review 1: I had the pleasure of meeting Kim about six years ago. She was doing an autographed signing near my hometown with other actors from Guiding Light. I had first seen her when I was about twelve on a beach in California. I didn't approach her at the time since she was having her own vacation with family. So, years later at this signing I was thrilled. She made the experience unforgettable by laying a big kiss on my then twelve year old son. It was full cirlce and forever memborable. Kind of like this book. Her story is not complete but having been devestated with the show went off the air this puts a little closure to a story that I'd been privy to growing up. I'd been an avid fan since before I could actually remember. If you loved the show, loved her, or just crurious. Go r... moreead it! I'm so glad I did.
review 2: I grew up watching Guiding Light with my mom and grandmother. I have always loved the Reva character, and I loved some of the history of Guiding Light. But I was very disappointed because of some of the inaccuracies in the book. For example, the man who originated the character of Alan Spaulding was widely known to have died of AIDS. Ms. Zimmer states in the book that she wasn't sure what he died of and that it was probably some tropical disease from his travels. I understand if she didn't want to outright say what he died of, but she had to have known at least the rumors about what he died of. I vividly remember it being widely reported in the news/soap opera magazine. She could have very easily said that he died after a long illness and left it at that. Instead, the story just seems made-up. If you're going to do a memoir, then you have an obligation to be honest in your telling of the story. This is just one of many areas where I felt that the reader was cheated. I still love the show and enjoyed the behind-the-scenes stories, but honestly, this book just tarnished my impression of Ms. Zimmer. less
