Collection of stories from the life of Drew Barrymore, in non-linear order. Some of the stories I enjoyed more than others, but overall, I'm left with the impression of a good-hearted person who can spin an engaging story and actively seeks and follows through on opportunities to do good in the wor...
I love Drew Barrymore, and probably have since I was a kid watching E.T., but I went into reading this not expecting much. In fact, I checked it out on a whim and didn't think I would do more than read the first couple of pages. I'm not sure how I managed to simultaneously know a lot about Drew, and...
Drew’s reading is energized and animated and so genuinely heartfelt. At one point, when speaking about her youngest daughter and mother, you could hear her break down a bit and I shed a few tears right along with her. This book is not written in chronological order but as a collection of stories and...
Drew Barrymore has been someone I've liked and admired since Ever After and The Wedding Singer (around 1998) came out. She has lead a most interesting life.

Although I thought the pictures were really cute and neat, I thought that this book was kind of a silly idea. I think that the fact that it is Drew Barrymore is the only reason that something like this was published. But like I said, I really liked the pictures.
Do I think this book was published because it's Drew Barrymore's? Yes.Do I think the subject is not-all-that? Yes.Did I enjoy it anyway? Yes.I get to see a lot of non-biographical books written by stars and in most cases, it's the fact they're well-known people with clout that gets their crap publis...
I sortof miss our Very Bad Book Club.
A classic of the genre, to be sure. But more than that, a book both formative and prescriptive. I read this as a young teen, and I look back now on the turning of the final page as the moment when my adulthood was forged from the ashes of my youth. My heart cried out for young, tortured Drew; I wrot...
