Book Reviews of A Paper Life

This gal has had a rough life as a child, as an actress, as a daughter, as a wife, I am so glad she is now finally, whewwwwwww, able to have some enjoyment in her life. From her narcissistic non mother, and her eqotistical, violent, wife and girlfriend beating father, Ryan O'Neal, to the people he let abuse her and violate her, to constantly degrading her humanness and accomplishment. To her a*****hole husband, McEnroe, whom we all know what he's like. This woman needs a break. She may have had her digs in, but that's only because she was forced into actions in order to survive amongst the giants of humans in the Hollywood scenes and the 60's and the 70's and the pre-protection of children laws. Hooooooraahhhh for you Tatum. Good autobiography, she's brutally honest with herself and others. A very good read. I didn't put it down but once since I started reading it, and I'm not into bios.

What a tortured life she led, how bizarre a childhood... who would have thought that the "poor little rich girl" would have struggled so hard. A great read that also makes you madas hell at her parents.

great, but sad book. makes you very sad for the little girl who grew up with a violent idiot for a father and then went off and married the same kind of man

I liked the honesty of this book. I think Tatum definately has some issues but she has taken responsibility for some of it.
Enjoyable and interesting read.

This is a really good book. I enjoyed every minute of it. It's one of those books that you can hardly put down. I read it in one day! I would recommend it to anyone who likes autobiographies.

Great rags to riches to abuse to riches to abuse, etc etc. I hope she can truly stop the cycle. Good book!

a good book, with awesome photos. really great read. i enjoyed learning about tatum and her family life.

A weak, obviously ghost-written exposition of Tatum's tragic childhood and marriage to John McEnroe.

Very interesting book! I was never really into Tatum O'Neal, seeing as how I did not grow up watching any of her movies, but I did watch many of her father's. Insight into her marraige and her sex life, very good!

This is very well wrote. Interesting about her and her family.Hate to put it down

What a sad life!

This is a really good book. It came yesterday & I finished it today. This book reminds you that what you see & hear on TV is not what is really happening out there. A lot of things start making sense after reading this.

But sadly, she succumbed again after this book. She is talented but I feel that my family life even though it didn't have $$ growing up was way better than this mess.

GREAT BOOK!

This is a very good book it's about Tatum O'Neal but it also talks about her father&brothers and many other hollywood personas,a really interesting story especially her marriage to tennis player John McEnroe.

I loved this book. It was a very interesting and well written biography. Tatum did not hold back when talking about her life.
I read this book in about 2 sittings.

I'm not a Tatum O'neal fan, so I'm not real sure what drew me to this book, but I did enjoy it. Famous peoples lives are crazy.

A very descriptive story about her life as a child movie star, a drug addict and abused wife. Touching and heartfelt.

A good book that spent alot of time building up and talking about Tatum's childhood and marriage, but not so much about her own addictions and realtionships post McEnroe.

This was a very interesting tell all about Tatum's life.

I thought this was a very interesting look at how a child star grew up in Hollywood!I had a lot of respect for Ms O'Neil after reading about her difficult and violent childhood.

good and slightly disturbing, seemed to be a balanced look at Tatum O'Neals life
