pamelas 's review for:
I enjoyed this book for the most part. When I read Rob Lowe's autobiography, I read some reviews and some people did not like the name-dropping they said he did. But how can you be a celebrity and live in the celebrity world, and NOT drop names? So for Rob Lowe, that was fine. For the most part, the names he "dropped" were his colleagues. For Eric Idle . . . wellllll, I did feel he was kind of name-dropping. Sometimes, it was quite understandable (had no idea he and George Harrison were good friends), but other times, he read the list of celebrities at a given function to no apparent purpose except to read a list of celebrities. He also went a little overboard mentioning the exotic places he traveled and worked. Sometimes, he did convey his own sense of wonder of being from such humble beginnings and yet here he was hobnobbing and jet-setting, so for the most part, I forgave him that.
On the plus side, it was laugh-out-loud funny in places and his humor came across loud and clear. I also enjoyed learning a few interesting things about the aforementioned celebrities I did not know.
So all in all, a pleasant "listen." 3.5 stars
