Very enlightening

Although some doubts cast about the authenticity in the introduction of the sequel, In My Own Words, it is still very enlightening of Evita's thoughts, philosophies, and passions in life.

evita saint or sinner ... saint

Eva Peron was a remarkable woman and had so many tallents and now we have just learned another one of those talents, wrighting. I think this book was remarkable and it sounds very personal. It makes me believe more that she cared for the poor people of her country. She may have made people believe that she was just a slut and married Juan Peron for the fame and welth but i don't believe that i believe Eva Peron was a saint "SANTA EVITA"

Gives good insight into Evita's inner life.

This book provides the emotional component that all other books about Evita lack. Yes, all the other books can give you endless detail about Eva's life, but none leave you feeling like you've just met Evita. For an insight into what went on in the heart and mind of this incredible woman, I highly recommend this book!

What a marvelous book!

I really enjoyed Eva Peron's message in "In My Own Words." I'm currently doing a research paper on Evita for my English class, and this has, by far, been the book that has given me great insight on her short life. Reading biography after biography, you only come away with what others have said about her and this is truly her own words, thoughts and feelings. I was especially surprised by the amount of... I guess respect and honor she had for her husband. Not many people nowadays can say that about their spouse. Juan Peron was lucky to have such an asset in his wife. Eva Peron was a living legend in her day. I'm so fascinated by her life and times. This book is absoultely wonderful and telling. I couldn't put it down. I loved it. Sarah Brownlow

An very interesting book, which makes al lot clear to me.

I judge the book "In My Own Words" very interesting andI like it very much. As I am from the Netherlands, I read it in Dutch. In this book (In mijn eigen woorden: Evita) was said that Evita probably did not write this book, but someone else. I wonder if this is true. Yet, the book gives me an idea about Evita's thoughts and her admiration for her husband. Yours sincerely, Freya Nijinski
