Interesting story of the life of a celebrity. However, nearly every page has at least one type and numerous pages have typo after typo. It's hard to believe a publishing company would print a book that, literally, appears not be have been proofread: words like held instead of help, mean instead of meant, 'eds' left off where required, and on and on and on. If you are a fast reader this has a tendency to slow you down a bit when you have to skim twice to get the meaning of thought after thought.

Splendid! Heartbreaking! An absolutely first-rate book! Jennifer's writing is beautifully controlled, brilliantly written, and extremely touching. It's a compelling story of beauty, fame, scandal, and an overcoming will to survive the odds. Jennifer O'Neill paints a picture on every page... it's terrific!

This is a well written book for anyone who has experienced brokeness and survived some real tragedies. She points out that there is victory and God meets you when you finally surrender to his almighty power. Her family is restored and she is healed from her love addiction and can now have a loving relationship with her family. A real encouragement to anyone who has had a life of emotional abuse.

It is probably one of the best celebrity autobiographies I have ever read and I've read plenty. Jennifer's writing is intelligent, witty, and engrossing. So much so that every couple of chapters feel as if you have been on several dates with Jennifer as she unravels the many, many successes and travails of her life. The real beauty of this book is that it is written for the honor and glory of God.

An intimate and inspiring chronicle of a triumphant journey of faith. It is a wonderful look at Jennifer's own frightening walk through her personal fears, and a personal reminder of God's enduring love, penned along the path of righteousness.

Spirited, charming... truly remarkable Book! They Don't get any better than this. I couldn't put this book down... I have always loved Jennifer's work, but now I admire her strength, honesty and relationship with Jesus Christ

She doesn't whine, play the victim or try to place blame. She shoulders the responsibility for her past actions and then places the credit for her salvation and happiness at the feet of Jesus. Truly a refreshing approach for a member of the baby-boom generation! Jennifer is so very charming, the book is well written and I have no doubt it will be a tremendous success.

Surviving Myself isn't just any book, it is a true-story of passion, conflict, and triumph! It's exciting and Spectacular!! Funny, daring, endearing and unpredictable. It's an explosively thrilling book. Can I say more!

Funny, tough and tender. A book that is a class act! The true-life story of Jennifer O'Neill is simply magnificent. Hollywood is destined to make this novel into a mini-series or film. This book communicates on the level of deep human feelings, and leaves an unforgettable impact. It is my pleasure to recommend to your attention this book! Jennifer's story shows how the Lord can take a life and change it, mold it, and shape it - into a life that will be a great testimony for Him!

Disarming, frank, and bluntly honest. Ms. O'Neill's style is reader-friendly: entertaining, but you feel the layers underneath.

For those of us living with our demons, the title hits home. You live; you learn.

I recommend.
