This one is next on my list, how is it?

The show is much better than the book. If you like the show it's almost all Jenji Kohan's doing. It's not that the book is bad but most of the storylines didn't actually occur. Crazy Eyes is 2 pages tops, the starve out didn't happen, many book characters were consolidated into archetypes. Pennsatucky never gave her any problems, etc etc.

As a memoir it was okay, not the best I've read.
