Eh...really didn't have much choice in reading this as a coworker all but thrust it in my face and said "Here, read this!" So I did. It was okay. The height of Ali MacGraw's career and Love Story and all that was a bit before my time so there really wasn't much interest on my part to begin with, but hearing (or reading) Ali's story told in her own words...well, she certainly didn't paint herself in the best light.

This is Ali Macgraws story of how she stared as a model and turned into an actress. She had some excellent parts in her career but kind of vanished from sight. She was not lucky in marriage. Steve Mcqueen was a not nice drunk. I think she has taken on a quiet life now. I did enjoy reading about her.
Wanted to read the background behind the movie, "Love Story" and her marriage to Steve McQueen. More of an ordinary life than I expected. Disappointing dissolution of her marriage to Steve McQueen.
Was good until she included the diary excerpts in the last one quarter go the book. Seemed very contrived to me.
First half very good, but didn't go anywhere after Steve McQueen's death.
It was alright. Not a favorite of mine.
