The Way I See It A Look Back at My Life on Little House
Author: Melissa Anderson
Few television celebrities of the 1970s were as widely known and loved as Melissa Anderson. Her big break came at the age of eleven, when she landed an audition for “a pioneer western.” From among more than two hundred young actresses, she was selected to play Mary Ingalls on Michael Landon’s Little House on the Prairie. — ...  more »

I have read all three redcent Little House stars books. By far Allison Angrims is the best, it is humorous and gives some dirt etc. Melissa Gilbert's is all about name dropping, very little about Little House and to me YUCK, Melissa Sue Anderson's is devoted completely tro Little House (There really is little else for her) and if you are a devout fan (as I am) you will enjoy this look down memory lane. You have to know the episodes and if you do I think you will find this one charning and filled with memories of Little House.

Bravo to Melissa Anderson (who was only credited as Melissa Sue Anderson because someone else in her union had the name Melissa Anderson before her), or Missy, who uses this book for a delightful stroll down memory lane. Of the three recent Little House books, I liked Alison Arngrim's the best, but Melissa Anderson takes a very concentrated look at her career and clearly came out of the child actor experience as an amazingly healthy adult. She doesn't talk a lot about her family, but they must have done something right. She may not be completely done with her acting career, either!

I enjoyed this book tremendously. Easy reading. Brought back many memories. What I liked especially about it was that there was no smearing of famous people. If you're looking for dirt, it's not there. Just a fun read.

this book was just a rehash of all the little house episodes. it seemed like she was watching the shows while she was writing the book and then just commented on each show. just very boring and not what i expected at all.

I gave it 1 star.... since it was really only a re-hash of all the LHoTP episodes. A few insights, but not really. Almost no personal information either.

This wasn't so much a memoir as an annotated description of all the Little House on the Prairie episodes that featured Mary.
