I mean you just can't stop reading it. sTori Telling is a page turner. I'm a big fan of Tori so I knew I: had to read this.
At first, I resented the "rich girl" complaining but then, I was encouraged to keep reading as the dysfunction in this family became apparent.
I would recommend this book to anyone that is a fan of Tori's. It is just an honest, down to earth recollection of special times spent with family (especially her father) and also not so special times but memorable just the same. I give it a definite 5 stars. This is a very interesting look at Tori's life growing up a "rich kid" from HER perspective. It is both comical and at times tear jerking. If you're not a fan, I would recommend reading the book and you may just find that Tori is a much different, more down to earth person than you may think.
For someone who grew up with such wealth, she does seem strangely down-to-earth. Tori Spelling is one amazing woman. Go Tori, go. I also have watched her in her current reality series on Oxygen. She really did not sugar coating anything, including her admitted affair with her current husband, Dean. Her book does explain her estranged relationship with her mother, Candy Spelling. I look forward to reading her follow-up book Mommywood.
I have something really "huge" in common with Tori Spelling. She does seem to be embracing motherhood very well. I have never been the biggest Tori fan. Something I haven't done in over twenty years. You have to give her credit for being honest about her life. I admit I watched 90210 when it first came out like most teenagers did back then.
I have to admit that it really made me think of my own estranged relationship with my own mother. That's the most important job any woman can ever do. I read this book from cover to cover after I purchased it today. She could have totally spun it differently, but she simply decided to put it out there and you have to respect the girl for that. I guess that's what made this book so real to me.
I read some of the bad reviews for this book and feel like those people were not reading for insight they were reading to make more judgments. Tori, thanks for taking the time to share your life so openly for us. But with perspective she is still thankful for her childhood. I must say I was impressed with her impression of her life, talking about all the luxuries that were handed to her but all she really wanted was to be normal. I enjoy her reality show with her husband dean and their two kids. I have really enjoyed reading this book, I have been a fan of Tori's for quite a while. So I was very interested in ready this book. There are things she would change if you could but who doesn't.
