While I'm normally not into celebrity biographies, there are a handful that I loved and this is one of them, so much that I consider this required reading. Ideally, you should listen to the audiobook (again, Grammy-winning audiobook). Viola pulls you in and doesn't let go. Her autobiography is all encompassing from birth to present, all the details from her childhood to working in Hollywood. I don't know what else to say other than to read this book. It is incredible.

Over 9 hours later, I understand. Viola Davis is a revelation in narrating her story, and goodness, what a story it is. I laughed, I cried, I welled up, I felt it. I felt all of it.
This is an incredible book, and I highly recommend the audiobook to hear Viola tell her story to you.
P.s. I am now in post-Viola depression and am not sure any subsequent memoirs/audiobooks will live up to the incredibly HIGH bar.
