Review
I really enjoyed reading this book. Lea Michelle gives us a quick look into her life.

This is like most biographies. It's a mix of biography, recipes, fitness, food, and taking care of yourself. I found myself writing down some of the things Lea Michelle said as inspiration. I loved getting the peek into her life growing up. She shows how important her family is to her, and how she's made friends through the years.

I think my favorite parts of this book were the recipes and healthy/beauty parts. The food she makes looks absolutely yummy. I'm definitely going to be trying some of them. I also like that she gives ideas for spa days at home, and has a pretty great workout plan.

If you are a fan of Lea Michelle and want to know a little bit more about her inspirations, life, and daily regimens, Brunette Ambition is definitely a book to pick up. ( )

Sinceramente no tenía idea de que iba a hablar en este libro, pero igual me tiré a la pileta.

Creo que Lea Michele es una de las pocas actrices jóvenes "completas" que tienen los yanquis: es muy buena actriz (cuando puede) y una cantante excepcional (cuando Glee la deja entre tantas porquerias que cantan en el programa, que por cierto, también es una porquería hoy en día).Cuando conseguí "Brunette Ambition" (para pasar el rato, ver que onda, descansar el cerebro después de tanto trabajo con un poco de No-ficción insípida), buscaba una biografía al menos, pero me encontré con una excusa muuuuuy larga- y digo excusa en el sentido de defensa, pues lo único que se lee en este "Libro" son cosas del estilo: "Todos dicen que soy una diva pero no soy una diva" WTF?? A quién le importa?? y TAMBIÉN "O sea, no soy una diva porque me importan...eh... las cosas...eso, hay cosas que me importan" ; o No importa que digan que soy una diva Entonces para que escribís un libro diciendo que no te importa??

En fin, hay otras cosas además de este "alegato" , anécdotas breves sobre sus amistades y boludeces del estilo pero... no pude sacudirme de encima estas explicaciones que no sirven más que para probar eso que ella esta negando. ¿Cómo dice el dicho? ¿No aclares que oscurece?

Antes de leer el libro, yo personalmente, no creía que ella fuese una diva (en el sentido negativo que ella le profiere a la palabra, o sea, alguien agrandado , creido, soberbio o lo que sea), ni tampoco me importaba que carajo dijeran quien carajo lo dijera. Uno es "fan" de alguien, o le "gusta" alguien por su trabajo , no tanto por su personalidad. No obstante ahora , gracias a este libro, he llegado a la conclusión de que, efectivamente, Lea Michele es un poco "diva".

Y me importa un joraca porque sigue cantando bien y me interesa saber en que va a trabajar después de Glee. ( )

It's hard to write an autobiography when you are still in your 20s. This book was filled with recipes, makeover tips, workout advice, and other how-to things. Want to know Lea's favorite stores and favorite brands? It's in here.

Obviously I am not the target market for this book. I got my copy for free from a giveaway from Bibliophile. I like biographies and autobiographies, but this wasn't quite that. You could probably get most of what she covered in this book by checking her website or IMDB or whatever.

I'd say the audience for this is Glee fans and YA readers. ( )

I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review. I mainly got it because I thought my daughter would enjoy the book, since it talks a lot about Lea’s Broadway career. It pretty much lived up to the expectations I had of it, which were not huge. Lea seems to have a pretty solid head on her shoulders, and the book is full of mostly-good advice. You get the definite picture, though, that her life is not like those in the “real world”, so not everything she advises can really be put in to practice by the Average Joan. Still, there are some good tips and tricks that a young adult can apply to their daily lives, and it’s an interesting look into hers. It was a little less “meaty” than it could be perhaps. It’s definitely written for the young adult crowd. Not a bad book to sit and read in the school pick-up line.

Would I recommend this to my BFF? No.
Would I recommend this to my teen? Sure. I’m planning on letting her have the book.

3.5 of 5 stars. ( )

Very Inspiring! Lea Michele really opened up to her personal life, her tips and tricks for staying healthy and beautiful and her love for the broadway stage and the big screen. ( )
