Me: Stories of My Life by Katharine Hepburn

2.0

Finally finished! I really, really wanted to like this, because I really like Katharine Hepburn. And the beginning part of it was interesting--her family and growing up, getting started, etc.--and, of course, it's her reflecting back on it much, much later. But a lot of the rest was boring and/or disjointed. Some seemed like she was dictating--kind of conversational/stream of consciousness. Then there were some downright weird parts, like the chapter she wrote about one of her trips with a director "friend" (?) like it was a play, or the one about her needing eye surgery that's like a phone conversation, but you only hear her side of it. And, overall, I don't feel like, other than her early years, I really got to know that much about her. I'll be interested to read a more conventional biography of Hepburn to see how it compares.
