Like most boys popping wood for the first time in the late '70s and early '80s, I had a "healthy" interest in Princess Leia Carrie Fisher. Later in life, whenever I've seen one of her books on the shelves, I'd think about possibly reading it, out of interest for what she might have to say regarding ...

Carrie FIsher is a hilarious mess. I mean, yeah, her sense of humor trends a little too Bruce Vilanch for my tastes, but she'll certainly say anything about anyone, including herself. Yes, this book is a jumbled transcription of her one-woman show, but that's probably why it made for such a fun audi...

I listened to this as an audiobook. It was read by Carrie Fisher, herself. I have heard her speak, so I have heard many of this before. There are several laugh out loud moments. Most was about how having her very famous parents effected her life as a child.

I read this because she's coming to Dragon*Con this year. I'm glad I read it, but I don't know that I really recommend it. The book is really scattered and very short. It should have been longer.

Very amusing memoir. As more or less a transcript of her stand-up show it was quickly read and very easily accessible. I enjoyed learning more about Carrie Fisher. I've heard so many rumours about her, that it's nice to be able to separate at least some of the facts from the fiction.The version I fo...

This book is just hilarious and will have you reading it out loud to all of your friends. The stories are just so amazing and I hope I get the chance to see Carrie Fisher perform this live. The book does give you a great feeling for how it would sound on stage.

I had the audio book for this and can't remember the last time I laughed so much. Carrie Fisher is a very gifted, very funny story teller. I might be bias since I'm a long time fan but I really enjoyed it. :)
