Review

Written in an upfront, chatty style and liberally peppered with profanities...some amusing observations MAIL on Sunday She is honest about everything...the best 'riffs', particularly those on sex, are very funny indeed. I laughed uproariously DAILY TELEGRAPH Screamingly funny. MAXIM Whoopi Goldberg's upfront, no-holds-barred comedy tactics have forced their way onto the silver screen over the past two decades in box-office hits ranging from Ghost to Sister Act, making this talented and eccentric actress one of the hottest properties From the delightfully irreverent description of her farting years (a talent which earned her her name), to the ponderings of a woman in love--"AIN'T IT GRAND!"--and back again to her perception of the indiscretions of American presidents, the emotions tha --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book of all books!!, Mar 28 2004

I've always been a huge Whoopi fan, and I've always thought she was amazingly funny. When I first saw this book, I had to pick it up. I flipped to the back cover to see what it was all about and ended up laughing myself all the way from the bookshelf to the checkout line and then to my car. As I attempted to read the back cover to all my friends at work, none of us could contain ourselves...this book is absolutely hilarious! I've read it twice, and I have two copies! I've bought it for friends as gifts, and no one has a bad word about it. The book is contagious; once you start, you can't stop, and you'll get your friends wanting to read it to. Go head, pick it up...yeah, you. The one reading this review! You know you want to read it. Give it a shot, you won't regret it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Run for governor, girlfriend!, Sep 17 2003

By

Duke Marine (Newbury Park, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Book (Mass Market Paperback)

Seriously this book makes you wonder why Whoopi isn't joining "Ahnold" at the polls! Its basically just her espousal of liberal politics. Which don't get me wrong, I agreed with her on everything and of course it was delivered with her comedic wit. But that's really all this book is. Its not that autobiographical, it really doesn't make a solid point. Its just a collection of Whoopi's various opinions on various hot topics. My only real "problem" with the book is that instead of trying to make a valid point, instead of trying to change things with her opinion it seems like she's just whining alot. I mean she may be a celebrity but mulling over your opinions in a book isn't gonna get anything done. So I say run for governor, girlfriend!

I was looking for something a little kinkier.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love Whoopi, Love her BOOK.
Past reviews have called BOOK over the top, which it is. Her views outrageous... to some they might be. Liberal? Of course. Read more
