I'm not really a fan of Kathy Griffin as I don't really follow
her and what she is doing. I've only caught a couple of episodes
from D-List. If anything, I know her more as a personality from
talk shows and red carpets than I do as a stand-up comedian. So,
this really wasn't a "must-read" book for me.
Having just finished it, how did it hold up? Pretty good. Much
better than I thought it would be. This is the book that I was
expecting Tina Fey to write in that I know Kathy a whole lot
better than before and the structure of the book was pretty good
as well. There is a lot of dish-worthy name dropping in Official
Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin to go
along with some eye opening stories about her Brother the
pedophile as well as her struggles with eating disorder.
This was a very entertaining read from the get go and it would
have gotten a full 5 Star rating from me if she had just omitted
the final 2, worthless chapters. The chapter about Steve Wozniak
was garbage and just overall...weird. It's all filler for the
book reprinting her emails with Woz, who comes off looking
pretty stupid and desperate for affection. Just....bizarre.
And the chapter about her and Paris Hilton was a bore. But other
than that, I can recommend this book to everyone.
Rating: 4 Stars out of 5

I'll probably pass on this one. Not a fan of her stand-up and I
find her for the most part irritating.

Well, that's how I was coming into the book myself. So I was
pleasantly surprised to find her book pretty engaging and funny.
