frizzella 's review for:
It's Always Something
by Gilda Radner
For awhile while reading this book, I was thinking in my head..."3 stars... 3 stars..." because, let's face it, Gilda is not a writer. The focus of this book often shifted, there wasn't much organization to it, the vocabulary was very simple. It's no academic text, it's not literary... it just is.
But, what I realized by the time I was reading the last twenty pages was - that's not what it's meant to be. This book isn't meant to be some literary masterpiece full of colorful language and impressive vocabulary... that wasn't Gilda, and that's not this book. This book was just the upright, honest telling of her story in her own words in her own language the way she wanted it to be. Throughout her life and throughout her book Gilda constantly proved that despite not having certified "talent," she still succeeded, made it through, and was inspiring in doing so. This book was amazing. I'll never forget it. And more importantly, I'll never forget Gilda.
I also recommend watching "Love, Gilda" the CNN documentary recently released. It's very good.
