I was looking forward to reading this because I have always loved Diane Keaton as an actress and from what I knew about her, a sane and thoughtful human being. Her life story, however, is just not that interesting, at least what was written about in this book. The book is really a love letter to her mother and family. I still admire her but the family story is ho hum.
