Perfection from La Lucci

What a fun listen! From the opening chapter at the Daytime Emmys when she won her long-awaited award to her last days on AMC...Susan tells us every story in between. I love hearing about her early days in New York and the sacrifices made by her and her husband. Like any good soap opera...Susan also included secrets and background into her famous life. If you love Susan or Erica Kane...you will love this book.

Very Entertaining!

Susan Lucci's memoir is a very enjoyable listen!

I must admit--I am a fan from way back in the beginning years of All My Children, so I certainly knew bits and pieces of her story. But what a well-written and beautifully read book--I was truly surprised! She seems to be a lovely lady with a beautiful family, and I will always remember this memoir fondly and wish her well.

Like the positive outlook 😍

It was ok for me.Well read however it is just not possible to have not single bad day. Sorry Susan😜

Entertaining Account of her Life

She recounts the story of her life and all that happened to her. She is a positive upbeat person. I appreciate how she speaks well of others. It wasn't a deep account of her life, but her personality shines through. You can tell she struggled at times with hoping she could have a career and be a good mother--however, she reconciles that.

loved it!

narrator was awesome just hearing her voice again. It was such a great story! love her.

Soapy soap opera of Susan Lucci

Worst memoir ever, very disappointing… I like All My Children and have watched it for years, and I was expecting to hear about some insights of the show: stories behind the scenes, some history of it, because Susan Lucci is a veteran of the show. I wasn’t looking for gossips or dirty laundry, but I was not expecting it to be that boring, cheesy, soapy, and non confrontational. Everyone is great, except maybe “poor” Carrie Ann Inaba . SL is not only a bad actress, and a bad dancer, but she is a bad writer as well – this is my impression after finishing the listening of this book. Plus, I was very annoyed by how SL is jumping constantly from 70ties and 80ties to now times and back; whole book like this, constant flashbacks, no chronological order in it at all, no rules, no logic, very difficult to keep track of events, and very uninteresting events. It is like family members after long time apart during family reunion would talk about everything and anything at same time. So weird, I am wondering if she used any editorial help during writing of this book, so unprofessional it seems. On top of it, she managed to advertise Youthful Essence microdermabrasion and Malibu pilates chair she is a spoke person for .. Gosh, give me a break!
