In My Shoes: A Memoir Review: A read I was not prepared for! - An unbelievable read that I was totally unprepared for. I tried to associate the catalogue of dramas unfolding with the images I had seen of Tamara Mellon over the years in the press, seemingly happy and carefree. The assumptions that I had made about her and her success have been completely blown out of the water. Right from the beginning pages I was thrown by the sheer honesty of the writing and her willingness to tell it like it was, a lost and broken soul from an early age, albeit from what appeared to be a privileged background. But she makes so clear, privilege and material comforts cannot prevent human suffering or be a substitute for a happy home life. All this even before Tamara's big idea! Surely I thought, building Jimmy Choo from nothing to a global giant, would somehow be a more straightforward story of hard work and reward, but not a bit of it. The plot thickened, as a relentless stream of obstacles to overcome headed her way, or maybe she was just wired to home in on them!! Her relationship with her mother, her new partner Jimmy another kind of pain and disappointment. But there was more to come in the shape of her controlling and abusive CEO, not to mention a series of "vulture" private equity partners. Phew! You just couldn't make it up. The contrast between the polished perception of Tamara Mellon and the real inside story, in her shoes, is simply staggering. After what seemed like being at war for most of her life, I was left uplifted and inspired, for what ultimately is a tale of triumph for the human spirit, from which we can all take hope. Well done Tamara - what a ride for this reader. Can't wait for the movie! WOW!!! Review: Lots of juicy gossip - This was a really cool look into the founding of one of the very first big luxury shoe brands. Lots of gossip, and insight into really just how bitter someone with business sense and money can be. My boyfriend doesn't like to read, but he really enjoyed this book. If you are a shoe lover, and a gossip lover, this one is for you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,421,775 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #169 in Fashion & Textile Business #1,216 in Fashion Design #1,444 in Biographies of Business & Industrial Professionals | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (496) | | Dimensions | 6.25 x 1 x 9.25 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1591846161 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1591846161 | | Item Weight | 1.15 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 288 pages | | Publication date | October 1, 2013 | | Publisher | Portfolio | ## Images ![In My Shoes: A Memoir - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TIglKux0L.jpg) ![In My Shoes: A Memoir - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31vGHsNlWRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A read I was not prepared for! *by A***Y on November 1, 2013* An unbelievable read that I was totally unprepared for.
