Must read! Deeply personal and engaging message of hope Tracy Herrick Babylon Confidential is an incredible story of hope that grabbed me by the heart strings almost from the first page. Moments of gut-wrenching loss, both in Claudia's childhood and adult life are described in such vivid detail that I couldn't help but cry. At other times, I just couldn't stop laughing. Most of her fans, like me, have already experienced Claudia's amazing talent for spinning a funny story, with her excellent sense of comedic timing and her flare for unique and sometimes shockingly creative analogies. This book has plenty of that.It gives rare insight into the lives and personalities of people who are no long. Not impressed. J. BLANCO Oh Claudia, what problems you managed to get yourself into. I was a bit dissapointed with this book. First off, she has definitely had a rough life. But frankly, a lot of the reasons for her rough life was based on her making very bad decisions. Maybe she didn't have the right people to count on, I don't know. Overall, the book started off great but about halfway, it was just one bad decision after another that eventually caused her all her problems. I'm very glad to finally read that she is in a much better place. The book however, was meh at best.. I thoroughly enjoyed this very personal and revealing read Jim I thoroughly enjoyed this very personal and revealing read. Takes a lot of guts to reveal what Ms. (?) Christian has gone through in her life. There are many signs and things to watch for in our lives and she has circled a lot of them for us. Highly, one of those 'recommend' reads.
