sTORI Telling Reviews

• I Really Enjoyed This Book!

  
  By A2EGCZHW3U79IP on 2008-03-04
  I really enjoyed reading this book! Interestingly enough, I wasn't even a Tori Spelling fan when I bought the book. I had read an excerpt in People Magazine, and thought that Tori sounded so down-to-earth and real in the piece that I bought the book. I wasn't disappointed either. Ms. Spelling's openness and friendly manner draws the reader in completely. She describes her life's ups and downs with such frankness and humor that I even found myself laughing out loud at one point. Given how much trouble I had putting this book down, I went ahead and ordered Tori's series "So NoTORIous" to continue the fun!
  
  

• Tori in progress

  
  By A2F7CCPK4QL359 on 2008-04-06
  I read this tell all and had mixed emotions after reading this.
  
  The little rich girl story has merit to be revealing insiders look at growning up Spelling. Those fans of the gossip rags or TMZ will find very limited things to mine for trash. Its all presented here in an honest and frankly told volume.
  
  Tori is forthcoming on her relationship with her mother and her late father. One could say you seen this type of book genre before, in such books like Mommy Dearest (Christina Crawford) and Little Girl Lost (Barbara Hutton story). Spelling heiress Tori tends to be the nicer type of girl--the anti-PARIS and it shows in her text
  
  It is an nteresting look at Aaron Spelling the man and the father. A man who started with a little and grew to have an empire. Tori came from a silver spoon in her mouth childhood and grew up. Whereas she learned to expend under her father's roof, it became different after he left her home...and she explains it in great detail
  
  One of my favorite stories in the book is that Tori overspent to the amount of $50,000. Her father said "I know you are having money problems." She said yes and he gave her only five hundred dollars.
  
  Tori talks candidly of her relation between her and her mother...her affair with second husband when she was married to her first husband...her work ideals. She is no saint, nor nice girl. However she lays it out honestly and revealing with no cop outs.
  
  I can not say I loved this book. It did an revealing insight. However, in my opinion, just an overview of something more indepth which she should explore in her next volume

• Refreshingly frank and interesting...

  
  By A2X2YR5ZAS404C on 2008-03-15
  I bought this book after seeing Tori Spelling in an interview. Though I wasn't familiar with her TV shows, I had never forgotten her performance in a TV-movie called "A Friend To Die For." Still, I must admit that because of her famous name, I had made some snap judgments and generally dismissed her.
  
  Her book was a pleasant surprise, filled with unexpectedly down-to-earth recollections of a childhood defined by wealth. Not even half way through it, I was rooting for her as she described repeated attempts to get roles. Her happy-to-even-be-there attitude seems quite genuine, and in such contrast to the sense of entitlement that seeps out of the vapid, rich-girl stereotype perpetuated by the likes of Paris Hilton.
  
  If you are at all mildly entertained by these Hollywood, fun-read books, then pick up Ms. Spelling's story. I guarantee you will find that she doesn't deserve all of the rotten tomatoes lobbed at her solely because of her famous name. In fact, I think you'll end up liking her.
  
  

• A whole new view of Tori

  
  By A331RQIJLGXECD on 2008-04-28
  Had a lot of preconceived ideas about Tori's character through the tabloids, but after reading this book, I am rid of them. Tori comes across as a normal, unspoiled girl who just happened to have been born into wealth. Like regular folk, she struggles with her mother and with insecurities concerning her appearance. Unlike normal folk, she has to deal with the stigma of her last name to get jobs in tv and movies and to be recognized as a qualified actress in her own right. I like this girl; her spirit and sense of humor touched me and made me smile throughout her honest account of her life thus far. The only downside here is in wanting to hear more from Tori. Here's hoping she'll continue telling her stories in a second book !
  
  

• It's "her" reality.

  
  By A1M63UPSX4BWLG on 2008-07-06
  I'm surprised at the good reviews of this book. I've read many memoirs and this has got to be the most boring and self involved one. It is good that it is short because I don't think I could have finished it.
  
  Having a teenage daughter entering college, I can see where between parents and a child there can be two realities. Tori likes to talk about what a perfect little girl she was when she was little. I doubt this. She admits that she never calls her parents, does shows that mock them and isn't grateful for their extravagent gifts. Yet she doesn't make the connection that just maybe they didn't think she deserved to have a several million dollar wedding. My daughter has shown the same lack of awareness. She can say the most hateful things and then two days later not understand why we are not completely enthused with her. She doesn't make the connection of her actions to our actions.
  
  Even after Aaron Spelling's death she looks back with a bratty attitude that even though he was sick with throat cancer and didn't feel up to traveling he still should have made the two hour trip to Santa Barbara for her first wedding and paid for the entire thing (even though a year later she cheated on husband number 1). You never hear much compassion for her father or mother as he is dying. And she wonders why her mother is distant?
  
  I got the book to hear her side of the story about her mom and cheating with a married man. After hearing her side I am even more convinced that she is an ungrateful daughter and a home wrecker. She's just clueless.
  
  Note: She talks about getting collectable dolls for every birthday and being dissapointed and only wanting a barbie dream house. She should have not then included a picture of her very young in her play room with a large toy behind her with "Barbie" on it. When making you feel sorry for her she fails to mention all the other toys she got besides the dolls.
  
  
• Exceeded Expectations
  By A2GQBS317XW1 on 2008-03-02
  From her introspect to her sarcasm and self-deprecation, Tori Spelling writes this book as though she's telling her girlfriends-and gayfriends- a sTORI (c'mon I had to use it). Literally. You are drawn to her openness and before you know it, you've completed the book in one sitting. You root for her throughout and put the book down feeling good not only about Tori's personal growth and new found happiness, but about your own hopes and dreams.
  
  Every human has been shaped by their experiences in life and as we learn about Tori's life experiences (childhood thru son Liam's birth) we understand better who she is and why she is.
  
  For those of you looking for a 90210 tell-all, this isn't it. It also isn't a literary classic. But for what it is - a witty, intriguing memoir by someone we all think we know from television - it's outstanding!
  
  sTORI TELLING by Tori Spelling certainly exceeded all expectations!
  
  
• $pelling $uccess
  By A12T5ZLQK48D71 on 2008-02-28
  I couldn't put this down. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of this and wasn't disappointed at all! Tori opens up about everything and is honest about every aspect of her life in a revealing and funny way. Anyone who every watched 90210 or thought about what life would be like if they were rich and growing up in Beverly Hills needs to read this book. Great photos too. You'll enjoy this immensely!
  
  
• She should pay to replace the trees this book wasted
  By A1WVJO09ZA0RBY on 2008-04-06
  Spoiled, unhappy girl with marketing savvy writes book complaining she got cars that were too expensive, had parties that were too big, had parents who were too attentive, had too many toys and too much privilege. Maybe it's a sTori, but it's a terrible waste of a book.
  
  
• Surprise yourself :->
  By A24ZFFRQ4MG3XL on 2008-05-03
  This is really a smartly written book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it's a great read. Tori is very candid in here and seems honest throughout. She doesn't pull any punches when it comes to talking about her relationships with her parents (especially her mother) and her collegues and the press and almost everyone else.
  She starts off talking about her childhood and the dolls given to her each and every birthday that were really more for her mothers pleasure than for Tori herself. To some people she might sound brattish and spoilt, but she admits that she is fully aware that the average reader of her book might think "She wanted one car, but her parents gave her a different, more expensive care. The poor thing.", but she goes on to explain that her parents never bought her things that she would care for; it was more about what they wanted. She tells about how her best memory of her dad when she was a little girl, is helping scoop poop from their lawn. It was always the little things she loved and cared about more than the flashier things.
  She talks a little bit about Shannen Doherty and what she and the other 90210 cast mates thought about her, Tori's abusive relationships, trying to get roles on her own merit, her first marriage and her second and the birth of her son Liam. All the things you might want to know about her are in here and it really is an interesting read and not totally superficial. I enjoyed it a lot and hope you do as well.
  
  
• A new fan for Tori is me!
  By ANHRCJB2DAG1Y on 2008-04-22
  I never was a huge Tori Spelling fan and grew up watching 90210 religiously. However, reading this very personal and honest account of Tori's life thus far has turned me into a true fan. I absolutely loved this book and recommend it to anyone. I was most surprised to see how likeable Tori really is. She explains her insecurities and mishaps with humor & genuine humbleness (and I don't feel it's forced ala Tyra Banks style- "I'm just like you, believe me! Like me!").
  What I found most surprising was Tori's childhood and family life. It was nothing like you'd assume and you clearly realize that the grass isn't always greener. Not everyone with money has a charmed life. The stories about her mother are unbelievable!
  The format and style in which the book is written is impressive. I couldn't put it down. Great Job Tori! You're a class act!
  
  
  
• MIXED EMOTIONS
  By AM1V9UGIV8WD4 on 2008-04-08
  The book was an easy read. I read it in a day and a half. I couldn't put it down. I must say that my opinion of Tori is somewhat worse than it was before I read the book. She was very honest about her struggles, insecurities, and overall issues. I must admit that I was surprised to hear that she shopped at places like Forever 21. She did make herself seem more like the girl next door. It was a little hard to believe that she wrote this book for any other reason besides money (which I know all celebrities do). She wasn't very convincing in trying make you feel bad for her privileged up brining. It was hard to fathom that having great birthday parties and expensive cars was such a bad thing. All parents strive to give their kids what they didn't have growing up and I think her parents were trying to do just that. I must commend her parents for making her act like a grown up as an adult. Her dad did her a real favor by not just handing over millions, thus forcing her to figure out how to work hard to get ahead in life. She should be eternally grateful to him for that. One thing that really made her look like a spoiled hollywood type was the way she and Dean carried on while they were both married. She wasn't apologetic or remorseful for the hurt they caused two people. She could have shown more tact when retelling the story. While she and Dean were blissfully happy I couldn't help but think of the pain their spouses must have been going through. I was shocked that she kept going on and on about how their relationship felt so right. In the end, it was hard to tell what true and what was fabricated in regards to her relationship with her mother and ex husband. It seemed at times that she that she embellished the truth about those relationships in order to justify the decisions she has made. It seemed that there were so many jabs at different people in this book and that was her ultimate revenge.
  
  
• Just Call a Spade a Spade
  By AKFC40SYI4I72 on 2008-07-28
  I was a HUGE fan of 90210 and, I must admit, I find Tori and Dean's reality shows humorous, so I really wanted to love this book. However, it seems that the purpose of the book is to make the reader feel sorry for Tori due to her loveless relationship with her mother (truthfully, her father doesn't come off that endearing in the book, either) in an effort to make the reader understand why she would marry the first man who really cared about her (Charlie, who is her helpless victim) when she didn't truly love him. The reader is supposed to sympathize with her when she falls madly in lust with Dean, another woman's husband of 12 YEARS, and understand why they have to be together. While the book, like Tori's reality television shows, is somewhat entertaining, I just can't shake the ICKY feeling that these are two selfish people who broke their marriage vows and left two children essentially fatherless. At the end of the day, this is the story of a home wrecker who is trying to gloss over the impact of her actions and justify everything by saying "I can't help it - I fell in love." This book will not sit well with any reader who has a moral compass.
  
  
  
• Bought on Saturday, read by Sunday night
  By A29COAL60SB48B on 2008-05-05
  "sTORI Telling" was a light, easy read, but informative as an entertainment-based book could be in this day and age.
  
  I guess I was a social outcast of my generation because I wasn't glued to the TV whenever Beverly Hills, 90210 was on during high school (and I never watched Seinfeld, Friends or Sex and the City, either). And yet, for never watching 90210, I knew a lot about the cast members as well as the plot lines courtesy of those beloved tabloids (why bother watching anything when you know what's going to happen? I still believe in mystery and being surprised - pleasantly and unpleasantly) and the one thing that I constantly read about was how privileged Tori Spelling was growing up as the daughter of one of the most successful producers in television history.
  
  Yes, I read all about how she grew up in the biggest house in Los Angeles (a big-time lie) and how her father had practically given her the part of Donna Martin in Beverly Hills, 90210 (another big-time lie) and what a monster she was for not being there when her father died (a total fabrication), the ugly feud she had with her mother (greatly exaggerated), and the rest of it. I never gave a second thought to the level of ugliness the tabloids sent Tori's way, but I now realize after reading her story that I allowed the tabloids to shape my opinion of someone that I didn't even know and had never seen act on TV, to boot. It was extremely refreshing to see just how much those tabloids blow everything out of proportion and her story has strengthened my resolve to never spend another red cent of my hard-earned money on them ever again (and I honestly hope those tabloid hacks don't remotely consider themselves journalists in any way).
  
  Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at Tori's story. I concur with just about everyone else here that she came across as pleasantly down-to-earth and this is going to seem as though I'm loving someone else's misery, but it must be said that it was almost nice to see another example that money, indeed, cannot buy happiness. In the case of the Spelling family, it can't buy effective communication, either.
  
  The more I read about Candy Spelling, the more I was reminded of the character of Jillian from the V.C. Andrews novel, "Web of Dreams." With some modifications, I wouldn't be surprised if Jillian was based, even loosely, on Candy.
  
  I would have given this book five stars, but, quite frankly, I was disappointed that Tori did not go into her family history (unless she doesn't know it and/or doesn't care). I would have loved to have known where her parents' families came from (especially from what country her Jews came from). Also, it wasn't until Page 234 that she explains the origins of why her father was afraid of flying. This is something that should have been revealed when she first explained why he never flew so we weren't left guessing why until the end of the book. I also thought she was a bit hard on her first husband, Charles Shanian, but that's the price one pays for being brutally honest, I guess.
  
  Speaking of her time with her first husband (who was a hot piece!), I loved it when she stated on Page 113 how little going to church meant to her. I share those sentiments and I'm glad someone else was able to put into words what I've been feeling all these years - "For me spirituality is abstract and very individual. I believe in God and past lives and afterlife and angels, but not in a defined, 'Here's how it all works' way.'" Describing church as "...a giant game of Simon Says" was the big "BINGO!" moment for me of this book.
  
  But she admitted, though not directly, that she didn't understand why "Charlie" (as she kept calling him throughout the book) was so adamant about religion. In his defense, the fact that he's Greek Armenian says it all - both Greeks and Armenians identify with religion as part of their national identity. They're gung-ho about it because it's part of who they are (and, let's face it, after all both groups have been through, why the surprise?).
  
  Tori's book was overall entertaining and, believe it or not, a bit of a lesson in how not to communicate with your family (primarily via email). Folks who have communication issues should definitely pick this book up, absorb it, and then do the exact opposite of what the Spellings did to "resolve" any conflict that arose.
  
  I give Tori credit for being so forthright about her childhood and her current family situation and for publicly admitting the steps she's taking to change her ways. It takes a lot of courage to open up in front of millions of people (and then have those same people make judgments about you later on). The general praise for this book is well-deserved. - Donna Di Giacomo
  
  
• Mommy Dearest raised the Other Woman
  By AKJHHD5VEH7VG on 2008-07-27
  Tori's portrayal of her mother reminds me of "Mommy Dearest". Tori's portrayal of herself reminds me of "Pollyanna". The combination of the two in this autobiography makes me ill.
  
  An interesting read. A quick read. I don't trust 100% that every word of this is true. I've never seen anyone put such a happy positive spin on audultry before. I'm giving her an extra star for that.

  Tori, Tori, Tori, why are you sharing other people's private business? Is that how Nanny raised you? But, I'm glad you did because your book is a fun read! I loved it! And check out the ghost writer's book Candy and Me - A Love Story, It's one of the funniest books I've ever read.
  
  
• Wonderful! I love Tori Spelling!
  By A2GK1WCUYHP5GB on 2008-05-05
  I always have been a fan of Tori Spelling, even though I don't particularly remember why I started to be. Certainly with Beverly Hills, 90210, but most likely more from her campy TV movies like Mother, May I Sleep With Danger? and her excellent performances in movies like Trick and The House of Yes that really made me a fan. In the past few years, I've started to like her even more as she has started to show off her friendly and genuine personality in interviews. This book is hilarious, seems completely believable, and Tori comes across as a girl who works hard and has a true sense of herself. I want every person who has ever been surprised when I mention how funny I think Tori is to read this book. Her ridiculously brief show So NoTORIous is hilarious as well. When Tori dedicates this book to her gay fans, she finishes an excellent memoir on an appropriate tone. I hope her career only goes up from here; she deserves to be considered a great comedic actress!
  
  
• sTori Telleing
  By AAE0TZSS68OVD on 2008-07-28
  I received this book as a gag birthday present, and although I had no particular interest in Tori Spelling - I had lost track of her completely since the early seasons of 90210 - I was looking forward to a silly, fluffy read. It was both of these things, but it was also poorly written and often in horrible taste. While I found Ms. Spelling's (limited) ability to make fun of herself somewhat endearing in the earlier chapters of the book, her attempts to make her adulterous relationship over as a fairy tale romance, a case of irresistible love at first sight, really turned me off. She strikes me as an incredibly childish person, and she obviously has no respect for the feelings of her ex-husband or her current husband's ex-wife. How mortifying it must be for them to have her remorseless (and explicit) account of her affair so widely circulated! I am ashamed for her, since she obviously doesn't know to be ashamed for herself.
  
  
  
  
• Very good
  By A29EPQ7RPSI3K on 2008-03-01
  I liked this book because it gives you a real look into Tori Spelling life. Its cute and funny. This book is so much better than any other celeb book I have read. It is a fun read and nothing more or less.
  
  
• a terrific read!
  By A1U2NCUPHOJ92J on 2008-03-02
  roxie paws' review really sums up how i feel about the book. very worthwhile to read..not a tell all re. movie stars etc. more of a memoir. a very personal account of tori's life with her brand of humor infused. i am really glad i read this as i have a whole new appreciation of the girl behind the rich headlines!
  
  
• Loved loved the Book!!
  By A3SIHB0TA0DN1J on 2008-03-05
  I couldnt put the book down, I read it all in 2 days! I could relate to Tori's relationship with her Mom. Just goes to show you that having lots of money, money doen't buy happiness or love.
  
  
• Surprisingly good - refreshingly glib
  By A1XB6ZLDLP3JR6 on 2008-03-19
  Before this book, I didn't think much about Spelling, good or bad. She was just some vapid actress. Boy, has my opinion of her changed! As soon as I read the line "I guess guys who like football like to watch cheerleaders die" in response to her TV movie doing so well, I knew I'd like her.
  
  She has a genuine sense of humor, and an outlook on life that would make anyone want to hang around her. Her cynicism is so refreshing!! She'll never get the respect she's earned, but she's definitely earned mine. She can stand on her own two feet (albeit wearing Jimmy Choo shoes), and she may have finally got it right!!
  
  
  
• Hilarious and Self-Deprecating
  By A16Y0DECENAWF9 on 2008-03-24
  I read this book in two days! Tori Spelling seems like the girl next door you could be best friends with! She reveals interesting details throughout.
  
  Especially riveting is the vacant relationship she has with her emotionally remote mother. Candy Spelling has around $500 million (apparently), but she can't bring herself to have any kind of meaningful and solid relationship with her daughter. Instead she appears to like to control every aspect of her daughter's life in the only way she can - with money. She seems to have a "I'll buy you what I like, but if you don't like it you can pay for it yourself and don't expect any more help from me - ever." kind of attitude. Case in point Tori's first wedding. After reading about it, it seems that this was Candy's dream wedding - not Tori's! No wonder Tori and Dean flew off to the other side of the planet (sans Mom)to get married!
  
  Another intersting aspect of the Spellings is that they never seemed to teach Tori any kind of normal life skills - especially how to manage money responsibly. In many ways you can see how Tori was ultimately set up for financial failure by her own parents.
  
  The only reason why I didn't give the book 5 stars was because I felt that she skimmed over the ending - from the time she and Dean moved into the B&B. Instead she devotes pages to 'So NoTORIous'. She barely covers the B&B period in her life (which I would have liked to have read more about - there must be many funny stories that never made it onto TV). It seems as if she was in a hurry to finish the book, going on instead about how her life today is her 'normal'.
  
  Good luck to you Tori (and Dean, Liam and 'Little Tori') and thank you for this very entertaining read!
  
  
• so fun!
  By A1DQHS7MOVYYYA on 2008-07-10
  I grew up watching Tori on 90210, probably like most people. As the years went by and you kinda just saw bits and pieces of her, I unfairly assumed, "hey, she doesnt need to work, her family has millions!". Well, she proved me wrong, and she did it in such a humorous, honest & endearing way. She mentioned her book on the opening episode of "Tori & Dean: Home sweet hollywood", and I thought it sounded amazingly entertaining. People say she's horrible for saying so much-- 'how can she write all this in a book about her own mother?', but that woman is bonkers. If I had her for a mother I'd be much more screwed up then Tori Spelling. Obviously it's a book, and a certain point of view. But the way she told things didn't really vilify her mother, it just made you feel bad that a daughter was treated that way. It seemed like sometimes her parents were trying to show love thru $, control her with $, or trying to show her how they didn't like her choice or actions by withholding the $. Thats no way to form a solid unconditional loving relationship. A child learns from their parents' actions and Tori thankfully did a bang up job at correcting it later.
  The book was adorable, romantic and dramatic. All you could want in a good beach read. I now look forward to watching her show on the Oxygen network even more this season. Way to go Tori!
  
  
• Fun and down-to-earth
  By A2XZPTPX1J1VN7 on 2008-03-12
  I've always thought Tori got a bum rap from the press. I've always thought she was talented. After all, she does have her father's genes--a true genius and pioneer in tv. Why wouldn't his daughter be a talented actress and intelligent too? I found her book to be honest, fun, and refreshingly down to earth. Go Tori!!
  
  
• Excellent story, and very revealing
  By AZK7RTMQ4L4T1 on 2008-04-04
  I didn't know what to expect from this book; my impression before reading this book was that Tori Spelling was simply a ditsy, shallow narcissist. What the book revealed was a woman who grew up with some problems, was quite aware of the silver spoon in her mouth, and also attempted to make something of herself instead of solely persisting on her father's name. It is honest, much more like a conversation than a lecture or a speech about her own greatness. She makes stupid decisions, and then becomes aware of them (and her own avoidance). She reveals more of her actions, and the thoughts behind them, than most biographies I've read. She accepts blame when she can see that it's due (though she's not perfect in this; again, her avoidance leads her to hurt people unduly at times...but she doesn't conceal this, she just doesn't always seem to be aware of it). In a word, she's human. Likable, funny, sweet, and subject to a bit of blindness regarding her mother's manipulations. I enjoyed this book.
  
  As a point of comparison, I've read both of Karrine Steffans' books, and while Ms. Spelling does a fair amount of name-dropping, unlike Ms. Steffans, it's much more to reveal circumstances than to elicit envy or to brag. Tori doesn't reveal that every glass of Champagne is Cristal, but she does mention the names of her favorite handbags and dresses. This book truly seems like an attempt to reveal her life and foibles, to accept blame and demand respect, by laying out the truth as she sees it. Most revealing of all is the way that she treats her ex-husband; he gets a fair shake, and she accepts blame for entering into a marriage in which she was not in-love; meanwhile, she verbally frets that she doesn't show enough of why she did love him enough to want to bind her life to his. Good work, and very honest throughout.
  
  
• Torrific!
  By A2N23DJPBI16RS on 2008-04-24
  One great book! Tori Spelling does a great job at breaking all the tabloid myths printed about her. She is candid and honest in her writing. It is a miracle that she turned out so grounded despite her lavish upbringing. A must read for those who enjoy celebrity gossip. Kudos to you Tori!!! Best of luck in the future!
  
  
• 9021 - Oh can I have some more?
  By ALKABV0X4HGFR on 2008-06-04
  Any diehard 90210 fan will love this behind the scenes, inside look at what really goes on in Donna Martin's life. However, as much as I loved the gossip side of things, I finished it and felt like I wanted to know more. The anecdotes are good, but slightly glossed over, and it jumps around and skips massive junks of her life. I know it would be hard to fit in everything, but a little more would have been nice. Overall, an enjoyable read for a rainy day.
  
  
• Tori and Her Mommie Dearest
  By A313C4JO15HH3Y on 2008-06-12
  The reason I bought this book as I wanted to find out more about the relationship between Tori and her mother. Tori was very honest and really did not trash her mother as she probably should have. She told the truth and did not comment after - she lets you draw your own opinion. And my opinion is - holy moly - I am surprised that Tori grew up as well as she did. And the reason why she grew up with values and love in her heart is due to her beloved Nanny. Candy Spelling is Joan Crawford, Mommie Dearest, without the screaming and no wire coat hangers fetish. Tori has been walking around with a knife in her back for years that her mother dear put there as many times as she had the opportunity to do so. The book is well written and interesting. Nothing is left out - all about her first marriage and then the true love of her life, Dean, and their meeting and marriage. Beautiful. We should all be so lucky to find true love as Tori and Dean. Good job, Tori.
  
  
• Very Good
  By A3LV4IQAZTKA05 on 2008-03-11
  This is a very good book, I recommend buying this book. I couldn't put it down, I started reading it and finished it in three days. Tori Spelling gives details about her life, very personal information, I would recommend buying this book, I guarantee you will not be able to put it down for very long.
  
  
• Great Read!

  I absolutely LOVED this book! I especially recommend this book if you were a fan of 90210! I really had a hard time putting the book down. The insight she gives into the world of being raised by the mother she had and being Aaron Spelling's daughter is great.
