"I think I was born stubborn, that's all.",

This review is from: AS I AM (Hardcover)
To my great surprise, I enjoyed this autobiography very much and was sorry when it ended. I had seen a few of Patricia Neal's movies, but was not a fan, and expected to skim through the book; instead I found myself savoring every word. What a life she's had, full of dramatic highs and lows. She found early success on Broadway and won an Oscar during her long Hollywood career, and is known for her love affair with Gary Cooper (she details many other affairs, as well) and her strokes, when she was 39 and pregnant, which left her unable to speak and walk.
Her turbulent marriage to eccentric writer Roald Dahl, the death of a child, the accident that left another child brain-damaged, and her relationships with a who's-who list of show biz greats combine to make this a book that is very hard to put down. It is written with so much energy and determination that I became fascinated with Patricia Neal. She is known publicly for her great personal strength, but honestly reveals her weaknesses and fears as well. Highly recommended as an outstanding Hollywood autobiography. Kona

roald dahl said it best, "pat is the most honest person ever!" she certainly is, i read the book in one day and as the other reviewer stated, i was sad to see it end, her book was so inspirational that i find myself turning to it in my times of darkness, i think every young woman should read this book, it's like having that mother daughter talk with your mom- great read!!!
1million stars!!!!

What a delightful surprise, an exceptional book,

This review is from: AS I AM (Hardcover)
As a Cooper fan, I only honestly bought the book to read about Pat's side of her affair with Gary. To my delightful surprise the book from the first page was enthralling and it took no time at all to finish. Her candor, her details of other affairs and her honesty and openess make this a truly impressive read and you soon think of her as a person rather than an actress or someone that had an affair with the famous Gary Cooper.
Definitely worth the money but more importantly, worth your time. Buy it and buy it NOW!!!
