Parts of me were entertained and annoyed by this book. Carrying on from her earlier memoirs she seems primarily in this small book to be filling in with a few more stories from the past few years. Her now almost regular sessions of ECT therapy to treat chronic depression, her relationship with her step father, her father, Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and a night out with a Kennedy.
A major theme too, seems to be trying to adjust to looking in a mirror and seeing a sixty year old woman, when everybody is looking for the nineteen old Princess Leia. I can understand her pain, getting older in Hollywood must be no kind of fun.
It only took me an hour or so to read this book and I left it a little confused. It seemed that maybe it should have been called Ramblholic as it seemed to slip from story to story without any common threads, and I ended up feeling like a guest at a dinner party where someone is hogging the limelight with all their celebrity sighting tales.
2/5
