    <body><![CDATA[I tried and tried to get beyond the first few pages, but I really dislike Gertrude Stein's writing.  She is repetitive for no aesthetic reason that I have been able to determine, egomaniacal, and her language is functional to the point of sounding robotic and disinclined to effort.

    <body><![CDATA[This is a strong intellectual and creative project, but I struggled to muster the energy to finish this.  Stein takes a unique approach to autobiography/memoir and ultimately plays with the question of identity by telling her life story through the story of her life partner Alice B. Toklas.  She als...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2866972">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A fast, enjoyable read, especially the first parts of how Alice Toklas and Gertrude Stein came to live in Paris. After that there were parts where it was mostly about the things Stein wrote and the people who came to see her, and given that it was Stein writing about Stein through the mouthpiece of ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78303449">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[She certainly dishes it out!  Reading this &quot;autobiography&quot; made me feel a bit dirty.  If you have friends like her, who needs enemies.  The tabloid feel though was great from a historical point of view to add a personality to many now famous artists and writers.  It is a challenging read; ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73973278">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was neat!! I really liked how it mentions Picasso and Matisse (I think?!), and all of those people connected with that whole movement. It was well-written, but in a new way. I read this book while taking an art history course, so it was very relevant to my life at the time. ]]></body>
