Summary: THE MOST AWFUL
Comment: Carrie Fisher's new book is, in one word, awful. I couldn't even get past the first forty or so pages. It's not even a beach read. This woman only adds to the stigma of mental illness. Doesn't she get it? Mental illness is not chic.
A big zero.
Don't waste your money. Donate it to a charity.

Summary: here's what i didn't like...
Comment: ...the fact that the husband 'decides' he's no longer gay. this is an insult to all of us, regardless of sexual orientation. was it supposed to be a joke, a mockery of closeted men in show biz who decide it's just easier to be married to women? i don't think so - he had already come out. i was willing to forgive other flaws, but when i got to the end and read that one, i just thought, forget it. the carrie fisher of old wouldn't have made that choice as a writer. it's too bad, too, because i always admired her writer's voice and i counted on her to tell the truth. is it too late to bring back the old carrie? i truly hope not.

Summary: Dazzling prose.
Comment: Carrie Fisher has become a poet, a painter with words, a fountain of musical utterance. I have enjoyed her other novels, particularly Postcards - and welcomed the chance to meet up again with Suzanne. But this book is no "mere" sequel. On its own, it mesmerizes, hypnotizes, takes one on a magic carpet of language to the unnamable realm of feeling and emotion. Here is the Artist, fully realized. What a privilege.
