Summary: 3 Stars
It a eassy and interesting book to read. Rosie is a good story teller, she make you care about the person in the book, make you want to know more about them. She relate funny and sad memories. It start good but become very confusing and very hard to believe but has life is strange sometime truth is more strange then movie and this time this story is very strange. The book left me wondering why to some questions I have. How come Melissa said she was pregnant, how could she make it beleive to Rosie. It's pretty hard to believe that Rosie had fall for all this, that story is very strange but surely can be true.Book Review: Strange and Disturbing
Summary: 2 Stars
I like Rosie O'Donnell so I should be inclined to be a little biased, I guess that is what makes it a two star rather than a one.
The parts of the book about her childhood and whatnot are fine, but the story about Stacie is just creepy. I felt very uncomfortable that Rosie could have gone through all of this and actually be sane herself. I usually ignore all the bad things about her but after reading this and seeing what she responded to, I'm sorry to say but, she has deeper issues than those that she publicly admits to.
The book mixes random parts of her life in with the story of Stacie. Maybe I missed the "big picture" about the Stacie story. I found it utterly disturbing and was not left with a pleasant feeling until the very last page of the book. Parker says something that seems to "wake up" Rosie which very might well have saved her sanity because she was inappropriately and irresponsibly wrapped up in something that she should not have been in. She had kids and a partner to confide in and instead confided in a sick person.
Otherwise, this is a very short and quick read. I read it in less than 3 hours one night and the text is very very large so don't be fooled by the page count.
Book Review: I will spare you the trouble of reading it
Summary: 2 Stars
O'Donnell is contacted by a woman suffering from multiple personality disorder who pretends to be an abused, pregnant teenager who was raped by a youth minister. O'Donnell deeply identifies with her, which makes you wonder if she was molested by someone in her church. She ferociously bonds with this woman, even when she finds out the girl doesn't exist and the real woman is someone like her now. She still corresponds with this woman. This story is woven between scattered memories of her mother. We all lose our mother sooner or later, and the ones who lost her sooner suffer more, but you shouldn't drag it through the rest of your life like a crutch. Still, O'Donnell became rich and famous and can now support that crutch in grand style. Those of us not rich and famous just have to snap out of it. And that's it. It's not a biography because the glimpses of her journey to fame are too brief and disconnected. It's a depressing book.Book Review: A bit disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
Rosie O'Donnell has chosen a fairly unique approach in writing this autobiography. Instead of giving a chronological account of her life, as most biographers would, she uses an internet relationship as the framework from which the rest of the story unfolds. Through this relationship we see how Rosie thinks and feels, the types of things she does, some of her dreams, we learn a bit about her children and also some of the things that have happened in her life. However, I found the path that her internet relationship took to be predictable, and the details of her "inner world" were too few to compensate for the lack of concrete facts and events that make up her life.I give her credit for writing this book entirely on her own, as so many celebrities use writers to help put their stories together. But had she taken a more conventional approach her story may have been a bit longer and more substantive.
