Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to… par Kathy Griffin
I LOVE Kathy's memoir. It is so funny and full of great stories. Not only great personal stories and stories about never giving up one's dream, but great gossip stories about other people. I'm not even reading this book in chronological order. I just flip open to a page and read about ten pages that will have me laughing and tsk-tsking at the same time.
If you're a fan of Kathy Griffin's brand of humor, you'll definitely enjoy her book. But don't expect to be reading a transcript of one of her stand-up specials. This is a memoir, and, in being true to exploring the experiences that have brought her to where she is, it's not all celebrity trash-talking (although she does get that in there, too). Kathy is willing to talk about and tackle some of the less positive experiences she's had in her life and how those have helped to make her stronger and inspired her to become the woman, actress, and comedian that she is today. But don't be scared away by that - it's hilarious and it definitely left me with a new respect for someone I've been a fan of for years.… (plus d'informations)
Rather disappointing when compared to Kathy Griffin's memoir [book:Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin|6534932], which I adored. I found these stories to be a bit boring and shallow.
A quick fun read, no high-brow but more harmless fun. You've got to love it or leave it. Lovely gossip, if you like it.
