Title: STILL seeking her voice
Product review: I positively anticipated the insights that Diane Rehm might have for me regarding the speech disorder, Spasmodic Dysphonia, one I share with her and which frustrates me every day.The beginning of her life's story is mildly engaging; only "mildly" because her telling of it lacks the insight and perspective necessary to create a truly compelling memoir. I continued reading, hoping that all this set-up may be leading to something enlightening.As her life progresses on the pages, it becomes less and less intriguing, and I began to wonder when she was going to address Spasmodic Dysphonia (the apparent "hook" of the book, according to the dust jacket). Well, all you get is a skimpy relating of her condition near the end of the book, with a startling lack of examination from the author as to how the events leading up to this climax are related to the disorder itself.Very disappointing. Little more than celebrity autobiography, and not outstanding in that context, either.
