"Being the same age as VB and growing up with One Day at a Time, it was fun to read similarities as a child and teenager; growing up in LA, being an Elton John fan, etc... but after awhile I found her to be kind of self-absorbed -- and I realize this is an autobiography, but I was hoping for somebody other than "the Hollywood type" and I was disappointed that even Valerie Bertinelli is "a Hollywood type". That being said, it was interesting reading about her marriage to Eddie Van Halen - sad, but interesting. Happy that she found happiness in getting slim and fit, but frustrated at reading size 12 is "fat". Frankly watching an episode of Biggest Loser is more inspiration than what is in this book."
"I don't know why I was surprised that a book about weight loss would be so much about weight, but my overall impression after reading this book was that it would have been a much better book if the weight loss part was left out. It seemed to be a standard celebrity biography with "at this point, I weighed 132" and "now I wasn't working out at all and gained 15 pounds" thrown in at the appropriate time. Yeah, we've all gained and lost weight, worked out and fallen off the wagon, but hopefully that's not the way we will frame our life experiences. Maybe that's the point of the book, but it pointed up so clearly how narcissistic and self-involved it is to waste your life obsessing about your looks."
"Proof, were it needed, that I will read just about anything. And in the world of celebrity autobiographies, will not only read anything but will enjoy it as well!
I have always loved Valerie Bertinelli,(I never missed an episode of "One Day at a Time")and she comes across in her book pretty much the way she always has on TV. Written with real warmth and honesty (tons about her difficult marriage to Eddie Van Halen and really written from a place of kindness), I found her struggles with compulsive overeating and obsessing about her weight to be very easy to relate to. I was worried the book would be one long Jenny Craig ad but the diet plan doesn't even get mentioned until the last section of the book. An enjoyable read for fans of Valerie. Mackenzie Phillips, your book is calling..."
"So as a fan of pretty much anything 80s, I was interested in readin this book. Also frankly, so see if there were any tips she had with healthier eating and lifestyle habits, which I am always open to learning. Valerie speaks openly and honestly about her struggle with weight, dealing with a very drunk and high famous husband (Eddie Van Halen), and trying to balance working with being a good mom. I watched a little of One Day at A Time when I was younger- it really was a bit before my time, but I would catch it on reruns and I liked the plots. I've always enjoyed Van Halen (like everyone, I own 1984). So I figured, hey, this should be good. She is super candid, which I appreciate and not preachy, which I had anticipated. She's a normal girl who went through A LOT and was miserable for a long time while married to Ed. Although I haven't had the misery, I've had the bad days of "I'm not attractive" and "everyone is thinner than me" and all that. And she felt that way. I guess I was shocked that she admitted to feeling ugly and fat- I always thought she was beautiful and honestly never knew she had a weight issue. Good book and very easy read."
