Stories I Only Tell My Friends By Rob Lowe

Every chapter of this book drew me in.  The name dropping and the art of destiny were what sparkled in the book.  As an average person who gossip about celebrities (pathetically), I care how these people suddenly blow up in fame.  And Rob Lowe's autobiography told his story and how it was all in the stars.  It was so great to read how he met Sean Penn and the Sheens.  The intro on The Outsiders was spectacular because the snippets of Patrick Swayze made me want to cry.  I miss that guy.
Rob's struggles in life such as partying too hard was inexcusable.  He knows it too but he somehow excused himself from his mistakes.  When reading his reasons of bad choices, I was first annoyed but I understood this human condition.  We can't always remind ourselves of how much a screw up we are.  If we do, we would never move on, have a new start and make good choices.  Though I felt Rob did not really take blame for the things he done, he did accept the consequences and I think God noticed.  Rob's blessed life is a result of how he worked on redeeming himself.
I suggest everyone to read this book.  It was a quick read and makes you take a look of the whole picture.

Summer and the City by Candace Bushnell

After reading this, I wished I was Carrie Bradshaw.  Though before, I liked Charlotte and Samantha's characters better, Carrie's eccentricity pulled me in.  I definitely identified  with her personality and story the most.
I would have dumped that small town friend who visited.  Who does she think she is?
Donna LaDonna reminds me of someone I know.  This is the person I would also be polite to and pity her.
And yes, I'd probably be obsessed with Bernard also.  Don't lie, every women liked an older man before.  And acted stupid before.  Or that's just me?
Wasn't it obvious there was going to be something between Capote and Carrie?  Jerks are always like that.  Or we think they are.  If a guy really likes a girl, he wouldn't be a jerk.
There is not much to say about this book since it doesn't exactly have a lesson lol.
I watched The Shawshank Redemption recently, and that is something I recommend.

Bossypants by Tina Fey

This was a A- autobiography. In the beginning, I found a sense of who Tina Fey is with her opinions on beauty and how rude people can be.  It was pretty funny and smart.  However, when she started going in depth in her life, I got bored.  The story about her honeymoon gave me a yawn.  Apparently, they went into danger on a cruise or something but it didn't seem dramatic enough.  I mean, there's no reason to embellish the story but since it was not entertaining, it shouldn't have been mentioned at all.
Her dad sounds scary. I can absolutely relate.
I can agree that Disney princesses makes girls weak.  I still love them but really, no girl should wait for prince charming to save them.  It's pathetic.
I love gay people too but I don't know many.  Wish I did.  And yes, they deserve same rights as straight people do.
That's pretty much all I can say about this book.  On to the next one!
