Me: Stories of My Life by Katharine Hepburn
3.0

Katharine Hepburn was/is amazing, and reading about her life in her own voice was certainly enjoyable. I don't give it a higher star rating because, quite frankly, it was not clearly written and there were gaps in both logic and chronology reminding the reader that this is what ghost writers and editors are for. No idea where the editor was on this one, but it would have been a better book if they had simply clarified the language.

I think the sweetest part was reading about her days with Spencer. There was so much there, yet clearly so much held back in that private space that she managed to always preserve from public eyes, despite our yearning to know more. Also a highlight was her talking about her parents whom she considered to be, and who clearly were, exceptional human beings.

I think my main disappointment is there is nothing here that might not be found in any other biography about her.
