emotional funny fast-paced

3.5

 This was like going out with a girlfriend you haven't seen in years and she just caught you up with her life story. Carrie is funny and self deprecating and I found this to be an enjoyable "listen". She did tend to repeat herself and lean on the same funny phrases which were very obvious when you finish this in one sitting. Still, I liked it a lot.

Definitely recommend the audiobook read by Carrie Fisher herself, I laughed out loud several times and she takes you through the dark parts without making you sob

Man do I miss Carrie. I highly recommend the audiobook version because she narrated it herself. Her delivery was flawless. I laughed out loud so many times.

flaweddimension's review against another edition

adventurous funny fast-paced

1.0

A brief splash of memoir, both funny and tragic. It's a bit of a stream of consciousness from a ferociously interesting person, but don't expect detailed recollection.
