I HIGHLY recommend reading it. It's a pretty easy read, I think. It gives you a lot to think about and relate to. (Or at least it does me!) I haven't heard about the controversy, but I am guessing it's because it's one of the most personal accounts she could have written about herself. It takes a certain type of person to be willing to put every detail of their personal life "out there" like that. But hey, it made her rich! Haha!

Hmm...would you be willing to put your most personal of details of your whole life in a book if you knew it would be a worldwide bestseller and you'd make millions?
