Laudable

This book is not what you would expect. There is substance to her life. Quite the journey.

You will love this book

Bo Derek's approach to the ups & downs of life is quietly wise and very good natured. Her life story (so far!)and her relationships are fascinating. This book inspires us all to be like her: a woman of great inner beauty AND strength. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and getting to know Bo.

Think you know Bo?

Think you know Bo? Well, unless you are one of her friends, you do not. Read this book and you may begin to get an idea of the real Bo. What an interesting life adventure she has had so far! This is one gutsy woman. This book made me wish I was a friend of Bo's. You go Bo!

Don't underestimate Bo

Very entertaining read. I've long admired Bo as a down to earth, straight shooter. Come to learn she's also humorous and more self-deprecating than I thought. I enjoyed the whole book, but found especially interesting reading her side of all those tabloid/gossip stories. Also of interest are her friendships with Ursula Andress and Linda Evans. I now have a whole new level of respect for these extraordinary women. (Reading about how Linda came through for Bo when John died almost brought me to tears). As a result of reading this book I'm now a bigger fan of Bo's than I was.

Great Book

The book was great, read it in one sitting. Bo can tell a great story, makes you feel you were there, she also is quite funny at times. I highly recommend it.
