Customer Reviews of Look at My Ugly Face: Myths and Musings on Beauty

Poor ratings are only due to misunderstanding...or perhaps disagreement
This book was good, and as other complained that it was whining or it didn't give them the answers they were looking for, they didn't understand the point. Halprin helps you question things about yourself and helps you understand others as she tells you her personal stories and life changing experiences. She will introduce you to people and ideas that help you understand where other women are coming from. She did a good job of covering many different bases whether it be race, ugliness from scars or feeling that beauty was a burden. <

>Basically, if you are looking to find out more about who you are by someone helping you figure out what questions to ask, get this book. For the price of a movie, you are giving yourself some knowledge, I think it's good and I am hoping to have other women in my life read it. <

This book is unreadable
Halprin rambles on and on and on making little sense, only rarely discussing her topic. The entire thing is one long whine. Nothing is said as what actually constitutes beauty except from a feminist viewpoint, which is unintelligible.

So-called beauty
Thought provoking.Halprin examines the issue of beauty through the context of fairy tales.That which epitomizes conventional standards of beauty (subjective as that is to begin with) creates its own contained cocoon of problems which eventually seep stickyly onto unwarranted surfaces and spaces.Halprin's ideas need discussion and development but they helped to shape my outlook.
