liked the review of a good self help book which gives reality of the great superstar lives and how they achieve that position. This book seem to give all the aspects of the struggle that the superstars undergo for their dream to come true. I also like the sentence that all superstars are humans and pass though all the pains. I hope this will be a nice experience of reading.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

It sounds like you really liked this book. Unfortunately, I'm not much on reading memoirs, even fictionalized ones so this one is probably not for me. It does indeed sound like Streisand had a hard life and overcame so much to get where she is so that is inspiring and interesting. Thanks for your insight!
“Even if she be not harmed, her heart may fail her in so much and so many horrors; and hereafter she may suffer--both in waking, from her nerves, and in sleep, from her dreams.”

The sample and review committed me to believe that this fiction novel could be intriguing. I felt sad about Barbara losing her father at an early age. Very often, she felt his absence as a massive hole in her life. It was unfortunate that Barbara's mother didn't take care of her emotional turbulence in her childhood. I liked Barbara's strong willpower and insightfulness to build her life in spite of all these voids in her upbringing. A recommended read for everyone.

I didn't know that being a super star can be challenging. The writer has proved through this well connecting paragraphs in his book how how work can break barriers.

The issue of being colour blind is well articulated and expresses in an easy to grasp manner.

Wow! What a journey, I'm amazed by the people's ability to go far beyond one's capabilities. I certainly see that Barbara has achieved those height too. Thank you for your review!

I actually don’t know a lot about Barbara Streisand but this sounds really entertaining. For a fan, I would imagine this to be such an amazing way to connect and learn so much more about this amazing star and what she really went through to become the person she was. I didn’t think it would be something I’d want to read judging the cover but the review and sample have intrigued me!

I just started reading and was unable to stop. The preview had me spellbound. This is one book that I never thought I would want to read but now I can't wait til I can get it and have time to finish it.

Sounds like an inspirational book that gives us all a view on how to overcome the challenges in life, as said in the review " it is such a cruel thing for mothers to declare love for one child above the other" despite the fact that we find that in almost every home in our society, I believe the bottom line of it is that despite what other people thinks about us if we want to truly be successful we must realise and discover our inner beauty and that will help nurture our self worth and esteem. Great review, I recommend the book for every home.
