The information in this book was fascinating and kept me reading. The writing, however, was not in a style that I found very easy to follow (particularly figuring out the timeline) for quite a bit of the book (childhood into mid-teems). I found myself having to re-read sections to understand what was being said, getting distracted by phrasing, and trying to figure out how old she was during certain events (as it seemed to jump around a bit at the beginning). It picked up nicely for about the final third of the book and I was able to read straight through that part quickly. Seems a little strange since there seems to have been a helper/ghostwriter, so I would've expected the book to flow a little better. But still worth the read for the story it tells!
