"Brilliant memoir of Hollywood and contemplation of the movies written by one of its most unique stars. Louis Brooks is just as striking and unconventional a thinker as she was a screen presence."
"So short! I wish she had been even more thorough; it felt like a very selective description of both her life and Hollywood at the time. Still, she gets points for covering ground that not many have bothered with, that I've read so far."
