Summary: Only for the clueless
Comment: I bought this book to help my grandmother write the story of her very difficult and inspiring life,
and it was useless. I didn't even bother giving it to her. The questions are so generic and vanilla;
no one could write an interesting story with this as a guide.

Customer Rating:

Summary: A wonderful gift to give.
Comment: A gift for all ages. It says you are worth listenig to. The questions evoke pictures in one's mind
making it easy to begin the journey. These are questions that one may need to share or just for
private reflection.

At first those who receive it may be intimidated by the idea of an
auto-biography, but once any of the questions are read, the person becomes thoughtful and
interested.

I gave Two to my 16 year old niece, with a nice fountain pen, and asked her
to keep one and give one to someone special. Some pages she will not be ready to fill out yet, and,
I told her to leave a little space at the bottom of those she did fill out, some will be added to
over the years.

Everyone should have one. I just bought six more!

Comment: I got this book and a new Marshall book, WORDS TO LIVE BY (Emily and Kate Marshall), for my parents
to fill out for their grandchildren. Both are excellent. The Book of Myself made it easy for them to
recount their life stories. Words to Live By helped them write all those great bits of
lessons-learned and sage advice that grandparents do so well. Now my kids have so much to remember
their wonderful oma and opa by! (and me too!) Both books are warmly done, with encouraging and
interesting questions on a range of topics.

Summary: My book
Comment: This book was horrible...wait a minute, I was reading mine and it is all about someone like me! />
It is an excellent book for discovering who you are and what you are like at a certain
period of time! I love the way this book made me feel about myself as a person. It is recommended
for all types of people and all types of age groups. It is a grown up diary. Enjoy yourself while
doing it. I gave this book to my partner as a gift and he loved reading about me!

Summary: Do It Yourself Autobiography
Comment: This book has no depth to it, no feeling or connection to feeling of any period of their life. It
is juvenile and infantile.If you want a true discovery of who this person is/was, this does not make
it!
