review 1: Like other reviews that I read for this book, I would give it five stars for the sheer courage of Kristin Beck but the writing was not good. The person who helped her to write it is also not a writer by trade but that does not explain the many typos, missing words and misspellings that fill this book. Did they not use a proofreader? It is just not put together well, which is a shame considering the material. Kristin Beck was born as Chris Beck, a genetic male. He served twenty years as a Navy SEAL and after retiring, decided to become the woman he felt that he had been inside all along. This could have been a fascinating book had it been well written. Unfortunately, it was not.
review 2: Ok, I have very mixed feelings about this book. Clearly, the author had li
... moreved a fascinating life, filled with pain and resilience and flaws and strengths. She is remarkable. So, as a life story it is worth the read. You have to be willing to overlook a couple things. First, it is poorly written and edited. The psychologist-writer involved needed an editor, and didn't get one, I think. Second, you have to overlook some mixing up of sexual identity and gender identity (though she mostly gets this right) and one reference to "human fetal child suffering" that made me nauseous. less
