Summary

Finally, after four hit novels, Carrie Fisher comes clean (well, sort of ) with the crazy truth that is her life in her first-ever memoir. In Wishful Drinking, adapted from her one-woman stage show, Fisher reveals what it was really like to grow up a product of "Hollywood in-breeding," come of age on the set of a little movie called Star Wars, and become a cultural icon and bestselling action figure at the age of nineteen.

    It took me some time to adjust to her comedic style, and I have to confess that I initially started it but gave up. However, around halfway through, I became eager to hop back in my car and continue listening. Her narration may have been a bit grating, as if she had rehearsed it numerous times and it came across as robotic. Nevertheless, her candidness and sincerity managed to break through. It demonstrated that even as a renowned movie star born into a world of fame, she still experiences relatable challenges with family, adolescence, and personal connections.

    This memoir, 'Wishful Drinking', is simply the epitome of irony, making you laugh uncontrollably. It feels genuinely authentic, like a true account of someone's life. The author, who was famously known as Princess Leia, delivers a hilarious and witty narrative that reminds me of David Sedaris' dry and deadpan style. Carrie Fisher's voice adds a unique touch to the story, with a raspy tone that suggests she's had her fair share of cigarettes. It's truly a remarkable journey through her own fantastical world. I highly recommend giving this audiobook a listen!

    I feel like I wasted 3 hours and 8 minutes of my life on this audiobook. It was like dealing with that slightly unhinged aunt who you can't wait to see leave your home. I definitely wouldn't recommend this one to anyone.

    Really terrible (especially the audiobook version). The author tries desperately to be funny but just isn't and her narration voice is beyond nagging. I did enjoy her impersonations of her mother and she has a somewhat interesting story when she's not going on and on about herself; which is the entire book.

    I'm a huge Carrie Fisher fan and loved hearing her story. Her sense of humor and delivery of jokes made this audiobook a lot more entertaining than it might have been if I read it.

    Somewhat endearing; I did have a few laughs. Carrie is full of insight, honesty, and is a decent narrator. I do agree with the previous reviews regarding the "laundry list" of celebrity problems. I wouldn't read it again, but I don't regret having listened to it.

    The laundry list of who is messed up in Hollywood could well have been omitted, but I found the book easy to listen to. Not hysterically funny at all to me, but it did have its moments. Not the best nor the worst book I have ever listened to.

    I agree that CF isn't the best narrator, however think she's been through a lot and it reflects in her voice so maybe we should give her a break...?! I thought the book was interesting enough. Worth it to me.
