calebkuma 's review for:
The Woman in Me
by Britney Spears
((2.5 rounded up))
As someone who grew up listening to Britney, watched her rise to super-stardom, saw her "break," and was horrified at the aftermath she endured this book was an obvious read for me. as such, I am vvvvv biased.
The story and the real quality of the writing is powerful in it's own right. It is not perfectly written, and it is not a comprehensive narrative. I imagine (and hope) that the mere act of writing this was therapeutic for the author to make sense of the horrific things she had to endure and the strength that she gained.
Still, at times it felt unpolished. Childish, almost. I don't think this is a lack of editing, but rather a choice to produce a "raw" memoir. Unfortunately, the impact seems to be lessened by the unsophisticated nature of the writing as a whole. Perhaps, that's the point. This book isn't even really for the audience. Overall, as a memoir, it didn't give me anything I didn't already know.
