Book Reviews of Celebrity Detox: (The Fame Game)
Book Review: Real and Raw
Summary: 4 Stars
Rosie O'Donnell seems to be someone you either love or hate. There really does not seem to much middle ground with her. I have been a fan of Rosie's since her VH1 days. Long before the Rosie O'Donnell Show, The View, and many of her successful movie roles.
Detox was such a mindfull and open book. It's real and raw. There is no "fluff" here. I wish that many writers would follow Rosie's example and not be afraid of writing with such honesty. After reading the book in just one sitting it assured to me why I adore Rosie so much, and it was refreshing to read that she is now starting to understand why people look up to her as she does to Striesand. No matter what your art form is : singing, acting, comedy, painting, writing, etc. the old adage that the truth will set you free really is true.
I highly recommend this book. It's an easy read and an eye openening look into not a celebrity, but a person. It's all about the human connection.
Peace,
Scot
Book Review: From the heart of her loss she see's the world differently.
Summary: 5 Stars
For most of us our childhoods escaped the traumatic loss of a parent. Our view of the world for the most part left unfractured by grief.
Rosie O'Donnell was not that lucky. The death of her mother was the birth of her broken heart and the pain of that loss lives on in constant adjustment throughout her life.
Courageously she shares the journey of that loss and the yearning for her Mom and the fear of abandonment and betrayal by women who trigger the memory of that relationship. Rosie has already lived through the worse loss of her life that gives her the back bone to tell it like it is. She has survived living through her truth but this view collides with those who live in the luxury of innocence.
I found the book to be true to who she is with no IFB to coach her to buffer her reality. If you don't like the honest truth you will not like this book. Pick it up again when life throws you against the wall and it may make sense to you then.
Book Review: Scattered and boring
Summary: 1 Stars
I picked up this book at a local thrift shop for a few coins, thinking it sounded like an interesting read. After about 100 pages I wondered why I was still reading it. Rosie's writing is very scattered and I found it hard to follow her stories. All of the big gossip and stories Rosie shrugs off acting like she had no idea it was even going on the whole time, like the drama with Donald Trump, Rosie says she never turned her TV during the whole escapade. This book did make me feel a little sorry for all the drama and stress celeb's have to go through, but only a little bit sorry. Rosie has tons of money and time to do anything she wants, why would I feel bad for her? Doesn't she realize people with hardly any money who are working more than forty hours a week still have to deal with drama and stress. I would not recommend reading this book. Will probably take it back to the thrift store.Book Review: Read-worthy; personal depth with a clear voice.
Summary: 5 Stars
Rosie's style of writing makes for a clean read; her voice comes through loud and clear (but NOT annoying!) This is a wonderful presentation from someone who is not afraid to share her real feelings in print and in art. You can see her expressive artwork in Linda Woods and Karen Dinino's Journal Revolution: Rise up and Create!
Journal Revolution: Rise Up and Create! Art Journals, Personal Manifestos and Other Artistic Insurrections
I found the subjects she writes about intriguing (love the peek at inside workings of The View) and purging (enjoyable to see Mr. Dump Truck blasted by the master!)Totally worth a purchase. Yes, I will read this one again after a bit (and I don't do that very often!)
Book Review: Real and Raw ! A year without alot of Yellow and lot of plastic faces
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must read for anyone who is a fan of the kind hearted Rosie.Who she is, who she would love to be, and why you would know it would be better off if she wasn't .For Rosie to turn into one of those plastic people would be, not be, the lady that she really has become to all her true friends .Plus, all the true friends still unkown friends that she will meet during her journey on this planet we have come to know as life .Many of us are scearching for ever and never really have the thrill of being able do for others as she has be blessed to do during her short time on this this earth .Can't wait for next book to come out. Life in a couple hours of reading that has taken so many years to make. Hurry Ro, as I am getting old, 69 around the corner and I would for you to be able crank out books much faster so I can read them all.
