Born with Teeth

The most touching parts of Born With Teeth are the ones with her children and her sister. The most interesting are the occasional insights into her acting career, stage and television both. Unfortunately the bulk of the book is coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, and failed relationships with men. The relationships are described with little affection, since they are told with hindsight of every red flag and failing. The book isn't completely linear, which is frustrating at times.

If you're considering this book as a Star Trek fan, you can skip ahead to around chapter 25. Her time on Voyager isn't described in great detail but it's reasonably satisfying. If you want anything related to Orange Is The New Black, tough luck because the book ends at least a decade before that series began.
