Book Review of Wishful Drinking

Wishful Drinking
reviewed on + 50 more book reviews


Meh. Not as funny as her magazine pieces, although, to be fair, there were a few laugh out loud moments and wry observations. On the whole, I get the sense she's hilarious in person - the perfect person to sit next to at a dinner party - but all the meds she's on that have helped toned down her manic-depression have also given her a strangely detached voice that make it difficult to feel like you're really getting a peek into her life. More like you're in the audience at one of her "Wishful Drinking" shows.
