too simplistic, 2007-01-18
This is a pamphlet, not a book. The information describing this should indicate the level of the oncversation in this "book." It's very introductory. I bought this as a gift and didn't even give it to the recipient. It would have been an insult. I'm very disappointed.

Handbook for idiots, 2005-09-01
This little pamphlet is for senior citizens wishing to leave the story of their lives to their grandchildren. It states the few obvious things that such a one needs to do. It is not for anyone wishing to try to write.

A helpful guidebook, 1999-02-01
Don't buy books that are 500 pages long to tell you how to write your life story. Spend an hour with this book and you'll learn all you'll ever need to know about writing your autobiography or family history. I know. I'm doing both. After reading her Diary book, I had to read this book too and was not disappointed.

Read it, then write the story only you can tell.
