Book Reviews of Wishful Drinking
Book Review: HUGELY DISAPPOINTING
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a fan of Carrie Fisher's writing and was looking forward to reading this book - billed as "her first ever memoir". It is a hugely disappointing read. First off, it barely stretches to 163 pages in length (that is including the "acknowledgements" section!) and is printed in a size of typeface normally reserved for (very young) children's books. The content is non-existent - her mum and dad are Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, she married the short guy from Simon and Garfunkel, her gay friend died in her bed and she has an addiction problem. Now that I have told you that, you don't need to buy the book. Trust me. That's all that there is to it - apart from a rambling section about her being Princess Leia. I hate to say this, because I really like Carrie Fisher, but this book is a rip-off. And another thing, the publishers should all be given eye tests as the text is riddled with printing errors - giving the further impression that the whole thing was a cynical rush-job. Save your money. Not worth it.
