Reading this book is rather like life; you dread coming to the end but can't wait to find out what happens on the way.

The Force Is Strong In this One February 19, 2009

and so is her medication from the sound of it. This is an amazing book and a must for any Carrie Fisher fan. Where previous books have drawn from her own experiences, this one, which is the book to accompany her one woman show of the same name, is completely autibiographical. Throughout all the madness in her life she has maintained her dry and playful wit and this book is so funny I couldn't put it down. The part where she has to physically draw her family tree to make sure that her daughter is not about to commit incest when she sleeps with her new partner is a personal favourite.
 Witty and entertaining January 2, 2009

This is a short book, don't expect an encycopedia length biography to send you to sleep on the train, and at times it does read a little like the transcript of her one woman show, which it is based on, rather than a book in its own right. But, that said, Carrie's writing is incisive and funny and if only half the stories were true she would have had an astounding life. I most enjoyed the anecdotes about her mother, star of one of my favourite movies ever, and the way in which she clearly gets battier as she ages. Their altercations may have hollywood granduer as their backdrop but, in essence, are little different than the frustrations that come with loving someone and find them intensely irritating in the same moment. I love Carrie Fisher and really enjoyed reading this, even if I finished it in an afternoon rather than the longer book I expected.
Not your typical self-satisfied read July 11, 2009
Maisa Mäkinen (Turku,Finland)
Written in a dry,subtle style this book shows the other side of being a celebrity and the daughter of almost iconic parents. I`m definitely a fan from now on!
