Summary: Sorry
Review: I saw this book at a friend's house. I didn't read it from cover to cover, just skimmed a few sections, and walked away feeling very sorry for Debbie Reynolds, Connie Stevens, and his children in particular. How tough it must have been to not only have an absentee father, but also to have this book highlight for all the world to see the intellectual and emotional limitations of your dad. They all deserved far better. Eddie should have just kept his mouth shut, then maybe one of his kids could have had at least the illusion that their dad had a little substance and class.

Summary: been there done that
Review: I'm so glad I didn't buy the book. Eddie Fisher sounds like a highschool sophmore. The book reads in a very juvenile manner. Did this guy ever grow up or what? Is he remotely aware of how he sounds when he talks of his extremely good looks,{questionable} and his disgusting sexual conquests? Probably not.Do yourself a favor, with all the wonderful books there are to read, don't waste your time or money on this one.

Summary: Pure Entertainment
Review: In the 50's Eddie Fisher was my romantic dream. I had all of his records and adored him. Then he disappeared and I now know how he has spent these past years. He writes honestly but of course it has to be somewhat spiced up in order to sell. Still, I feel there is a basis for all of his stories, though somewhat vulgar at times. He lets us peek behind closed curtains and see him make one mistake after another. His obsession with Liz just broke my heart. The book however, is written well, is fun and very entertaining.

Summary: A Great Distraction from 24-Hour Life!
Review: Just finished the Eddie Fisher autobio - a hunorous insider's peek I couldn't resist. Lighten up on Eddie - sure he's a jerk, but he readily admits it! It was a different era, before stars existed on alphafa sprouts and espoused perfect parenthood. We already know about Liz (we still love her) and Debbie deserves our respect - but Debbie in large doses could be tough on anyone! Life in general, society as a whole and the golden ruler have all extracted their fair share of Fisher's hide. Read it for the entertainment value and move on!

Summary: A good time speed read....an exciting page turner!!!
Review: Lewinsky and Clinton move over it's back to the future with Debbie Reynolds - Eddie Fisher - Liz Taylor - Richard Burton! A scandalous tale that rocked the nation even more than you two. Eddie seems to have an undeniable interest in telling all when it come to having sizzling sexcapades with all the beautiful stars of the sixties!

Summary: Musical Beds Abound
Review: Most people remember him as the guy who dumped Debbie Reynolds for Liz Taylor, the guy Taylor dumped for Richard Burton, or later, as Carrie Fisher's father. But once upon a time, back in the '50s, pop singer Eddie Fisher was a true superstar, though hardly "bigger than the Beatles," as the crooner boasts. His downfall, as they say in self-helpese, was that he preferred playing musical beds to making music. In Been There(written with David Fisher, no relation), the singer chronicles his sexcapades with a jaw-dropping conga line of conquests that included Ann-Margret, Marlene Dietrich, Michelle Phillips and JFK mistress Judith Exner. The only one Fisher trashes is ex-wife Reynolds, whom he calls a "self-centered, totally driven, insecure, untruthful phony." What's both surprising and charming here is that for a showbiz guy who was hooked on amphetamines (for 37 years) and ménages á trois, Fisher emerges as remarkably unjaded, still the sweet innocent from Philly. It's almost as if Pat Boone had stumbled into Frank Sinatra's life by accident.

Summary: IT'S MADE AN ADMIRER OUT OF ME
Review: Never cared for anything about Eddie Fisher, till I read this book. It's humorous, it has the ring of truth, and it's certainly interesting if you like inside Hollywood stuff. I still don't like Eddie Fisher, but it's okay now that I know he doesn't either.

Summary: Reading this book was more of a waste than Eddie's life.....
Review: No only are there no heroes in this book there are very few worthwhile words as well. Everyone and everything is painted in a negative light-with the exception of Eddie. Considering he is the "painter" of the book that is not surprising-his bragging style is pathetic at best. According to the book every important person valued him, every idea came from him, every person was using him, every woman wanted him-generous to a fault...........what a phony yarn. I agree w/a quote he used of Debbie's which went something like "the best part of him was his sperm" and would go on to add "fertilized" sperm so only his children get the credit. Simply distasteful.

Summary: Honestly written account of old Hollywood, warts and all...
Review: Sure Eddie's latest book is shocking... but also very humorous... He doesn't lack for modesty but no one else is tooting his horn... He probably shouldn't have spilled the beans on Ann-Margaret, Debbie, Liz, Marlene, Connie, etal but it's kind of refreshing to hear what happened in Hollywood in the 50s. I've read many autobiographies that seem to be edited... this one isn't! Even though he hasn't much decency, this was an easy read and I'd recommend it.

Summary: Eddie Fisher's biggest fan? Eddie Fisher!
Review: There is no bigger fan of Eddie Fisher than himself. Even if he's alienated his children and is out of screen stars to bed, he'll always have his inflated ego and exaggerated tales to keep him company. Endlessly preaching to readers of his global fame (bigger than Elvis?)and appeal to women (really? no, really?) are so boring (and doubtful), I skipped right over them. Unfortunately this is merely a long, sordid story of what he REMEMBERS his life as. Not terribly well-written. Those portions that are the most self-engrossed will be too annoying (or far-fetched) for readers to believe. I checked this one out of the library -- I knew it would be embarassing to have on the bookshelf. Further, I'd hate Eddie Fisher to make another dime off of this.
