About this listen
Alas, aside from a demanding career and her role as a single mother (not to mention the hyperspace hairdo), Carrie also spends her free time battling addiction, weathering the wild ride of manic depression and lounging around various mental institutions. It's an incredible tale - from having Elizabeth Taylor as a stepmother, to marrying (and divorcing) Paul Simon, from having the father of her daughter leave her for a man, to ultimately waking up one morning and finding a friend dead beside her in bed.

A must listen!
Clever, intelligent, insightful and funny both apply to Carrie Fisher and to this book, which is made even more delightful by Carrie's voice and delivery. A must listen!

Witty and fun and interesting
I'd heard Carrie Fisher was a good and funny writer, and was she ever! Three cheers for her.

What a woman, buy this book.
Absolutely hysterical, what an incredibly witty, insightful woman. Her deadpan delivery was spectacular . It is ludicrous that such a talented woman had such low self esteem. I was crying with laughter when she was talking about Bob Dylan and perfume.

Entertaining but way too short.
A whole credit for a three chapter book. Hmmm...
Fisher is a highly entertaining narrator so it's worth it I s'pose.

Carrie's amazingness at its best!
Carrie's honesty and incredible sense of humour create a healthy dose of insight for anyone going through, or trying to understand, mental health issues.

Brilliant! Loved it.
Another gem from Carrie Fisher. Hilarious, quick-witted & amazingly honest. She was a remarkable woman.
