this is about Nancy Reagan. she tells about the time while she lived at the WHITE HOUSE. ( )

Interesting account of Nancy Reagan's life. As one of history's most maligned and misunderstood first ladies, she definitely has a right to a "Turn" to speak. Nancy tells it as it happened. It's so sad how the press misinterpreted nearly every single thing she said and did. Nancy talks about her relationships with her children, her husband, some of her husband's staff, and world leaders. It's very readable and in more of a conversational tone. Good reading. ( )

An interesting book into the 'behind the scenes' of a politcal family. I felt that Ms. Reagan was using this book to get back at some people who she felt did her wrong, but over all, overlooking the nasty remarks, this is an book to be read by those who liked the Reagans and want to know more about the family. Ms. Reagan speaks of each of her children, and Patti, who seems to be the 'black sheep' is spoken of with hurt in the pages. Since the writing of the book, Patti and Nancy have made amends, but the emotional pain is on every page where Patti is mentioned. Good reading for those who like this subect matter. ( )

2340 My Turn: The Memoirs of Nancy Reagan, by Nancy Reagan with William Novak (read 14 Nov 1990) I am surprised I read this book, but am glad I did. Actually I found it absorbing and at times very touching. Her chapters on her surgery for breast cancer, her mother's death, and Iran-Contra were not badly written, if rather schmaltzy, and I enjoyed her account of her fight with Don Regan. I also thought her account of her time with Mrs. Gorbachev was great to read and really not too badly done. I started the book thinking her ghostwriter had done a poor job but the latter part of the book made me think better of him. I don't admire Nancy much, but my image of her is greatly elevated by my reading of this account. ( )
