Reviews
Praise for Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty "Relaxing and charming . . . like a dishy lunch with the movie star you thought you'd never be lucky enough to meet. . . . This is delicious writing and is full of a positive point of view, exclamations of the beauty of ordinary things and helped turn me from sour to sweet in the few hours that I was reading her book. . . . Diane Keaton is in a class by herself and this book is good for the soul."-- Chicago Tribune "Wise, witty, thoughtful, uplifting, the truth, unvarnished--and very funny."-- Toronto Star "She's talented, iconic, quirky . . . and wonderfully blunt. This is just a small sampling of the reasons we love Diane Keaton, and they all permeate the pages of her new memoir. . . . Keaton sticks to her guns and keeps it totally honest. And it is beyond refreshing."-- Elle "A breezy little volume by an actress facing old age with aplomb. . . . [Keaton] sprinkles memories of her long career, including her friendships and more with certain leading men . . . [and] drops plenty of names."-- Kirkus Reviews Praise for Diane Keaton's Then Again "A far-reaching, heartbreaking, absolutely lucid book about mothers, daughters, childhood, aging, mortality, joyfulness, love, work and the search for self-knowledge." -- The New York Tim es "A poem about women living in one another's not uncomplicated memories . . . Part of what makes Diane Keaton's memoir, Then Again, truly amazing is that she does away with the star's 'me' and replaces it with a daughter's 'I.' " --Hilton Als, The New Yorker "As warm, funny, and self-deprecating as Keaton's onscreen persona--[ Then Again ] traces a profound dramatic arc: that of a young woman coming into her own as an artist, and of a daughter becoming a mother." -- Vogue "Both heartbreaking and joyful, [ Then Again ] covers the gamut of life experiences facing all women." -- Chicago Sun-Times, "Behind the sterling movie credits and tomboyish wardrobe, we see a soulful and deep woman contemplating the narrative arc of her own life." -- Newsweek "Delicious writing . . . This book is like a dishy lunch with the movie star you thought you'd never be lucky enough to meet. . . . Diane Keaton is in a class by herself and this book is good for the soul." --Liz Smith, Chicago Tribune "She's talented, iconic, quirky . . . and wonderfully blunt. This is just a small sampling of the reasons we love Diane Keaton, and they all permeate the pages of her new memoir." --Elle "As disarming and personable as the actress herself." --The Huffington Post "Wise, witty, thoughtful, uplifting, the truth, unvarnished--and very funny." -- Toronto Star, Praise for Diane Keaton's Then Again "A far-reaching, heartbreaking, absolutely lucid book about mothers, daughters, childhood, aging, mortality, joyfulness, love, work and the search for self-knowledge." -- The New York Tim es "A poem about women living in one another's not uncomplicated memories . . .

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From Academy Award winner and bestselling author Diane Keaton comes a candid, hilarious, and deeply affecting look at beauty, aging, and the importance of staying true to yourself--no matter what anyone else thinks. Diane Keaton has spent a lifetime coloring outside the lines of the conventional notion of beauty. In Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty , she shares the wisdom she's accumulated through the years as a mother, daughter, actress, artist, and international style icon. This is a book only Diane Keaton could write--a smart and funny chronicle of the ups and downs of living and working in a world obsessed with beauty. In her one-of-a-kind voice, Keaton offers up a message of empowerment for anyone who's ever dreamed of kicking back against the "should"s and "supposed to"s that undermine our pursuit of beauty in all its forms. From a mortifying encounter with a makeup artist who tells her she needs to get her eyes fixed to an awkward excursion to Victoria's Secret with her teenage daughter, Keaton shares funny and not-so-funny moments from her life in and out of the public eye. For Diane Keaton, being beautiful starts with being true to who you are, and in this book she also offers self-knowing commentary on the bold personal choices she's made through the years: the wide-brimmed hats, outrageous shoes, and all-weather turtlenecks that have made her an inspiration to anyone who cherishes truly individual style--and catnip to paparazzi worldwide. She recounts her experiences with the many men in her life--including Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, and Sam Shepard--shows how our ideals of beauty change as we age, and explains why a life well lived may be the most beautiful thing of all. Wryly observant and as fiercely original as Diane Keaton herself, Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty is a head-turner of a book that holds up a mirror to our beauty obsessions--and encourages us to like what we see.

- l***c (22)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSo I got my package and it was broken. So I messaged the seller and sent pictures. I went thru the steps with Ebay. So I did what was supose to be done. So I contacted the seller again. They contacted ebay. So I can say the seller is doing the right thing and going to refund me. I do thank them for that. That shows me how fair they are to there customers and treat them right.
- 9***l (7)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseÍtem came as described. Fair value. There was three Shipment Exceptions through FedEx. Each time it said the barcode label was unreadable and replaced. That prolonged the arrival of the package by three days. Was that because of how it was packaged? Lastly, I spent twenty dollars for shipping but it didn’t come in a box. I feel that was too much given the risk. Risk brought on by the lack of privacy or shock protection. The board was just wrapped in eBay tape, plastic, and brown paper.LANDYACHTZ Skateboard w/ Hawgz Wheels & Bear Trucks Fiberglass? Steven Vera 36" (#305974056215)
