I think Diane Keaton has written a superb book. I could not put it down. I thank her for sharing her thoughts and her Mother's journals. It has refreshing to read about someone who has loved and been loved so well. Happy to have read it, Sara

Relatable on so many levels. Heartfelt and written with love!

Here I sit after reading Diane Keaton's "memoir" Depressing. To those of us struggling with our parents struggles with old age, dying, and leaving us "kids" with unanswered questions about us.Where does the selfishness end? Now we have our own children to burden with our feelings about life and what it means. Back off Baby Boomers! I am 56 one son married 34 years a dad who died in 1992 and a mom is is 89 and fading fast.Thank you Diane for pointing out our generation has contributed nothing to the future except the fact that given too much people will always disappoint......

Then Again is a beautiful Journey through Diane Keaton's life, told through the interweaving of her memories and those lifted from her mother's tattered journals. Her story is as ordinary as it is remarkable. But it is the juxtaposition of mother and daughter, both searching to be and express themselves, whether in words, pictures, or moving pictures that resonated with me as a woman, mother, and daughter. A fun and touching story of love for a mother, a daughter and motherhood. I wear my boxy jackets and Annie Hall hats with even more pride than before.

This book had so much to it. So many significant layers to ms. Keaton. So much depth and honest care and weaving to her family. I enjoyed the way i thought while reading. Very relective. Extremely humble.

Perhaps I was expecting too much from Diane Keaton. For me the best description of her memoir, Then Again, is tedious. I had to listen to Ms. Keaton read her mother's journal, listing all her daily activities, from I brushed my teeth with hydrogen peroxide to I washed my hair with Pantene and conditioned it with Silkience. Granted, Diane Keaton's mother played a pivotal role in her development but I think the story could have been written in a more dynamic way. After five and half hours of listening, and learning little about Ms. Keaton other than she is closely bonded with her family, I gave up.

Then again... Very relaxing read. Would like to hear the gentle tinkling of an upright piano as I flip the pages - kind of like one ex- periences when watching that movie, Mr. Hulot's Holiday. Not at all like Stephen King!!!

A great story of an amazing actress.

Diane Keaton does a sweet, if not memorable job to the remembrance of her mother. A mother that had such a deep impact in a positive way, but could not see how transforming and monumental her contribution was to Keaton and her three siblings. As Keaton climbs the ladder to fame, she never looses sight of a mother that laid the groundwork for her own eccentricities that are stretched back to the maternal forces of her grandmothers, as well. "Then Again" makes mention of Keaton's relationships and dalliances with her leading men - Woody, Al Pacino and Warren Beatty. She describes one of her last movies with Jack Nicholson as her favorite, yet in Diane's soul and being her mother in her own right remains in the forefront. This book was refreshing, we as women can never hear, feel or see too much of our cultivation and impact we have on the next generation. I would recommend this book to anyone who recognizes the importance of family, and appreciates how someone like Diane Keaton never lost sights of her roots and inspiration.
