review 1: Somtimes the truth hurts... The Naked Truth is a beautifully written memoir. Not only is it gripping in its honesty, but it is also an eye opener which exposes the outstanding misconceptions regarding HIV/AIDS. Marvelyn is capable of telling her story, her way. It is completely straightforward and no aspects of her trying life are sugar coated for us readers. As you read on through each raw and unscripted chapter, you will become emotionally attached to Marvelyn, as if she is someone you have known all your life. It is as heart wrenching as it is fascinating to be part of Marvelyn’s life changing experience when she became infected with the deathly virus of HIV. Possibly one of the most interesting aspects of this memoir is that we get to in a way witness a scared young... more girl blossom into a self-assured and successful young woman. Any parent, young woman and guidance counselor would benefit from the insight provided by Marvelyn’s cautionary tale. Many women struggle with self-love and confidence just as Marvelyn had; however, we can all feel empowered after reading her inspirational life story. Marvelyn is not only an exemplary role model for all women; she is also a symbol of hope. After reading how Marvelyn was able to deal with not only the life threatening virus HIV, but with all the surrounding negativity that comes with it, you will be left feeling brave, confident and prepared for whatever life throws your way. We are all capable of overcoming life’s challenges with grace. The key to it all, as Marvelyn perfectly demonstrated, is to never give up on yourself.
review 2: I choose to read “The Naked Truth: Young, Beautiful, and (HIV) Positive” by Marvelyn Brown out of curiosity. I looked at the cover of the book and saw a beautiful young woman who just look normal. I turned the book over and read the back text. At that moment I said this young lady has a story to be told, so I will read this book from beginning to end. I can say for myself that this book is a good read, I would tell another person to read this book because it honestly opens up your eyes to a person who’s life developed into a new life over night. What I mean by that is, when I first opened up the the book I noticed she told the story from the past to the present. I have chosen two quotes from the book to show how the story develop from past to present. Quote #1 is “As a child, I adored my mother, but I was definitely a daddy’s girl.” I chose this quote because it shows how her family started off as I good loving family. Quote #2 is “It was one of those moments––a “just this one little thing” prayer. I chose this quote because I have had one of those moments but I felt like her life could have used a little more of these but she was strong enough to handle life. Marvelyn Brown was a young lady who grow up in Nashville, Tennessee where she lived her mother and her sisters. As she got older, things started to change, first her family moved a rounded, she started high school and fell in love with sports. She had became close with a group of friends and had her rivals that she hated. As she got a little bit older, she met this boy who she loved like no other boy before and then after loving him she found out she was HIV positive. less
