Such a dishin hot book November 29, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I loved this book. It was full of life and dished a lot about things that were close to her heart...she shared a part of her heart fans can't see just looking from a far. I could relate...after all we are ALL human and we all have these type of things come up in our lives just not so wordly known. Read the book and you'll see all you never could.
She's so normal.... November 27, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was a great book. I never knew the 'other' side of Tori. I never pictured her to be so down to earth and 'normal'. She is not into fame like she is perceived. I never really like her on 90210, but after watching her reality show and reading this book, I see her being the typical girl next door. I would recommend this book to all women.
A surprisingly delightful read... November 26, 2008 I purchased this book for my Kindle on a whim in an airport. I was neither a Tori Spelling fan - nor a Tori Spelling hater - and although I used to watch 90210 years ago and caught a few episodes of Tori and Dean: Inn Love, I honestly can't say I would have ever thought about Tori Spelling again except that this book popped up on the Kindle list, and I was in a rush to get on the plane and buy a book to read during the flight.
And yet when I started reading this book, I quickly became intrigued by this delightfully refreshing story about the real life of someone we thought we "knew" from endless magazine articles and TMZ clips, but who is actually quite different. This book clearly shows that not everything is at it appears; that money alone cannot buy happiness; that celebrities struggle with many of the same issues we "regular" people do; and that life can be complicated whether you live in Beverly Hills or Beverly, Massachusetts.
The writing style is very conversational and easy to read, and Tori is humorous, self-reflective, honest (even when it doesn't paint her in a good light) and humble. She does not point fingers at others (like her mom) without also recognizing her own faults and mistakes. I honestly can't say I have ever read another autobiography that seemed so real and balanced.
I read the book very quickly and was so glad that I happened upon this little find. It is not a great work of literature, but it certainly was a pleasure to read on my trip, and I leave the book feeling like I have a better understanding of the story behind Tori, and a better attitude towards the "rich and famous," whose lives are probably not as perfect as they seem from the outside.
stori telling November 26, 2008 easy reading but enjoyable. had some good insights that i can use in my uwn life.
an easy 4 hour read November 25, 2008 you can read this book in 4 hours...so...get it from the library, or used for 35 cents!
my only comment: i found it interesting that she discussed her nose job several times, but didn't mention a thing about those huge monstrous [sp?] b**bs of hers. how could she leave that out??
