Summary: Amazingly Thoughtful and Provocative
Review: This book, although it encompassed a mere three hours of my life, was highly profound and insightful.Rosie is engaging and witty (as usual) and writes with such amazing candor and beauty. The beauty is born out of the simplicity with which she writes. The reader is allowed to become captivated by the story (and anecdotes), instead of becoming caught up in the language and prose of the novel. The frank nature with which Rosie writes makes it seem as though she is speaking to the reader directly... I was remarkably moved and touched by the book, and found it to be highly thoughtful and provocative. Rosie's aching and longing echoes the human condition, and her ability to rise above the anguish to confront what she fears the most (herself, and the expression of her parts) is truly revealing. I was enthralled, and would recommend this to anyone... it takes so little time to read, and yet is so well worth it. I'm definitely thankful.

Summary: bizarre
Review: As I listened to this book on tape recently, I just kept thinking, 'how depressing', 'how negative', 'how cynically she looks at the world'. Yet, I couldn't stop listening, surely there must be something uplifting, somewhere in her life. Rosie has clearly had many personal tragedies in her life, that she has yet to overcome. Maybe one day she will turn her obsession to help on herself, and truly help those closest to her.

Summary: Nothing happens by chance
Review: This book is not about adoption. It's about human nature, how we judge and are judged back, universal defining moments in life, relationships, and how all of that stuff comes together to make us who we are. I was taken aback, and truth be told, uneasy, as I read this candid, emotionally raw confessional. (At times I felt like a voyeur, as if I was reading a personal diary.) "Find Me" definitely reveals pieces of Rosie we haven't seen before. And you know what? I loved it. Rosie shines as a story teller. Allowing light onto her dark places one moment, fondly recalling filling in for George Burns at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas the next. And then there's the brunt of the book: a disturbing, but always loving reach out to a girl named Stacie. As a fairly regular viewer of "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," I would turn the pages and think, "Oh God, when I watched her show around that time she was going through this?" It's an easy read and it'll make you think. Highly recommended.

Summary: Typical Of Rosie
Review: Rosie had the public fooled for the better part of her six-year TV stint. She had many people believing that she was a kind, warm person with a big heart. The only thing big about Rosie is her head. When the cameras were off those of us who knew the real stories cringed at how uttely nasty and foul-mouthed she really was and how much the world centered around only her. She treated everyone with disrespect and soaked in every "PR" moment which included her adoptions. The book, clearly ghost written by someone smarter than Rosie, is not about adoption but more about Rosie going on and on about what she did and how she did it. She offers very little for others, but than again, "other people" never factored into her life unless she could use them to her advantage. The book is just more of Rosie's love affair with Rosie.

Summary: Very little substance
Review: The book is thin and the print large.
I'm afraid I found Rosie's childhood memories utterly boring. The only thing that keeps you in this book is wanting to know what's the deal with the teenager mother. You find out. You dully think: "Oh, OK." Then it's the end, which is flat and disapointing.
Can't say I would recommend the read.

Summary: Love Her...eh on the book
Review: I actually listened to the book on tape due to the fact that I am in my car waaaay too much. I had the unabridged version, and I just didn't like the way that the book flowed. It jumped from place to place way too much and I thought the book was going to be more about her and her life rather than this fictional character.

Summary: Too weird
Review: After just finishing the Michael J. Fox autobiography, I was prepared to love this book, but it left me totally cold. There are some interesting insights into Rosie's mind, but I expected more from her.

Summary: not what I expecteD
Review: everyone has so many great reviews of how this book reveals so many secrets about Rosie's life. I was interested in the fact that she "comes out" in the book but that is barely mentioned at all. In fact the only mention of it is of her girlfriend Kelly once. I expected huge secrets but there really wernt any. The ending was also a let down. No big secrets revealed or revelations. It just kind of stopped. The book was an interesting read and Rosie is a creative writer with a fun prose style. The book didnt really have a clear goal or plot line it just seemed to be a lot of rambling. I might have liked it better if I hadnt expected so much from all the great reviews.

Summary: For hardcore Rosie fans only
Review: This book was awful. It took only an hour or so to read. It seems like it also may have taken an hour or so to write. There is no substance to this "book" at all. Rosie, bless her heart, is a great person, but there's not much to this. She befriends an underaged pregnant woman, finds out the real deal, and helps her. It was life-changing. She cannot get over her mother's death. That's about it. There is nothing else here. She seems scarily odd, also, almost insane. If you love Rosie and want to learn about her, go for it. For the casual fan on down, it is a complete waste of time and money. I have read pamplets at the doctor's office that have more substance.

Summary: A Thrilling Story
Review: I couldn't put this book down. The writing is poetic and gripping. Rosie writes about her adventure with a lady who reaches out for help. This story is full of surpises, humor, honesty, and charm. Its an adventure to read. I especially liked the book on tape because its unabridged, and read by the author.
