Book Review for the Nonfiction Read-a-Thon book #3: Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty


Book: Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty by Diane Keaton

Source: Library

Rating: 1 star

Review:

I still think Diane Keaton is a good actress however this books wasn't very good. It's dull and boring and very scattered.

Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty is a compilation of essays that don't seem to have much focus and sometimes appears really incoherent. The author's voice and story telling rambles a lot, there were some interesting things shown in here but it's drowned out by all the babble.

Reading this feels like I some how stumbled upon the author's journal because it's filled with a lot of inner monologue, drivel and a lot of other things that just don't seem as if they should be shown. Don't get me wrong there are some touching moments in the book when she's talking about her family but mostly everything in this book feels like a huge waste of time to read.

She described everything from her childhood to her hits and misses in life and in Hollywood. Her feeling about aging, her hair, her desire to keep buying and remodeling houses and a multitude of other nonsensical things.

I heard that her book Then Again is a good read perhaps I'll think about reading that one since this one was so disappointing.
