Book Reviews of Celebrity Detox: (The Fame Game)
Book Review: Genius vs. Crazy
Summary: 3 Stars
I love Rosie O'Donnell. I loved her on the view. I thought Rosie spoke well for those of us that shared her opinion. I loved her honesty on the Oprah interview, which is why I purchased the book. However, after reading her book, yes, I still love Rosie. I heard her "pain" and read her "crazy" brought on by her public life,circumstances and possibly her gift to entertain, and her struggle to maintain the insanity of her life and choices. I don't really think that she needed to write this book(no explanation necessary of your life and choices, they belong to you and you live the consequences) it was kind of like reading her personal diary, no one need ever see it but friends and family long after she's passed. With that said I read it in 3 days and that is with a 2yr old tugging at me day and night.
Summary of Celebrity Detox: (The Fame Game)
Sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, and always brutally honest, this is Rosie O'Donnell's surprising account of the pain, regret, and euphoria involved in withdrawing from celebrity life--and the terrifying dangers of relapsing into the spotlight.CELEBRITY DETOX is Rosie's story of the years after she walked away from her top-rated TV show in 2002, and her reasons for going back on the air in 2006. In it, she takes you inside the world of talk show TV, speaking candidly about the conflicts and challenges she faced as cohost on ABC's The View. Along the way Rosie shows us how fame becomes addiction and explores whether or not it's possible for an addict to safely, and sanely, return to the spotlight.
Chronicling the ups and downs of "the fame game," Rosie O'Donnell illuminates not only what it's like to be a celebrity, but also what it's like to be a mother, a daughter, a leader, a friend, a sister, a wife...in short, a human being.
