Me: Stories of My Life

Summary: Screwy people who don't like this book shouldn't speak....
Review: I adored this book to no end and have read it about six times - I also own it. The reason that it seems so disconnected is because Kath is telling it just as she would speak it - it is not in true novel form, and as a writer myself, I think it holds up better this way. If you truly appreciate the grandeur of Katharine Houghton Hepburn, then you will love this book, for it sounds as if Kath was right there in the room, talking to you. So, for all of those who gave it a bad rap, I feel this was very ignorant on your part. Read this book!

Summary: Kate Herself
Review: I read this autobiography when it first came out & it made me
wish I could know her...or move to Old Saybrook, at least. As
my all-time favorite actress, Katherine Hepburn was a true
original who can never be replaced. She also happened to have
worked (on 3 movies) with my all-time favorite actor, Cary Grant
and while most people don't think of Kate as a comedian, she was
hilarious! Rent "Bringing Up Baby" or "Philadelphia Story" or (one most haven't even heard of,) "Holiday." They had a wonderful
chemistry. Her book gave more insights to who she was as well as
some interesting insights while making movies & the actors she
shared time with. You'll never be sorry for picking this book up!

Summary: I Could Read It Again, and Again, and Again...
Review: In her own words, in her own style, Katharine proves, with this book, that no matter what she is doing, she always remains true to herself.
Sometimes the train of thought gets a bit off-track, but it only adds to the charm of the book, and gives me the same feeling as I had when I was a child listening to my grandparents telling me the stories of their lives.
I've always loved Hepburn's characters. They are so independent, fiesty, and fun. Now I know why. She makes no excuses, or apologies, for a life that was, at the time, scandalous.
It is a must-have for anyone who loves Hepburn, loves old Hollywood, or just appreciates prose with an authentic voice.
This book is one of the old friends that I invite to coffee for a leisurely Sunday morning read-a-thon.

Summary: THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Katharine Hepburn's autobiography absolutly rocks! !!!! Her life story, in her words, and ideas. It's funny, heartfelt, and smart. The ending with Spencer Tracy was sooooo sad. You MUST read this book if you like Katharine Hepburn or just the Golden age of Hollywood.

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.
Review: This book is just like Katharine Hepburn herself. Uniquely funny, unconventional, different and beautiful. I found the last three chapters to be especially the one simply titled 'Love', about her unique relationship with Spencer Tracy. Any fan of Hepburn, or of Hollywood's golden era must read this book. It was amazing.

Summary: self-aborb
Review: This is a egostict ramblimg, coherent only in the timeline of
relationship. Its a voyer,s delight, a canidate for National Enquirer publication. This is not edifiying reading---it promote self (as noted by the book title), is not good reading
and obcures the art of writing well. It may be a bestseller as
noted by the New York Times Book List but there are also best selling magazines next to the supermarket checkout stand.

Summary: WOW HOLD ON
Review: Yea so she wanders back and forth and speaks in her own way. The way an autobiograpy should be wrote. I found the book to be WONDERFUL. One of the best books I have ever read. Katharine Hepburn in her own words!!! She is the most amazing person I know and the best actress there has every or will every be!! For those of you that did not like it. You have got alot to learn about life! I especially loved the part about Spencer it came from the heart not a typewritter.
