(  )jooly2 | Sep 21, 2008 | A great read that made me laugh out loud several times. The narrative of Jancee's life is interspersed with brief descriptions of interviewing celebrities, which helps keep the pace snappy. Near the end, her narrative seems to flag a bit, as if she was unsure how to end it, but overall it was a good book. (  )shoesonwrong | Sep 4, 2008 | Fun, breezy reading. Carefully written not to offend anybody & to present the author's view of herself. franoscar | Aug 11, 2007 | I'm really glad Jancee wrote this book. I like the way it was set up with vignettes from celebrity interviews in between chapters from her life. I can identify with the author since we are closer in age and feel the same reverence for the same celebrities. The only thing I didn't enjoy was that it seemed that the book was moving in chronological order, but I guess perhaps not because there was some confusion over whether she left Rolling Stone or not-- maybe I missed something, but it seemed that the order of things got jumbled, leaving me to imagine (without knowing this for sure or not) that the memoir is probably built from several articles written previously.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060843659, Paperback)New Jersey in the 1980s had everything Jancee Dunn wanted: trips down the shore, Bruce Springsteen, a tantalizing array of malls. To music lover Jancee, New York City was a foreign country. So it was with bleak expectations that she submitted her résumé to Rolling Stone magazine. And before she knew it, she was backstage and behind the scenes with the most famous people in the world—hiking in Canada with Brad Pitt, snacking on Velveeta with Dolly Parton, dancing drunkenly onstage with the Beastie Boys—trading her good-girl suburban past for late nights, hipster guys, and the booze-soaked rock 'n' roll life. Riotously funny and tremendously touching, But Enough About Me is the amazing true story of an outsider who couldn't quite bring herself to become an insider.
