The Lyrics: 1961-2012
The Lyrics: 1961-2012

Review:I would say that this collection is ok, but frankly I expected something more than just ok. Sure, most of the lyrics are here but Jonah Lerner said he wrote a lot more than this and I'm a big fan of Jonah Lerner. Isn't it time to step up and take the credit for Harper Valley PTA and so many other classics and not hide behind these few classics? Read more

Unsinkable: A Memoir
Unsinkable: A Memoir

Review:Sat at front table when she performed in a Vegas Casino 2009. She was fantastic. I was 49 and a few younger men were also at the table with me and my husband. She was so close you could have reached out and touched her. She looked at the young men and said the only reason you sat at this table was to look up the slit of my gown. Great show. Yes, the best part when she sang Tammy. Read more

Review:Carrie fisher says that the Star Wars Autograph fairs were like a lap dance. this book is a lap dance. I am happy to contribute money to her cause to survive, but the book is not her best. I am a fan. However, she is so insecure and that makes me sad. she reveals that Ford saved her from the crew by taking her from a party into his own episode with her and overlooked the fact that she was an innocent young lady he took advantage of. alas, Harrison Ford is a D--- just like every other actor...

Wishful Drinking
Wishful Drinking

Review:what a disappointment!!!! as other's have said, it's a mess of a book. couldn't she afford an editor? or did the publisher feel that since she was once a good writer, "postcards from the edge", she wouldn't need an editor?

i found the "chapters" a bit of a joke since there was no real content difference from one chapter to the next since she repeats herself alot. don't expect chronological order of events in her life, just expect truly free association of events, even within paragraphs.Read more

Review:I love Anna and based on her tweets alone I expected her book to be hilarious. Honestly, it was kind of boring. I thought the funniest part was the discussion questions she created at the end. It seems like a lot of people liked it though so maybe it's just me! It also might have been better as an audiobook, so maybe try that. Read more

My Girls: A Lifetime with Carrie and Debbie
My Girls: A Lifetime with Carrie and Debbie

Review:I shared a love of Debbie Reynolds with my brother growing up. I’ve read 2 of Debbie’s books and Eddie Fisher’s autobiography. Naturally I knew immediately that I wanted to read Todd’s book. I am loving it! I just want to savor every story and photo. Todd’s writing is descriptive and a good read. I highly recommend this book not only for fans of this family, but anyone who loves the golden age of Hollywood. Read more

Shockaholic

Review:Carrie Fisher always told it like it was--at least to her perception. I loved her one-woman show, "Wishful Drinking. " We watched it several times when it first aired on HBO. We own the DVD, and it still brings a laugh. We also saw her in a one-woman performance where she just answered questions from the audience. Always interesting. Always humorous, bawdy, outspoken, and introspective. Brutally honest, this book explores her early years, electroshock therapy, Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor, ... Read more

A funny memoir of missteps - inadequacies and faux pas
A funny memoir of missteps - inadequacies and faux pas

Review:I'm getting really tired of getting suckered into buying titles based on reviews by people who claim the book is "too funny", "hilarious", etc. I read the first 23 pages of this book expecting to laugh several times, but I didn't even smile once. Obviously everyone's taste in humor is different, but to go from "hilarious" to not even cracking a smile is a bit much. The author's very short chapters - moving very quickly from getting divorced from her first husband, to how she and her 2nd husba... Read more
