I thoroughly enjoyed getting the chance to know more about Anjelica Huston's life, to read her thoughts on things as well, and cannot wait for the second installment.
While many memoirs and autobiographies often either feel stilted or completely manufactured, A Story Lately Told is genuine and well-written. I liked it so much I think I'll turn in my library copy and buy my very own! :)

This book was very, very ramble-y. The name dropping didn't bother me a whole bunch (obviously there is going to be some of that, considering her father and her own career), but the lack of coherency did. I blame that more on the editing, rather than the writing. It did sort of read like she was dictating to someone, who then didn't spend much time rereading what she said. Not my favorite Hollywood memoir, but definitely not the worst.
I had read so many glowing reviews for this book, and while I think she is a talented writer, I found myself not all that interested in what she had to say. That's an awful comment because this is a memoir of her life and a view into the life of her father as well, but I felt like it was a cathartic exercise for her more than a memoir for the general public. I guess most memoirs are, but I do enjoy picking a memoir up that is written by someone I admire (Huston being one of those), but this one was just okay.… (mehr)
