Who told this women she could write!! I had a hard time following her story in some chapters. She seemed to space out at times and go on and on. Her next book she be an apology for the first.

I am a very big fan of Veronica Webb's; however after reading her book I realized that this is not her forte'. The book was so basic. The wording was just like DUH! DUH! DUH!. This is definitely not the work of a journalist (she needs to stop referring to herself as one)this is truly amateur work to say the least.

Yeah, the cover on this book is good. It's a sturd y hardcover the size of a paperback. I'm sure the publisher printed it that way so the book wouldn't fall apart when it's thrown across the room. i wouldn't recommend this for my dog to chew on.

If I could have given this garbage no stars I would have. The author is always on tv pretending she is smart so I thought the book might be a nice vacation read...I should have stuck with Terry McMillan! Veronica Webb goes on and on about stuff I've already been reading for years. She doesn't even have any relevant insight into her topics! I wish this book had been written by Alek Wek or even Iman, then at least it might have been worthwhile.

That woman from DC that gave this book lots of stars must have accidentally posted her review on the wrong book. Veronica Webb use to be cool when she was in Jungle Fever but now she's just some stuck up snob. She must be mad because Spike Lee married some other high yellow. I don't know who told her she is the "voice" of black people because she is just another pretender and she doesn't even write well. Next time I'll spend my money on a Tyra Banks book because at least she's for REAL.

This book is a complete waste of time. It reads like some fluff article for US magazine.If you want to read something interesting about a "real" supermodel, check out Tyra Banks book, at least it's in colour.

Veronic Webb is on tv and in magazines so often that I thought her book would be interesting. What it is is a rehashing of topics that are already on overplay. The parts about her family and career are equally dull and the pictures aren't even in color. I gave this one to my little sister because I was embarrassed to have it on my bookshelf. Next time she should publish a book of pretty pictures.

I have to admit that I was strangely intrigued by this book. After I heard about the brawl Ms. Webb had with Mary J. Blige I couldn't wait to get my hand on it. Unfortunately for me (and for my $15) the book is a total dud. No juicy information, no useful anecdotes, no mindless namedropping, not even a decent make-up tip. I hope Veronica saved her advance, I think her contract is up!!!

Veronica Webb is a poor writer. She has fought very hard to prove to everyone that she's more than just a pretty face. It is unfortunate that this memoir will prove all of her critics right. Evidently somewhere along the line someone has told this woman that she has a literary voice and she believed him. Her writing leaves much to be desired, her arguments lack internal fire, and she uses the word "DUH" much too often. I understand the need one may have to capitalize on dubious fame before the spotlight dims, I sincerely hope that Veronica has a good financial planner.Perhaps a course in journalism would do this self-styled social commentator some good, it may be too late, at least she's still pretty.

Trying to pass herself off as someone literate for the last decade might just be how Veronica Webb stays so remarkably thin and fit - it's a helluva workout. From her unenlightened opinions on social politics to her desperate attempt at wit Veronica takes the reader from A to A and a half reminding us why the question "Why don't MORE models write books?" is not an utterance commonly heard amongst the masses. What hurts most is that Veronica thinks there's someone else who wants to know what she thinks about Desiree Washington's rape case and abortion. Like the meaningless musings of the village idiot would be the first place one would go to hear about current events. Whatever, Veronica. Just take the book and shove it into the backside of your overinflated hyphenate:" model *slash* actress *slash* brain surgeon *slash* fashion philanthropist *slash* author," and retire early in an attempt to add *slash* golf pro. It just goes to show - young aneorexi! cs of the future take note - although Miss Webb is a petite girl, it doesn't change that you could almost squeeze all the things she doesn't know in Madison Square Garden and a pair of XXL parachute pants.
