Love, Pamela: A Memoir

Disappointing. I thought since Pamela stopped wearing makeup this book would be more enlightened. Signing a son up for the Playboy club? Not a great thing.I kept waiting to hear about regrets, but no. I am glad she stopped picking loser husbands. Some of her rambling about famous people she has met comes across as name dropping. So what!Describing the Playboy mansion as a protective environment in this day and age is unreal. She was used by men that is for sure. Hopefully she wakes up to that fact.

Starts out great, humble & very hilarious but turns narcissistic. She diminishes herself by constantly name-dropping & she does some bragging which is in stark contrast to the first 1/3 of the book. Bragging & narcissism are always an instant turn-off for me. I enjoyed the descriptions of her childhood Canada & her time in France. I appreciated her humanitarian efforts. The thing that really struck me was this: how could someone who is this well-read make such bad personal decisions? It made me question the entire story & it's credibility.

What a wonderful read. She is smart and she can tell a riveting and sometimes sad story. I truly admire her. She deserves to be happy! You go girl!!

Love, Pamela is a 2023 memoir written by actress and model Pamela Anderson. It started as a book of poetry and turned into a memoir in which she talks about her evolution from a shy tomboy to the most famous pinup girl of the 1990s, who was the most popular character on the most watched show of the 1990s. In it, she details her life growing up in small Canadian towns, her discovery at a football game, which led to the start of her modeling career and led to her becoming the most famous Playboy Playmate in history, breaking into acting, and her complicated personal life that was constantly bombarded by paparazzi.The hardcover version of the book is relatively short at 240 pages and is a fairly quick read. Anderson does not hold a lot back in the book. She focuses on the behind-the-scenes aspects of her personal life more than her acting career (e.g., her time on Baywatch). Not that she does not discuss things people mostly know about, but she focuses more on things that were more private before she wrote this book. Ultimately, the book is an interesting read. Even though it is short, she discusses a lot about her life, and you can tell that there is a lot more to her than what some of her acting roles would suggest. It is not what I would call a must-read book, but if you grew up when she was massively popular, it is worth reading.

Great writing! I loved the stories she shared, as well as all the other juicy parts of her life. Wild times, for sure! I also loved the way she wove her poetry into her book. I do wish Pamela had included some pictures in her book. I'm sure she must have some innocuous pictures! I did like the full layout, on the inside of the back cover. Beautiful! I bought the book Pamela Anderson In Pictures, years ago! I recommend that book too.It took me a good long while to read this book. It was so good, I didn't want to finish it! I took my time reading it.I'm 59 and never had a wild life, or anything remotely similar to Pamela's party days, when I was younger. But I loved living vicariously through her crazy times! And she had many.She did a fabulous job rearing her sons. That was obvious, years ago, seeing them out with her. How they behave, how they act and carry themselves. Sure, we all raise a little hell and have fun, but you can tell, these two are well rounded adults. Both, very good looking adults - just like their parents.My only corrections with this book are: Page 121: Only females can give birth. Page 124: Only females can become pregnant. Stop this foolish verbiage!This was a wonderful book! Highly recommend.

I was a teenager when Pamela Anderson was in her heyday, and since I was young and a bit stupid, I believed what the media told me to believe about her. But as I got older, I realized the media was very, very wrong and I was excited to read her own words about everything. This is such a moving and worthwhile read and am grateful that Anderson shared her side with the world.

What a great memoir! So vulnerable and poignant. I am so glad to see that Pamela is finally being taken seriously and coming into the well deserved spotlight of respect. Why do we hold women accountable for things they did or things that happened when they were young for the nect 30 years yet men are mostly allowed to skate and made infamous?

Pamela is great with words and her way of bringing up books read/poetry/movies is so amazing! This book was a very quick read and I learned so much more about her! I was a young man that was porn crazed during her Baywatch days, and I remember the Tommy and Pam days too. I had no idea how much wisdom I would gain from her and I love how she writes! Can’t wait to see her new movie in a few days!

My 19yo daughter borrowed this from the library and loved it so much she wanted me to buy it for her for Christmas. She is now a big Pamela Anderson fan.

Overall, this book was very well written, I couldn’t put it down.A little backstory, I’m in my 30s and started reading books again. I loved this book and it was a perfect way to light the fire of reading. Would highly recommend.

I really like Pam and a lot of the things she has stood for overtime (particularly animal welfare). This read like a diary of her life, and gave a lot of insight into her traumas. Definitely a little unhinged at points and was kind of all over the place with the thoughts and flow. An easy read.

I had never known all that much about Pamela Anderson, other than the usual tabloid fodder. After reading and article in Better Homes & Gardens about her and learning of her memoir, I was intrigued. After reading this book I have not only a new respect for Pamela but she gave me hope to keep plugging away - reaching, searching, and living - just being. This was a wonderful look into a humble woman hugely misunderstood but thriving - all on her own terms. Great Read.

The media could not be loaded.

The plus is the Dusk jacket, exterior photo is stunning. BUT to my surprise when opened, it reveals a gorgeous full length sensual pose of Pamela. Never seen this on any books, it's a stroke of artistic genius. As for the actual book it was a real page turner about 2/3rds through. Then it lost the punch. Yes as others have noted, and I agree, she feels it necessary to name drop her book list in ways that seem not to encourage others to read, but impress upon that She read them. I think she’s a bit gullible on her Activism, especially Green New Deal endeavors. Suggest read the book, Green Fraud: Why The New Green Dealis Even Worse Than You Think by Marc Morano. I understand she’s trying to use her fame for bigger issues and I applaud this, but more scrutiny needed. Last she really makes some Dumb choices, I mean a lot of them. I’m shaking my head with yet another, thinking not again. Her marriages on a whim are disappointing as it diminishes the sanctity of Love and Commitment instead became a Media Performance Circus. After reading this, and Britney Spears book (very good) I’m so grateful not to have a trail such as either of these "Stars". A simple life is a Blessing, not Hollywood. That's a place to loose one's soul...

A good inside of who Pamela Anderson really is, once you get past the beautiful face and body. I’ve never really knew much about her other than her love for bad boys, and her sex symbol status. I don’t read biographies very often, but this is a good one. I’m glad I read it because it brought Pamela into another light. Amazing to see how truly, innocent, humble, strong, intelligent, and talented, she really was and is .. not to mention she proves in this book that nothing else mattered when it came to raising her sons. God bless, I just wish I would’ve read that while she is open to broaden her horizons, she never took the opportunity to put her faith and trust in God .. but in her life, she proves that this is yet to come.

Honestly, I went into this book with quite a bit of prejudice, thinking I'd find more of a rock and roll tell-all that I could quickly read as a distraction. But Ms. Anderson had much to teach me. Throughout my adult life, I didn't think much of her beyond her iconic status as a sex symbol. To discover that underneath all of that, there lies an actual human being, not only determined to make the best out of her life, but to make other lives better as well. Not that it matters to her, nor should it, but I have true respect for her.The book itself is well written, with good flow. The use of her own poetry worked to me for the most part, especially when it served to provide much deeper insight into what's truly in her heart. However, I could have done without the poems that go on for pages.The bottom line is that it is an enjoyable read, except for the accounts of her difficult childhood. That information is really necessary to understand how she became the person she is, but it's not "enjoyable." It's painful, as much of her story is. But she perseveres and continues to learn and educate herself throughout her life.Though she may look the part, she is no stereotypical "dumb blonde," which is a very offensive characterization that many beautiful, blonde women are still saddled with in the present day. On the contrary, her curiosity and the joy she gets from learning indicate that she is significantly more intelligent than many people, including myself, would ever imagine.

I've always loved Pamela. She is an extremely intelligent woman who Hollywood treated poorly, took advantage of and portrayed her as a "dumb blonde" She is far from it and this book showcases her authentic self. I'm so happy that she was able to share her story and her truth. I read the book and then watched the documentary which I must say are very similar and why I suggest reading the book first, She wrote the book on her own, not ghost writer, no one helping her. This book is written from the heart. It's typical Pamela, loving, silly, down to earth and unfortunately sad at times. I was shocked at her humble beginnings which has clearly been a factor in keeping her grounded, loving and humble in her own right. She found her voice in this book. A hopeless romantic who just wants to been seen and loved for who she is, a great mom, loving daughter, devoted friend and incredibly hard worker. I don't want to give too much away because this is a book worth reading. I believe it will change the negative opinion some may have of her (unfounded by the way). I'm so happy she found her voice.SHE'S BACK!!

I honestly have to say I’m blown away after reading Love, Pamela. Like most people my perception of Pamela Anderson was shaped by the media. I’ve always felt there was more to her than just a beautiful face & body, but I never realized she is incredibly intelligent, articulate, empathetic, an amazing mother, & above all courageous! I’ve known for years her deep love for supporting worthy causes, but I never realized how much she’s done to support those causes. There are really very few who have used their “celebrity” to actually make a difference in the lives of others especially animals who don’t have a voice! Bravo, Pamela, you’ve proven you are so much more than Hollywood & the media allowed the world to see! You’ve raised two amazing humans who aren’t typical Hollywood entitled brats. Brandon & Dylan will make incredible careers for themselves, but most importantly they will make the world a better place because you’ve instilled compassion & empathy into them by your example & teachings! Keep living your truth & growing from all your experiences…yes even the unpleasant ones! You possess a truly beautiful soul!

This book feels very much like a companion piece to the Netflix movie. It’s surprisingly short, it’s clearly not ghost written based on how non linear it can be, but it’s Pamela’s story in her own words. It’s not a huge Hollywood tell all, aside from Tommy Lee she doesn’t really get too into her relationships, but part of her story is her not wanting to be defined by the men in her life so it makes senses. She talks about Julian Assange more than men she married.Is it the best read in the world? No. It’s simple and at times oddly paced with poetry interspersed throughout. It does feel pretty candid and honest though.For real though, you’re not gonna hear much about Kid Rock or Scott Baio or sexiness at the Playboy Mansion. It’s not that book and she’s not those people’s biographer. Which is kind of cool honestly. I get why people are bored since I’m sure she’s got a thousand amazing stories about other people that are pretty salacious, but she doesn’t owe us that. We owe her to respect what she’s chosen to share.So yeah I didn’t love this book in that I wanted more, but then I realized that sadly everyone just wants more from her.

Pamela has her own unique style and this bio reflects that. I read it in one day because I couldn't put it down.I've always liked Pam for her warmth, silliness, love for animals and basic human decency, but I didn't know that much about her personally except her Playboy affiliation and "the tape". I never watched Baywatch or VIP.I had no idea she had such trauma as a child or that she wasn't set for life financially after doing Baywatch. I was also surprised at the quick way she jumps into marriages.It would be nice to get another book from Pam. We need more details, more stories, her impressions and experiences with other celebs, her various in-laws. She glosses over her marriages when the reader would like to know exactly what happened. We want to know all the juicy details. Spill the tea, girl.BTW, Barb Wire is campy, but Pamela makes it entertaining. It's worth watching because of her performance and I'm extremely critical of films since I'm a screenwriter.

I was so looking forward to this book and it did not disappoint. "Love, Pamela" is a fantastic read that takes the reader on a journey through the life of a pop culture icon. Pamela tells her truth in a way that is raw, honest, and empowering. Throughout the book, Pamela shares her experiences and reflects on the ups and downs of her life and career, giving readers a glimpse into the person behind the public persona. Her writing style is engaging and captivating, drawing the reader in and keeping them hooked until the very end. The book is a testament to the power of telling one's own story and owning one's truth. Overall, "Love, Pamela" is a must-read for anyone interested in pop culture, personal growth, and the journey of self-discovery.
