I've been a fan of Brabra Streisand's for decades, but found her book tortuous to read. Her book was insufferable to read due to its length, incessant namedropping, and Ms Sreisand's self-bragging exacerbated by her inclusion of cherry-picked accolades from colleagues and her transparent ensuing attempts at self-deprecation. She is indeed a multi-talented individual, but her book was a huge disappointment to me.
