I wondered how a woman so beautiful and rich could be so miserable to want to escape all the time. Now I know. I would definately recommend this book. Tatum bares it all!

This is the autobiography of child star, Tatum O'Neal. It's a shockingly honest portrayal of Tatum's life with her parents, her mother's alcoholism, her own drug abuse and first marriage. I love biographies and autobiographies of famous people and I give Tatum O'Neal's A Paper Life an A+!

Reading her father's book and than her book, back to back. I must say that I am sure that the truth is somewhere in between the two. I do admire Tatum for admitting that she had issues. Ryan's book was a little more blaming than self-loathing. A quick read.

Hi this book was a quick read. I really liked it, but then I started to realise (during the chapter of her marriage with John) she is always playing the victim, it is always the other person's fault.I do think she just wrote this book to take revenge on John

and her dad. Tatum is also very big on name dropping. Even if she met a famous person once, she managed to write it in this book and make friends out of them. LMAO.She managed to make me not like her, (I did before reading) but still an enjoyable read. Now I am going to give it to my mom. Thanks for sharing!!!!
