review 1: I went back and forth on this book. It was kinda of just a bunch of random quotes from Katherine Hepburn and people that knew here and at times it felt haphazard which annoyed me. I liked the personal details about her life, which seemed to be heavier in the beginning and in the end. Her relationship with her family and Spencer Tracy was interesting, although I would have definitely liked a few more details. The middle 3rd was a bit of a push to get through, but I'm glad I finished it because I liked some of her quotes in the end. She was certainly and interesting character and its always interesting to see what types of people result from certain upbringings.
review 2: Katharine Hepburn is one of my favorite actresses; her intensity on screen is magnetic. She ... morewas just about that intense in real life. I really felt like I got to know her through this book. But, it left me wanting more. Her relationship with Spencer Tracy was alluded to often, but because she was so private about it and the book was in her own words for the most part I guess that's understandable. The woman who wrote this book really didn't have a good handle on transitioning from one piece to another, or how to string moments together to create a whole. The chapter which covers Hepburn's film career is particularly arduous.Overall, worth reading just because I adore Katharine Hepburn. less
