Roseanne tells about her early life growing up in Salt Lake City UT as a Jew where everyone else is a Mormon. The first two parts of the book were interesting in that it reads more like an autobiography. The final section where she talks more about her stand-up and going on to do comedy feels a bit disjointed and/or hurried in compared to the other parts of the book. I *really* wanted Roseanne's latest book, but this was all that was handy at the library. It wasn't bad - it was definitely a quick read, and entertaining - but it's a good example of a work from an artist unfamiliar with the medium. I genuinely could not tell when she was trying to be funny, or ironic, or sarcastic vs when she was just being kind of nuts. It made the whole thing a slightly uncomfortable read, and it really only picked up as she started to describe her early career - but then it moved into a essayish tone that clashed with the earlier memoir-esque pattern. I like Roseanne, and I'd love to see some of her standup from this era - I bet it comes across brilliantly on stage. As a memoir, this is not awesome (and the stray freeform New-Agey poetry was a bit more than I could bear) but it's not bad. I still want to read the new one. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Roseanne is the dramatic American saga, funny and true, of a woman who started with nothing, overcame great diversity, and with the strength of her convictions--and a brilliant wit--triumphed.#Harper & Row. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
