"I am fascinated by AE. At times, this book captivated me...but other moments, it lost me. Probably better to read more autobiographies of her and look for her own writings, than dabble in others' musings."
"I WAS AMELIA EARHART has as its intriguing premise the idea that Earhart and Noonan being lost over Howland Island is not the end of the story. In this slight but earnest volume, that makes for a great start. It's only 145 pages, but it has the potential for packing a wallop.
Unfortunately, the author is unable or unwilling to choose a narrator for her story, and it suffers as a result. At times it is in first person with Amelia speaking; at times it is a third person overview. The juxtaposition is jarring and, as a result, unsatisfying. If one speaker or the other had been chosen and committed to, this might have been a five star read, because the emotions and behaviors that are a part of the story are compelling indeed."
"I read this book after a recommendation from Don Imus of all people. For a first time auther I thought this book was captivating and very well written. It's a very quick read and worth it."
"This book wasn't quite what I thought it was going to be. I didn't expect Amelia to sound so miserable - though I suppose even the most admired person on earth feels miserable sometimes. But this Amelia Earhart did very little besides feel miserable. Maybe I had never thought about the great Amelia Earhart being unhappy and miserable, but I was hoping to see her more vivacious side and was disappointed in this book."
