Book Reviews of Daddy's Boy: A Son's Shocking Account of Life with a Famous Father
Book Review: Ah Fickle Celebrity.......
Summary: 5 Stars
Did you ever wonder why, because of his basketball skills, Shaq thinks he can rap or act? Or why football players point to the sky after scoring a touchdown (like God has nothing better to do then "bless them with their skils"...although it would explain all the starving children in the world) Or why even after all of the drugs and prostitutes, Charlie Sheen STILL ended up with a honey like Denise Richards? Well Chris does not address any of these issues directly in his book, but he does give us a glimpse of how nearly unreal things like this can happen, by inviting us in the "back door" of the Elliott household to witness the ugly, unvarnished side of celebrity. Living in the shadow of greatness has made it very difficult for many of todays outstanding stars (such as Melissa Rivers and Frank Sinatra Jr.) and Chris is no exception. While not on the same artistic level as say "Little Women", if you enjoyed "Cabin Boy" or "Get a Life", or you are just a wandering wordsmith hungry for a feast of words, you will love this book!
(BTW, the book is obviously hooey, and just another helping of Chris Elliott humour).
