Don't waste your dough
I don't know the author personally, but from what I see on TV, I really don't like her personality at all. THat being said, I thought I would give her the benefit of the doubt considering that she had a co-writer for this project and a good story.
What a let down. There was virtually nothing new revealed in this book. I think if you know the story about her father than you can safely assume what her family must have gone through. I have seen interviews where the author says that she felt it was time for her to tell HER story, but all these years later, honestly, who cares? Maybe if this book provided some true insight I'd feel differently, but it didn't. This is all a lot of fluff and I think she either just needed some money or its just a vehicle for her to move onto "bigger" things like Celebrity Apprentice or a new line of this or that.
She seems like she has some serious mental problems and anger issues and comes across as quite the narcissist. I think if anything her ego may need to be put in check if she thinks the world wants to know her side of what is essentially her dad's story (contrary to what she repeatedly says in interviews...that this is HER story. Its not.).
I'd say either wait for this to be deeply discounted, borrow it from a friend or get it from the library.
