Summary: This book is a MUST read for all Butler's fans!!! ;-)
Review: Brett Butler's "Knee Deep in Paradise" is a book for everyone to read. She tells, not only abuot her live as a star, but of her hard life while growing up. This book opens your eyes to things that battered women all over the world hide... the fact that they feel helpless and destoryed by what is happening to them. Butler's life could not have gotten any worse when her husband pulls a gun on her and she feels the bullet pass by her ear. Then, just to assure herself that she wasn't hit, she searches the wall of the hotel for a bullet hole. This book is a must read for anyone who is a fan of "Grace Under Fire" or Brett Butler's comedy

Summary: I like Brett Butler
Review: But when I finally got around to picking it up and dusting it off -I couldn't put it down! What a delightful, witty, tragic, and down-to-earth telling of this woman's life! The tale was not at all what I expected it to be, and I've recommended this book highly to my friends (much to their suprise, considering what I usually read!). I loved the book, and I'm sure I'll read it again.

Review: I also am surprised that the show is no longer being televised. The show Grace under Fire was a heck of a lot Funnier Than Roseanne. who in my opinion, is not worth being televised. However, I thought this book was Good. She has a way of letting everyone know that there is no "Perfect" world. And that life can turn out alright if you look for the humor in it.

Summary: Surprisingly touching, a MUST READ
Review: I don't think I've ever been as happy to have picked up a random book from the bookstore as I was when I ended up reading "Knee Deep in Paradise" by Brett Butler. This must be one of the most sincere books I've ever read, absolutely honest in a way that you would never expect anybody to write their autobiography, especially someone as well-known as B.B. I'm impressed.

Summary: When is her next book coming out
Review: I have followed Brett Butler since i discovered the sitcom Grace Under Fire. Being in a relationship with a southern belle and being Australian myself.. i can relate totally to most of the things Brett has written about with regards to the southern ways and southern manners. The woman in my view rocks !! .... Instead of crying into her mint tea, she writes a no holds barred, except for diplomatic reasons, story of where she came from , who she was, is and has become. Nothing is glossed over.It is real. She in my view has remained grounded even after all she has encountered in her life. Brett, keep writing, you can only get better. This reader wishes you had another book written as an aftermath for this one. Where are you now ? WHat is your life like now... have you remained "clean" from the demon drugs & drink and where are you going .....PS : are you single and dating ...

Summary: Suprisingly Dull
Review: I was absolutely blown away at how DULL this book was. Brett Butler is my favorite comedian of all time. I love her stand-up act and her television show. I guess I was fooled into thinking her witty humor would translate into her book. The story itself begins with how her grandparents met, and very slowly progresses with the occasional misplaced flash back or flash forward. This book was dull even by biography standards. I wondered why this book was so quickly discounted at my local bookstore when it was just published.

Summary: Kneedeep in Bull
Review: I've always been a fan of Brett Butler's show and frankly like just about any biography, even if I'm not a fan of the individual. Am I the only one who noticed Brett's attempt at sounding "smart" and using unnecessary long words in odd places? I would love to read the "real" story without all the long, pretentious words that just made this book irritating to read.
