Summary: just a fantastic book by one hell of a singer! i loved it!!!
Review: From the minute I started to read this book,I couldn't put it down! Eddie Fisher had and has some life! It is so interesting and moving and very funny too! Everyone seems to put Eddie down for unfair reasons. Read this book and you can just see he's telling it like it is,not what the world has in mind of him.Eddie seems like a very sweet man that did the best he could in life at the time.I think it's interesting his ex-wifes after all this time have to still say negative things about him.Maybe the truth hurts when its on the other side for a change!Buy the book and read it and you will see what I mean

Summary: An honest look inside the nasty world of show business
Review: I admire the way Fisher doesn't varnish his depiction of life in Hollywood and Vegas. Some of the stories are shocking, but frankly they are probably true. Yes, he promotes himself throughout, but hey no one else is tooting his horn. This is a great, fascinating, brutally truthful read.

Summary: Sad tale...
Review: I bought the book because of the story involving Elizabeth Taylor. If I were Eddie Fisher, I would not be so willing to share this sad tale with the world.

Summary: Not great but not bad!
Review: I do love a good juicy Hollywood biography, and this one fills the bill. Cheeseball Extraordinaire feels the present day climate is the right time to spill the beans on his life and loves, his ups and downs. The story is very self-centered, of course, and I still can't understand the attraction of Mr. Fisher to all those women. The last couple of chapters are rushed and "tacked on as an update". Annoyingly he never quite explains just what it was he didn't like about Debbie Reynolds; like most men who write these things he just basically says, 'we were just too different, we just didn't get along', and leaves it at that. He does go into great detail about La Liz (Taylor). In my opinion the 50's era was a sorry time in Hollywood history, the people seem a little dowdy, dated, and campy to read about. I much prefer reading about the wonderful 30's and the wonderful stars of that era. As show biz biographies go , I can recommend this one, especially ladies 50 and up will appreciate the straight dope on the big scandal in their era!

Summary: Been there, Done Her
Review: I enjoyed this book only in a sick, superficial way. I felt dirty after reading it. The majority of the book focuses on Fisher's sexual conquests. Each girl is super-willing to hop in the sack with him and is more beautiful than the last. Pages and pages of this book follow the same pattern: this star or starlet had the perfect body and face and I got her into bed and she loved it! I was the best she ever had! She threatened to kill herself if I left her! You start to feel bad for all of the people he bad-mouths (Debbie Reynolds and Richard Burton), and you can't blame the people who leave him for leaving him.

Summary: I found this book extremely upsetting
Review: I found this book extremely upsetting; his self-serving attitude is offensive. The book is written in a very elementary manner, with one tawdry episode after another. One doesn't feel that Eddie has any self-awareness or understands the pain he is probably causing to the many women he embarrases in this book. I would not recommend it to anyone

Summary: EDDIE AT LEAST TRIED TO BE HONEST ABOUT HIMSELF!
Review: I read Mr. Fishers book TWICE I loved it. While i certainly concede he is no great star at least give him credit. He is honest about he's drug addiction and his not so great role as a father. i dont understand Liz Taylor's displeasure in the book.
He writes about her in glowing terms. Of course, I could see why
Debbie Reynolds would not like it. THAT part is understandable.
But at least, Eddie took the blame for most of his mistakes unlike other books who try to shift the blame. I recently bought a CD of him at the Winter Garden. He WAS NOT BAD AT ALL>
And years ago I saw Debbie in a show in Charlotte and she was great but at the end SHE DID DO WHAT EDDIE STATED IN HIS BOOK>
(SHE put her finger down her throat when she said "Fisher") If his daughter Carrie cared anything about her father she would not have liked that disrespect (he might have been an absentie father but, he was not an abusive one -like i had)
Anyway, I liked it and thought it was so readable.Thanks Eddie
