Summary: Great
Review: "Little Girl Lost" is a great book if you are a fan of Drew's.
It tells the complete story of her childhood and how her problems arrised. Many people concluded their own ideas of why she became addicted to drugs and alcohol at a young age and this tells the true feelings and events behind it all. It's interesting and it was hard for me to put down.

Summary: Life IS stranger then fiction
Review: They say that money can't buy happiness, and Drew Barrymore proves it. This is one of the most heart-rending books I've ever read. Drew shows wisdom beyond her years as she invites the reader to look at her relationship with her mother, her non-relationship with her father, and her desent into drink and drugs. Follow Drew's sad real life drama as she goe's into and back out of rehab. What was the backlash on her career? Her relationships with her 'friends'? Her suicide attempt? This book is so good I had to buy copies for my friends. I just couldn't believe she wrote 'Little Girl Lost' when she was just 14 years old. Honestly, just trust me me and buy a copy. This book will give you the courage to face up to lifes trials.

Summary: Drew Barrymore Recounts Her Life ... and How She Survived
Review: Now Drew Barrymore is known as a star by younger generation through the hit movies like "The Wedding Singer" and "Charlie's Angels," but she was once remembered as wide-eyed, screaming little girl Gertie of "ET." But later on, she got involved in alcohol- and drug- related problems. After her rehabilitation in hospital she decided to confess what she felt during the nightmare. In 1990, then, "Little Girl Lost" was published.
Some thought, and even now may think, that the book is trying to exploit her scandal, but that is not simply true. The book records minutely her wild days after her sudden fame, but Drew does not lose her level-headed attitudes on her past, and honestly tells what happened in her life. The book's contents cover the events from her birth to her day of recovery at fourteen, and naturally considerable part is devoted to her days of decline into drinking and drug. Drew doesn't conceal the truth about her personality, difficult relationship with her mother, many adventures resulting from her behavior, and hard days in the hospital. Her first-hand knowledge is, however, what many teenagers would feel in their own life, and probably many teens and adults alike can relate to the honest Drew; that is the best past of the book, and Drew's harrowing personal experience must not be dismissed as a simple, usual, celebrity's gossip you will forget next day. And thanks to her wise decision, the book includes many pages recording her good days in Hollywood. The most memorable is her memoir during the shooting of "ET" and her friendship with the director Steven Spielberg. Her recollection is full of happy episodes, which are as touching as the film itself, and it is easy to understand that the movie means a lot to them. She also remembers her funny tall tales she made before Spielberg at the audition for "ET," and nervous feelings at her appearance on TV "Saturday Night Live" as a host. Other co-workers too appear in her book (one of them is Stephen King), and it is interesting to read those pages. "Little Girl Lost" consists two narratives: Drew's own voice written (or probably recorded) in the first-person narrative, and contributor Todd Golds's third-person commentary explaining the background of her life, which includes comments by people around her including Jaid, Drew's mother. Both tell her life one after the other, so the book succeeds in not giving one-sided view on things around her. The book is written well-balanced, and also gives a brief and comprehensive history of famous Barrymore family (of course, you knew she belongs to the legendary Barrymores? If not, it's time.) There are so many thing I want to talk, but about the rest, you buy the book and read it. The book is readable, and her very realistic account of her wild days, I confess, is gripping and absorbing. Some people say it is sad, and they are right. But she made it; she survived; and after knowing how she did it, you come to like her all the more.

Summary: Drew Barrymore's Crazy Childhood
Review: When I first read her book "Little Girl Lost" in January 2000 when I was only 14 years old at this time I became hooked up to it which it leaded me to start smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. I looked up to Drew Barrymore so much. I always wanted to try marijuana for a long time but I really never tried it yet. I always thought about trying cocaine but I'm sure I'm not going to try cocaine. Period. I can't believe that Drew's story really changed my life because I became an alcoholic for 3 years now. I see that Drew Barrymore had bloomed into womanhood at the age of 12 when she just started doing cocaine because she hated her bra size, a 34-DD. She must gained a lot of weight by smoking marijuana and I'm really thin and wanted to gain some more weight by start to smoke marijuana but I don't know if I can get some and gain weight! Please...I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm living Drew's life expect I never have been going to late-night parties or late-night clubs before. I understood that Drew Barrymore was a club-hopper at age 10.I wish I'd go to clubs but I don't have any clubs in my town. If I lived in a big city I should.

Summary: Good info
Review: Drew's Life is totally different now that she's an adult, but this was still an enjoyment to read for the avid Drew Barrymore fan. It shows a lot of where she's come from and was well writen. It would be cool if she'd write an update.

Summary: Really good book.
Review: I read this book a few years ago before I became a Drew Barrymore fan. I was a great read and it ended up leading me to watch her career and to respect her work.

Summary: Excellent, but sad book
Review: Very interesting book. It took courage for Drew to tell the world about what she went through. At first I found the format distracting (flipping back and forth between Drew's writing and Todd Gold's writing), but I became used to it after a few chapters. Even though this book was very interesting, it was also terribly sad. Drew really had a rough life, some of it was of her own doing, but much of it was due to lack of guidance from adults and a predisposition to addiction acquired from her ancestors. I am happy that Drew is successful and seems to have things together now. She certainly had a rough childhood, so I hope she can find great happiness as an adult. In summary, a fascinating and sad story.

Summary: Good pick!
Review: I am a fan of Drew, and the book really gives interesting insight into the courses of her life. It is mostly written by Drew herself, but there are also inputs of those who knew her and her loved ones. However, I feel bad for her for the drug addiction aspect of her story, but if you read the book, it really isn't anything too special, Unfortunately. There are many kids everyday everywhere in millions that succumb to the same behaviors and problems she does and worse. It really is too bad, but I wouldn't call it an outrageous hollywood story.
