5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Describes a Young Starlet's Inner Struggles, April 14, 2004

This review is from: Too Much, Too Soon (Hardcover)

This book was so beautifully written that I felt I could see the posh pastel interiors of her childhood home and the famous paintings on the walls. This story has very rich character studies as well as describing in fascinating detail the gradual out of control spiral in which Ms. Barrymore found herself through alcohol, drugs and other experimentations. I found myself wanting to know what happened to Ms. Barrymore after the book. I was saddened when I researched it and found she suicided four years after this book ends. I highly recommend this book if you are a student of the human condition.

Years before VH1, Diana bared her soul. Check out her brother who "never quite found himself" & jumped off the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING! Groovy Cat, or what?! This story reveals what is at the heart of Hollywood, but Diana was way at the cutting edge. She died (committed suicide) well before it was hip to dismiss Hollywood as a Death Factory. You may not glean anything from her story, but the details will attract you like a moth to the flames...
