Summary: Mesmerizing reading
Review: Truthfully, I haven't read a really good book in a very long time. I'm sort of into a mode where nothing holds my attention for long, but I could not put this book down. It's just another insight into the mind of a truly wonderful lady, and I do understand so very well how she lets herself get caught up in so many other lives. I, too, tend to think with my heart first. I seem to FEEL what others feel, and act on that feeling before I use my head to think it through. Rosie has a heart of gold. I think she will always be looking for her Mom in everything she does in her life. I know that feeling, as well. This heartwarming story will make you see what a caring person Ro is, and why she does the things she does. I loved it, and give it the highest rating. Go Ro!! Keep them coming!

Summary: Will the Real Rosie Please Stand UP??
Review: Wow, this is a challenging book to read because it shows the vulnerabilities of the talkshow host/personality Rosie O'Donnell and hints at some of the deep impact that childhood wounds can have on adults at any age. Part memoir and part narrative about a relationship she creates with a caller, it is odd and quirky and at times irresistable. Is she naive? Is she lonely? Is she nutz? Rosie has brought much happiness and fun to viewer's lives, the show ended in controversy as did the magazine she headed but we know there's more to come from this vibrant comedienne who love to share. What makes the book so fascinating is the ability to peek behind the screen/curtain and see what Rosie's family life was like and how it has and continues to affect her every day. I have the feeling we still haven't seen the real Rosie-- the mature woman who has made peace with the past and is glad to share the present.
