Praise for Dying of Politeness: ‘Candid, self-deprecating and
vastly entertaining…. Davis’s frank appraisal of her psychological
and physical merits, and demerits, is not only disarming, but
likely to strike a chord with many of her readers’ The Times, Peter
Sheridan ‘Her combination of humour and self-deprecation is
immediately appealing’ The Observer, BOOK OF THE DAY ‘A marvellous
memoir… an endearing and inspiring account of one “offbeat” woman
finding her own voice… I’m often bored by the second half of
celebrity memoirs, but Davis’s just keeps building momentum. It’s a
real-life feel-good movie, in which the downtrodden heroine finds
her power. She guards her privacy without ever getting pompous or
dull. If you want to know about the pimples on Brad Pitt’s bum,
then she’ll spill. If you want to know how she conceived her kids
at 47? Back off, that’s her business… I closed her book with the
firm conviction that she’s the celebrity I’d most like to hang out
with’ Daily Telegraph ‘Entertaining… After decades of silently
seething, Thelma & Louise star Geena Davis lifts the lid on
Hollywood sexism’ Daily Express ‘The book’s a blast… it really is a
supremely jolly read’ The Times, Polly Vernon 'Brilliant… read it
cover to cover. Absolutely awesome'
Chris Evans ‘Davis is truly inspiring, and her book is warm and
relatable’ Woman’s Weekly
