An average autobiography by an incredibly intriguing movie star. She was an odd bird to be sure, and she knew it. Kate was very tongue in cheek about her strong personality and her period of being box office poison. There were a few topics I wish she had covered more thoroughly (like the box office poison), and the book was not completely chronological which was slightly annoying, but it was entertaining. I enjoyed her local references as I live close to Fenwick and she was a local celebrity.

She is such and interesting woman and I really loved the parts of the book that were about her childhood... very enchanted.

I love Katherine Hepburn. Grew up watching her films, and hearing wonderfully audacious quotes that always had an air of independence and empowerment. I expected to love this from the first page, and I did. The overriding thing that I took away was just how wonderful Her family was and how much they played a role in her life. If I ever have children I want to reread this frequently as a parent to remember how a positive parent can spur a child on to great things. The one thing I hoped to get that I did not out of this book is any insider info on her relationship with Spencer Tracy. She does talk fondly of it, and it's certainly not her style to 'dish' so that is forgivable. Well done. Read it!

3.5 really... This was certainly interesting. Not only all the quirky stories she told... but how she told them. It is written as a conversation... Kate is sitting around with a cup of coffee telling you the stories she accumulated along the way. Lots of "But I was telling you about..." and "Oh where was I". Lots of fragments. Turns out this is endearing and I felt that I was able to hear the stories in that warbley voice of hers like she was speaking to me. It was fun. I gave it to my mother for christmas... guess I should give it back to her now!

It took me a long time to get into this book because she wrote it as a stream of consciousness, and some of it didn't make sense. Incomplete thoughts, rambling, bits of conversation, bits of her own thoughts. Weirdly put together, but interesting once I got into it.

Parts of this book I absolutely loved, because Katherine Hepburn was a hilarious woman and reading her thoughts could be quite entertaining. And I absolutely adored reading about the golden age of Hollywood and the behind-the-scenes aspects that not many people are privy too. However, some of the chapters were simply ramblings, and you have to remind yourself that a woman in her 80's was writing this. It felt a lot longer than it actually was. Overall I did enjoy it, and it was a good read, but I'm glad I got it on BookBub for $0.99 :)
