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.
