review 1: I have owned Creating Myself for about 3 years now and I've tried reading it but never really could get into it until now. I am very happy that I started reading this book again and actually stuck with it because this book was freaking awesome! When the book first opens up Mia gives you a visual of when she almost committed suicide and she hooks you from there. After the first chapter she goes back to when she was younger and goes through points in her life that pretty much brought her to this point of almost committing suicide. I would like to point out that there are some funny and happy parts to balance out the bad parts. I would agree with Mia when she says that she "had the best of both worlds" through out this book, she spends a great deal of time talking about her c... morehildhood with her famous mother and father. Even if you don't know much about Mia Tyler or care to know much I would still tell you to read this book. This book is very inspiring especially to young girls. For someone who struggles with self image issues, I gained a lot from this book. Mia not only talks about the really fabulous parts of her model life but also the really bad stuff and I would say that is what made this book so good. Someone who can admit their own faults when they dont have to is truly beautiful.
review 2: I wonder how many people write memoirs before they turn 30 years old? Not many, but since the author lived more as a child than most do in an entire lifetime, there is plenty of grist here. It is a mixed bag of the usual coming-of-age happenings and mishaps, parent-child conflict, parties,drugs and sex, but for Aerosmith fans there is also plenty about her dad, Steven Tyler. Turns out the man with such a wild reputation is a pretty nice guy if not the best father. For her age, Tyler has some pretty good insights on life, showing that all life experience can be valuable if learning takes place as a result. less
