Review: Untwisted: The Story of My Life
Gaby Meares
Paul Jennings is no stranger to storytelling, having written over one hundred stories and sold over ten million books since publishing his first book in 1985. He confesses, however, that telling his own story proved to be harder than he expected. He is sensitive to the feelings of people who played a part in his life-story, and obviously skims over some difficult times, particularly in regard to his marriages.
Some of the most interesting chapters were in relation to his writing process, and he generously shares some of his knowledge for budding authors reading his book.
Untwisted is an easy read, and contains nothing that makes it unsuitable for younger readers. Jennings is honest about his short-comings, and obviously found writing his memoir cathartic.
Highly recommended.
