3.0 out of 5 stars Truth, lies, and the printed word!, 2 Jul 2004
By Fiona Jameson "You know what they say about p... (Norfolk, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was very interested to read this book, given the current controversy over the treatment that was received by Sam Hashimi/Samantha Kane. According to current reports they were miss diagnosed and rushed through transition at breakneck speed. Yet according to this book the author had longed for this transition from very early in their life. Indeed they chose to pay for private treatment to avoid the sometimes long delays associated with the NHS service at Charing Cross GIC.

As one of several biographies I have read including, My Story, Aprils Odyssey and Roberta Cowells story it helps build a picture. However on its own I believe it to be of dubious merit. Having travelled this road myself, one careful and thoughtful step at a time, I have strong reservations about Miss Kanes approach. That being said I wish her all the best no matter what she decides to do in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye watering, 10 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It tells the true story of Sam Hashishi, who emigrated to England from Iraq. Became a Multi-millionaire business tycoon, A husband and father, a Bankrupt, a convicted prisoner and eventually ended up in a Psychiatric hospital Later he began living as Samantha and endured a sex change operation and managed to begin a new life as a Woman. This book is very well written and is a must for anyone interested in transsexualism and/or how someone can make a fortune from nothing, go on to lose everything (money, freedom and sanity) only to bounce back and make another fortune.

4.0 out of 5 stars A total must read for Tramsgendered People, 28 Nov 1999
By A Customer
I have not only read this book cover to cover but I have also met the fabulous Samantha Kane herself at an event that we were both judging. This is the story of the once Sam Hashimi who built himself up in the world of hard business to provide his family with a millionaire lifestyle. He notoriously bid for Sheffield Wednesday FC only to be rejected at the last minute because he was an Arab. If you think this is discrimmination then you will not believe how he was treated by those in the business world when he decided to change his sex! This is an honest and frank biography that does not read like a fairytale. The bad times are bad and the good times are fabulous. One can only respect this lady for how she has lived and lost. She is a true fighter and a total inspiration to others that are considering the painful steps of changing sex. I am a real girl but I happen to work amongst TV's and some TS's and I recommend this book to all my customers as well as my friends. Congratulations Samantha on a fab book and an amazing life!
