It was interesting but not as good as I expected. I suppose I'm used to reading auto-biographies. It was difficult to trust the information that this biography presented as it came from Lindsay's press releases, interviews and public statements - all of which seem to be hiding the truth, at times. She claims she has never done drugs; then admits to smoking marijuana and then is in rehab for a serious drug addiction. I feel bad for this starlet - I found it interesting to read about her early career and family situation (which is very troubled) but still can't help but judge many of her poor decisions.
