Audiobook Review: Wishful Drinking written and read by Carrie Fisher

_images_posts_wishful_drinking

If you’ve ever thought your family crazy or yourself crazy, or if you or your family is crazy, or if you are simply interested in crazy people and families, Carrie Fisher’s Wishful Drinking is absolutely the book for you.  I would know because absolutely fall under some of those categories. 

I won’t lie, I mostly wanted this audiobook, so Princess Leia would talk to me for 3 hours.  I know I am a ridiculous Star Wars geek.  A ridiculous Star Wars geek with an interest in insanity.  I am the market for this book.  However, I must admit that it is clear in the first few minutes of the book that Carrie Fisher is not Princess Leia.  She talks mostly of her childhood and what it was like to grow up in America’s spotlight. 

Wishful Drinking is a hilarious celebrity memoir.  Fisher’s self-depreciating humor is laugh out loud funny, and her antics rival Charlie Sheen.  It is an interesting look into the life of a princess.  I only wish I would have seen the roadshow.
