What is the author's style in Call Me Anna: The Autobiography of Patty Duke by Patty Duke?

The perspective of this book is important because this book is presented as an autobiography. The fact that Patty Duke wrote this book, along with a ghost writer, in the first person point of view and told her life story as she recalls it tells the reader that the subject is highly personal. Ms. Duke is using this book not only as an attempt to set the record straight, but as a way of dealing with a difficult past. With this book, Ms. Duke is also able to share her journey to self discovery and recovery in the face of mental illness. For this reason, the perspective of this book works well for the reader and for the themes that fill its pages.
