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. . . .
