Inside Out (Disney Pixar: Big Golden Books)

Product Information

I think this is one of my favorite memoirs and I’m glad I made the choice to listen to the audiobook. I loved that it was narrated by Demi. For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight – or the headlines. My favorite line of the book is a toss up off the entire book I cant choose one line compared to another with out each the book wouldn’t make since so no I cant choose just one line in the entire book.

I wouldn't say I'm some big fan of Demi Moore. I grew up seeing her on-screen, I remember her striking eyes and unique voice. I knew she'd married Bruce Willis and had a few kids, that she went on to marry Ashton Kutcher and the tabloids couldn't get enough of their relationship, and of course I remember her Vanity Fair cover by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz.The entirety of her personality is depicted as responsive and reactive—responsive to the emotions with which she is presented and reactive to the circumstances which she encounters. For the most part I think she did open up about her life and to me it didn't feel like she was doing so to assign blame or anything. In my opinion she didn't demonize her ex-husbands but instead showed some of the good and bad parts of their time spent together. Now I do think though she was fairly vague about some of the things that might have led to her daughters and Bruce not speaking to her for a few years. That's really the only instance in which I felt there was more to the story that she wasn't willing to share. Demi admits to having kidney disease, alcohol, cocaine and prescription drug abuse, undergoing treatment for same, and a sexual assault at the young age of 15. You won't believe how that came about. I didn't make it a mission to read her memoir, but I borrowed the audiobook from the library and after listening to it, I am very happy I did.

Inside Out by Demi Moore | Goodreads

I was especially gripped by the last few chapters. I was honestly in tears and find myself tearing up even now as I remember some of the things she shared.Every experience may be an opportunity for either joy or sadness. But the film makes it look as if we are controlled by emotions, and it is circumstances which control us through our emotional responses to them. For me Demi ends the book on a positive note. There is still so much joy to look forward to. There is a sense of serenity. I wish her well. During her second pregnancy, big-bellied Demi posed for a nude cover photo for Vanity Fair magazine - a picture she thought was artistic and beautiful. The photo was roundly excoriated, however, and the scathing article that went with it made things even worse. Demi writes, "I was portrayed as selfish, egotistical, and pampered, and that being Mrs. Bruce Willis had gone to my head, swelling it unmercifully." There were assertions that Demi was catered to on the set of The Butcher's Wife (where the interview occurred) and that she was a prima donna surrounded by sycophants. Demi reports, "The article had a subtle negative impact on my career." Inside Out has many themes but one main theme is courage. Courage is used by not letting something take control of a person’s life. This is evident to the main character because he is stranded with Frosty and Stormy but would not let them control them and make him do anything he doesn’t want to do. This book is told from the point of view of Zach, the main character. The two gunmen, Alan and Joseph Mender, are also important characters. Alan and Joseph are unusual criminals, is that they are brothers who are about Zach’s age. The author uses mainly indirect characterization to describe everybody.
