My Name Is Barbra

3.5*

That was a long read. I can't say I was a big Barbra Streisand fan before, but I knew she just had to divulge a few juicy secrets and some interesting insights and boy was I right. The man in her life are something that deserves a mention alone (Pierre Trudeau, Marlon Brando just to name a few). The most interesting bit however was the realisation of why is she considered to be so attractive and feminine. Robert Redford put it best: “Barbra???her femininity brings out the masculinity in a man, and her masculinity brings out a man???s femininity, vulnerability, romanticism, whatever you want to call it.”

I would give it 4-4.5*, but the book is quite repetitive (talking about the same issues over and over again) and she appears to be a bit too full of herself at times.
