Brilliantly funny and revealing what drugs do to a person. ( )

It's dated and heavy on a rarified lifestyle. but Fisher is deadly funny. I'm glad she turned to memoir and essay: she is not strong on narrative. I appreciate her honesty, humor, and insight especially into addiction and self-image. ( )

Well fuck me. That was incredible. Who knew Carrie Fisher could write like that?

I adored this book. The characters are so human and relatable despite living in an almost completely unrelatable Hollywood fantasy land.

I can see lots of people not liking this book, the other reviews are certainly mixed. But, if you've ever been fucked up in the head and have ever found being a human and simple existing a baffling and troublesome experience then this is for you. It's all about being a mess and failing and getting help and struggling to get anywhere and accidentally succeeding, and it's so engrossing and moorish.

It's witty, sharp, insightful, uplifting and really nice and wonderfully encouraging. 6 stars, will read again. ( )

Surely a best seller only because of the famous author. Mildly entertaining; perhaps more appreciated by a younger reader than myself. Life angst is just foreign to me. ( )
