Description: BRAND NEW PAPERBACK. 320 pages. Now in paperback, the sharp and sassy tell-all memoir from beverly hills, 90210's star and reality show celebrity tori spelling-that ever bit enthralling as one of her fathers aaron's popular series. (Paperback) read more
"What better way to follow up a book about a girl living in poverty in the United States than by reading a book about one of the richest girls in the United States? =) One of the skills of a good writer is that he/she can make a piece on something as mediocre as bananas seem interesting. Tori Spelling does not have that skill. But additionally, her life is not quite as eventful or extraordinary as one might think and her memoir feels much like reading a 17-year-old's diary (plain sentences and simple sentence structure, with bad overall organization and limited analysis). The most exciting scene for me was when her pet parrot attacked her, sending her and her friend running down a hallway and then hiding in the bathroom for 45 minutes while the bird repeatedly charged at the door or something. Haha, now that's funny.
It also bothered me when she justified cheating on her husband by the fact that she fell in love with Dean at first sight and her marriage was going down the drain anyway. I understand how it must suck to not love the person your married to, but at the same time, being unfaithful is a lapse in self-control and self-respect that I just cannot forgive. After all, she had the affair after only knowing Dean for one day!
So in short, this is not something worth reading. Tori Spelling may be a nice person and everything, but I doubt that this book would have any success whatsoever if it were not for her semi-stardom."
"She was television's most famous virgin -- and, as Aaron Spelling's daughter, arguably its most famous case of nepotism. Portraying Donna Martin on Beverly Hills, 90210, Tori Spelling became one of the most recognizable young actresses of her generation, with a not-so-private personal life every bit as fascinating as her character's exploits. Yet years later the name Tori Spelling too often closed -- and sometimes slammed -- the same doors it had opened. sTORI telling is Tori's chance to finally tell her side of the tabloid-worthy life she's led, and she talks about it all: her decadent childhood birthday parties, her nose job, her fairy-tale wedding to the wrong man, her so-called feud with her mother. Tori has already revealed her flair for brilliant, self-effacing satire on her VH1 show So NoTORIous and Oxygen's Tori & Dean: Inn Love, but her memoir goes deeper, into the real life behind the rumors: her complicated relationship with her parents; her struggles as an actress after 90210; her accident-prone love life; and, ultimately, her quest to define herself on her own terms. From her over-the-top first wedding to finding new love to her much-publicized -- and misunderstood -- "disinheritance," sTORI telling is a juicy, eye-opening, enthralling look at what it really means to be Tori Spelling. ****I loved this book, rate it 4/5. I have to admit that Tori and Dean In Love is one of my guilty pleasures. In spite of being born into incredible wealth and privilege, Tori's life was not always easy. Her relationship, or lack of same, with her mother is beyond dysfunctional. I feel sorry for Tori's mother, Candy Spelling, because she has missed having a relationship with her wonderful daughter and her lovely grandchildren. Go Tori and Dean, I loved your love story....................."
