Book Reviews of Her Last Death: A Memoir
Book Review: SAVE YOUR MONEY
Summary: 2 Stars
I was really looking forward to reading this book. BIG LET DOWN! If you're looking for a book on narcissism then here it is. Predictible poor me plot, except this woman came from privledge. Following in her mother's footsteps she becomes a sex addict. Lives a life of privledge and great wealth and travel. Completely self indulgent she tires of her sexed up life and marries some guy in Montana. Then she kills her first unborn child because her husband "wasn't ready", only to be ready 8 mos later and ends up working in an abortion clinic. If you can get past the extreme self absorbtion then go for it. Personally, it was a huge let down.Book Review: Hard to put down
Summary: 4 Stars
I read and read and when I wasn't reading I was thinking about when I could continue reading. I really admire Susanna for stating her true feelings. She doesn't come across as being a victim; her writing style comes across as a matter of fact.
She tells about her dysfunctional relationship with her mother and father and their many relationships after the divorce. She also tells about her much needed sexual attention from men. Over all I think it's one of the better memoirs that I've read.
Book Review: Captivating, disturbing, eloquent
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this book up not knowing anything about it. The cover caught my eye. From the first couple of pages, I was hooked. I found myself purposefully reading it slowly as not to finish it!! The book is tragic (yes, I love tragic books) and disturbing yet semtimental and touching. It was a page turner and there were some things in this book that really made me think. She is an amazing storyteller with an amazing story to tell. It was definitley a favorite!Book Review: What a mother!!??
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the best memoirs I have ever read both for its shockingly frank portrayal of a mother on drugs, and for its writing which is exceptional for any genre. The beginning is just a tad slow but once the story takes off, boy does it ever! I found this memoir hard to put down and repeatedly found myself muttering, "I can't believe this mother." Outstanding.Book Review: Utter Rubbish
Summary: 1 Stars
I put this in the recycling bin after making it through two-thirds of the book. I could feel no sympathy for this woman when she was an adult. I could feel empathy for this little girl growing up with a soul-sucking, manipulative harpy for a mother, but when she turned into a soul-sucking, manipulative harpy herself --- eeesh.
