A Lotus Grows In The Mud by Goldie Hawn, Wendy Holden (2005, Abridged, Compact Disc)

I did not like the book as it was disapppointing. I thought Goldie Hawn did not have enough interesting life experiences to warrent writing a book; i.e., happy childhood, happy marriages till they grew apart, birth of babies, movie roles not exceptional tales. Style of writing; i.e., preaching life's lessions, presumious. Bought the book becasue two girlfriends liked it. So much for that.

Wonderful book on cd., one of the best stories I have listened to. Goldie Hawn read this cd. with so much expression and compassion. One you could listen to over and over again.

I loved this book. She shares so many wonderful stories of her childhood and personal experiences. Her love for her family runs deep. I've enjoyed the inside look at Goldie Hawn. Very well written!

I love Goldie hawn I enjoy reading A Lotus Grows in the Mud Book and A Lotus Grows in the Mud audiobook :) I love it and cant wait to listen 2 goldie again and cant wait to read her book again :D xxxxxxx

This (audio) book wasn't for me, which isn't to say that you may not like it, though.....
I didn't care for Goldie reading it herself; her often too-emotive voice was distracting.
I know that she collaborated with Wendy Holden for this book, so I'm not sure exactly whom to 'blame' for the writing, but it is very forced and predictable.
If you're into Goldie's seemingly hippie-style stream of consciousness spirituality, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK.
If you're looking for a Hollywood gossip-fest tale, you will not. There is very little revealed in the way of other movie stars, etc. For instance, I was curious about her marriages and family, and very little time is spent on that.
This book focuses more on Goldie HERSELF, so if you're a HUGE fan, then give it a try.
