Story
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. Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past, just one step ahead of the doubts and insecurities that defined her childhood. Inside Out is a story of survival, success, and surrender - a wrenchingly honest portrayal of one woman’s at once ordinary and iconic life.

It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Summary
New York Times Bestseller
Fame. Sex. Pain. Drugs. Death. Booze. Money. Addiction. Redemption. Dizzying heights. Rock-bottom depths. Desperation and elation - sometimes in the same hour. Not to mention power...and the struggle for it.
The world knows Lamar Odom as a two-time NBA world champion who rocketed to uncharted heights of fame thanks to being a member of both the storied Los Angeles Lakers and the ubiquitous Kardashian empire.
But who is Lamar, really?
Fans have long praised his accessibility and genuine everyman quality - he is a blinding talent who has suffered a series of heartaches, setback, and loss. But until now, his most candid moments have remained behind closed doors...sometimes face-down on the floor.
In Darkness to Light, Lamar gives listeners an intimate look into his life like never before. His exclusive and revealing memoir recounts the highs and lows of fame and his struggle with his demons along the way to self-discovery and redemption. From the pain of his unraveled marriage to Khloé Kardashian to the harmful vices he used to cope - and the near-death experience that made him rethink everything about his life - this is Lamar as you have never before seen him.
Lamar brings basketball fans directly into the action of a game during the Lakers' championship years. He shares his personal account of the lifelong passion that started as one shining light in a childhood marked by loss and led to his international fame as one of the most extraordinary athletes of all time. In this profoundly honest book, Lamar invites you to walk with him through the good times and bad, while looking ahead to a brighter future.

Wow
The book itself was very insightful. I liked how descriptive he was in telling various memories of his life. The only negative is the narrator. He was a bit monotone. I always like the the author to read it themselves but at least someone who reads with expression. I was able to overlook the voice and enjoy the book nonetheless.

It was just ok. No real new revelations outside of what was already known and what the media had disclosed. To be honest... He just elaborated on what was public knowledge. Lamar left a lot out.

Geez what a terrible book!
I always thought Lamar Odom was a nice guy who fell on hard times based on the tiny bit I knew about him from tv / the media. This book pulled back the curtain and I was less than impressed by what I learned about him. He was terribly unlikeable, and is a product of his repeated horrible and selfish decisions. That coupled with an extremely boring narrator makes for a terrible book. I want my wasted hours back. Eek!

Book = Good, Person = Bad
For me it was just so disappointing to learn about his constantly repeated mistakes. How many times do you have to make the same mistake over and over again before you learn? Apparently a lot. The book was filled with excuses as to why his problems were because of someone or something else. The narration was inconsistent in speed, volume, and tonality throughout.

Lamar's story is not only heartbreaking but also inspiring. he has overcome a lot in his years here on earth. I'm glad he found a wonderful woman to have his kids by, that stood strong beside him regardless of his shortcomings. I'm rooting for you Lamar.
