With most autobiographies I just want to read the beginning and the end and I long for someone to just tear out the middle few hundred pages. I didn't have that feeling with this book though. I found it to be just the right length and read every word of it without wanting to skim.
Both Vanessa and her mother were entertaining and I found them easy to relate to. I learned a lot about Vanessa's life that I wouldn't have otherwise known and much to my surprise it was pretty interesting. The pictures scattered throughout were nice too.
I was curious as to why they never mentioned the song that I most associate with Vanessa Williams ("Colors of the Wind" from Pocohontas) but maybe they weren't permitted by Disney or something. Anyway, a very good read for an autobiography. I'd recommend it.
