The same basic material as the show, but I think it came across better when done live. A thin, fast read. ( )

I actually enjoyed reading this book. I found it to be very interesting and quite funny at times. I esp, liked the pictures . I could never have imagined all the stuff she went through. I guess being famous(having famous parents)and money isn't everything. ( )

great soundbites, but fails short as an autobio. ( )

I liked her novels. Didn't think much of this. ( )

Short, entertaining, and scattered, this is a great read. Fisher recounts vivid anecdotes from her Hollywood childhood, her drug-ridden young adulthood, and her life with bipolar disorder. It's fascinating stuff, due in equal parts to her chatty, confessional style, and her acerbic willingness to say anything about anyone. Witness her account of her father's infidelity with Elizabeth Taylor: " [...] naturally, my father flew to Elizabeth's side, gradually making his way slowly to her front. He first dried her eyes with his handkerchief, then he consoled her with flowers, and he ultimately consoled her with his penis."
Enough said. ( )
