clearly very intelligent woman

4。5* An incredibly honest and some times positively heartbreaking memoir。 However， Pam has incredible optimism and such a love for life I found myself wanting to cry out of happiness by the end。 I’m glad she got to tell her story， her way。

I love Pamela and I love memoirs but I think something is missing here。 Lovely poetry， sweet childhood memories and a great love。 But maybe we all wanted more than a glimpse in her life。 I think the documentary is more touching。 I felt her there more。 Even though I recommend this book。

A very wholesome memoir。 Pamela Anderson is back and better than ever。 She is the sweetest soul and I’m so happy that she’s able to tell her story。 A brilliant example of just how terrible fame and Hollywood can be once it chews you up and spits you out。

I can't get enough of Pam！ Between this and the new Netflix documentary， I'm smitten。 What a memoir！ The poetry interludes knocked a star off for me， personally， but hearing Pam's story from her own perspective is totally captivating。 A brilliant woman with a lot to say。 I can't get enough of Pam！ Between this and the new Netflix documentary， I'm smitten。 What a memoir！ The poetry interludes knocked a star off for me， personally， but hearing Pam's story from her own perspective is totally captivating。 A brilliant woman with a lot to say。 。。。more

I love a good memoir and was excited to read this one。She definitely had an interesting life。 However， I felt this one was surface level and didn't give me anything more than what I already knew。 I love a good memoir and was excited to read this one。She definitely had an interesting life。 However， I felt this one was surface level and didn't give me anything more than what I already knew。 。。。more

Interesting， but concerning to have so much abuse portrayed as love。

I thought this was a good autobiography。 I learned a lot I didn't know about Pamela and she seems very humble。 I wish she had gone into more detail about certain parts of her life， but I also understand why she didn't wish to put too much focus on certain things。 I thought this was a good autobiography。 I learned a lot I didn't know about Pamela and she seems very humble。 I wish she had gone into more detail about certain parts of her life， but I also understand why she didn't wish to put too much focus on certain things。 。。。more

Memoirs are my favorite。 People are just so interesting。 I feel like I’m besties with Pam now。 She’s lived quite the life。

I will always love Pamela！！！！！！ Love that she refused to use a ghostwriter or work with any collaborators to reclaim her narrative。 Plus plenty of tea- a great memoir for a great lady。

First， let me say that I love her resilience， free-spirit， activism， and l believe honesty; however， I probably knew about everything in the book from reading People magazine。 Although， Pam gives a count about her humble beginnings to how she has survived in Hollywood throughout the longevity of her career， the book does not give an in depth look at her lovers， friends， obstacles， challenges， and defining moments of her life in Hollywood。 I would have preferred a look inside her life with an hon First， let me say that I love her resilience， free-spirit， activism， and l believe honesty; however， I probably knew about everything in the book from reading People magazine。 Although， Pam gives a count about her humble beginnings to how she has survived in Hollywood throughout the longevity of her career， the book does not give an in depth look at her lovers， friends， obstacles， challenges， and defining moments of her life in Hollywood。 I would have preferred a look inside her life with an honesty about how people influenced and shaped who she is today and how she found her way back home。 。。。more

My 4 star review isn't so much for the writing， which was simple and very easy to read， but more so for the integrity and bravery to write her life for the world to see。 There were many， many opportunities that Pamela could have placed blame， or bashed her past lovers and husbands but not once did she do so。 That is an incredibly moral way to write， because if I were in her shoes， I doubt I could have had that much class。I remember Pamela as I grew up at the tail end of the baywatch scene and al My 4 star review isn't so much for the writing， which was simple and very easy to read， but more so for the integrity and bravery to write her life for the world to see。 There were many， many opportunities that Pamela could have placed blame， or bashed her past lovers and husbands but not once did she do so。 That is an incredibly moral way to write， because if I were in her shoes， I doubt I could have had that much class。I remember Pamela as I grew up at the tail end of the baywatch scene and all my guy friends loved her but I did not know her story。 Like so many people， I judged her by what the tabloids said and what her visual image was。 As I read this book， I genuinely felt remorse for my judgement of her， and was reminded of the life lesson of not judging someone by their appearance， which I believe we all forget from time to time。 。。。more

This was such a heart warming tale of Pam’s life。 She never played the victim role， though she rightfully could have， many times in her life。 She took everything as a lesson。 I loved her writing style， and her poems were so beautiful。 It is fascinating to learn what an intellectual and intelligent person she is。 She is well read， loves books， poetry， art， and growth。 She sees Tommy Lee as her first and only love， and her story about him is beautifully told。 I think people she read this book to f This was such a heart warming tale of Pam’s life。 She never played the victim role， though she rightfully could have， many times in her life。 She took everything as a lesson。 I loved her writing style， and her poems were so beautiful。 It is fascinating to learn what an intellectual and intelligent person she is。 She is well read， loves books， poetry， art， and growth。 She sees Tommy Lee as her first and only love， and her story about him is beautifully told。 I think people she read this book to find out about the true Pamela Anderson， and not just who the media has made us believe she is。 。。。more

I enjoyed listening to Pamela tell her own story， but I wanted more from this。 She skims her life， glosses over a lot and there's very little self reflection。 I respect her activism and all she has accomplished， and she's clearly intelligent and well read， which is why I think she could have dug deeper。 At one point she mentions teaching her sons that all feelings are important and valid， yet there is little trace of any deeper emotion here。 The obstacles she's faced along the way isn't given mu I enjoyed listening to Pamela tell her own story， but I wanted more from this。 She skims her life， glosses over a lot and there's very little self reflection。 I respect her activism and all she has accomplished， and she's clearly intelligent and well read， which is why I think she could have dug deeper。 At one point she mentions teaching her sons that all feelings are important and valid， yet there is little trace of any deeper emotion here。 The obstacles she's faced along the way isn't given much room。She's definitely the hero of her own story， it's just that the story she's telling is a little too rose-tinted for this reader's tastes。 。。。more

She really didn’t complete her entire biography。 Did not really like the “poetry” inserted throughout each chapter。

Covers much of the same ground as the Netflix documentary。 Both this and the Netflix piece are illuminating and bring up the topics of what rights a public person has on privacy and how we treat women who have made the choice to pose nude。

This is a honest， witty， and at times， heartbreaking， memoir。 Pamela has a unique writing style and tells her story asynchronously， but I appreciated it。 She’s a complex， intelligent individual， and it’s so sad to see how we as a society have treated her and women like her。 I’m so glad she was finally able to tell her story on her own terms （literally narrating the audiobook）！

Well， never giving Pamela Anderson too much thought， just a celebrity who made the news often。 After watching her documentary on Netflix I decided I should listen to the audiobook as well。 Her fame kind of fell in her lap。 She was I believe， 18 years old when she was at a baseball game， or some sort with a friend and she was caught on the Jumbotron。 And one of the local companies pursued her to become their spokes model person。 From there she was seen and pursued by playboy。 When she got that ca Well， never giving Pamela Anderson too much thought， just a celebrity who made the news often。 After watching her documentary on Netflix I decided I should listen to the audiobook as well。 Her fame kind of fell in her lap。 She was I believe， 18 years old when she was at a baseball game， or some sort with a friend and she was caught on the Jumbotron。 And one of the local companies pursued her to become their spokes model person。 From there she was seen and pursued by playboy。 When she got that call， she thought it was some sort of joke。 She always felt kind of not super pretty。 But when she found out it was a real offer she talked to her mother， who told her to go for it， “this is your chance， and you should live your life how you want to。“ and from there she never really looked back。 She was pursued by Baywatch for quite some time， but in the meantime， took the role on Home Improvement。 It sounds like most， liked her for her humbleness and slight naivety about her beauty and appeal。 She has been married several times， she is a romantic， and was always looking for a comfortable love。 I do believe Tommy was her one true love， but with his jealous and volatile nature， she just couldn’t stay with him。 Her two sons from their marriage， however， are her pride and joy。 They seem to really respect and care for each other。 And they really seem to admire her grit and determination to succeed， and pursue whatever she finds as an inspiration。 。。。more

After reading this quick and surprising memoir， I feel like I owe Pamela Anderson an apology。 It would read something as follows:Dear Pamela， I must admit that I have judged you and your life choices harshly due to the patriarchy & societal conditioning learned throughout my lifetime。 It was wonderful getting to know the real you by reading your memoir。 I am ashamed to have felt surprised by your depth， insight， and intelligence。 “Who would have though Pamela Anderson was so down to earth and re After reading this quick and surprising memoir， I feel like I owe Pamela Anderson an apology。 It would read something as follows:Dear Pamela， I must admit that I have judged you and your life choices harshly due to the patriarchy & societal conditioning learned throughout my lifetime。 It was wonderful getting to know the real you by reading your memoir。 I am ashamed to have felt surprised by your depth， insight， and intelligence。 “Who would have though Pamela Anderson was so down to earth and real？” — shame。 On。 Me。 Shame on all of us。 You are a beautiful soul who was destroyed by the men in your life。 I would have loved an alternate reality for you where you never met Tommy Lee。 Your sons are so blessed to have such a loving and devoted mother。 Thank you for all your activism: fighting for our planet， refugees， and fighting for animals。 We need more celebrity’s using their voice for good。 You are magic and I wish for you to find peace and love for all your days。Sincerely， A new found fan ❤️ 。。。more

Raw and beautiful。 The poetry stunned me。Rarely do I rate memoirs （because who am I to judge a story that’s someone’s own？）， but this was unexpectedly moving。
