"Wishful Drinking" by Carrie Fisher

wishful.jpgA review from reader Loretta Martin:

Sometimes you read a book review that makes you say to yourself, "Hey, sounds like a good read -- hearing about growing up the daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, not to mention being the famous Princess Leia of 'Star Wars' -- all of which supposedly lead her to become an alcoholic with a sense of humor, all on top of being bipolar ..."

So you run out and buy the book, only to find out it was a waste of time, money and effort because somehow the humor completely slipped by me and I didn't learn nearly as much as I wanted to of the Debbie Reynolds/Eddie Fisher/Elizabeth Taylor triangle as told from a daughter's standpoint.

Makes me wish I had decided to buy her book "Postcards from the Edge" which landed on the best-seller list. But do I want to fall into the same trap? Probably not.
