A review by racheltheripper
The Woman in Me by Britney Spears
I liked what another reader wrote about not giving a rating, because I agree. This isn't a piece of literature or a story that I feel like I have any right to rate on a 5 star scale.
As far as content of the book, I was devastated for Britney throughout. I was a kid when Baby One More Time dropped, and my only knowledge of Britney was unfortunately driven from the media. I never thought twice to question people, and this book was a great reminder that none of us know what is happening in another person's world.
It took a lot of strength to be open and candid about the many hardships of her life. In some places, I could absolutely relate. But hers is a life so tragic to me, that I couldn't imagine persevering the way she did. I'm so sad she lost so much time and freedom.
Reading-wise, it's a very easy read, albeit a bit confusing at times. There were chapters I had to start over because I couldn't tell who was in the anecdote, and some variations in voice that threw me off. Nothing that ruined the book for me though.
I do recommend it as a piece of history, though, and an important reminder about the dark side of humanity.
