Summary: "Find me" left me looking at Rosie differently
Review: This book was not quite what I expected. Rosie shares her obsession in helping others, her insecurities, her fears, her codependency, and opened us up to a whole side of herself that we were unaware.

It takes great courage to write a book like this, as it really casts her as a troubled woman, with major issues. I have always liked Rosie (and still do) and it just makes the point that we never know someone truly by their behaviour on the outside. Here is Rosie, a huge celebrity, successful and funny, yet inside she has fears, and a huge hole with the death of her mother.

A very easy and quick read, and I am amazed that a celebrity would share this subject matter with her fans. But I am certainly glad she did. A bit dark, yet an honest emotional portrayal of an event that had a huge impact on her life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A better insight into Rosie!
Review: Rosie O'Donnell has many sides to her. When this book first came out I couldn't wait to read it. I am a subscriber of her magazine and really admire her. This book showed a different side of her. I was a little shocked when I first started reading about the woman that was calling her at all hours AND the fact that she was accepting these calls, but after I realized that Rosie felt this woman's pain and just wanted to help her, it made me understand. Rosie is the type of person who wants to help eveyone and this book proves that. She never askes for anything in return. I really related to Rosie when she talked about how she feels about her body and her insecurities. I too have felt this way. I may not be a celebrity, but I too have had many occasions where people have wanted something from me and I gave and gave because it made ME feel good. I think Rosie proves in this book that she is just like a lot of us. She derives pleasure from giving, but sometimes gives too much. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Rosie and for those who don't, this book may change your mind about her. She speaks candidly and doesn't try to be someone she's not. You have to love that about her. She is the only celebrity who speaks the truth and doesn't do it because she has been drinking, doing drugs etc.,and now wants the public to like her again. She speaks the truth because that's just the kind of person she is. We could all learn alot from this book. I will read this book again, I loved it!

Summary: Find Me
Review: Not exactly what I expected but it was still a decent book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Trees died for this book
Review: Nothing personal against Rosie O'Donnell, but this is one of the worst books I've ever read! At least the money from the sales went to charity. That's a plus!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good book
Review: This book wasn't what I expected but it was still good. It was interesting to see how different people can be and gives us all insight as to how people behave when they have multiple personalities.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very interesting! I hope there is a sequel !!
Review: This book was extremely interesting. I appreciate the candidness! I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about a REAL person! I found this book to be somewhat depressing/disturbing. The reason why I feel that way is because it wasn't something I call a "happy go lucky" story. Other than that I had a hard time putting the book down. I was quite interested to read about Rosie/Ro/Roseann O'Donnell. It was almost like a book within a book. Rosie wrote about someone she had met that had multiple personalities. That was interesting also. I look forward to a sequel...if there is one that is.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Rosie, How Bizarre!
Review: I read this book with the thought that it was a memoir. In part, it is a memoir with occassional insights into Rosie's childhood, but little else that would qualify as a memoir. It is definitely a quick read. People who say they couldn't put it down, probably didn't need to put it down, because it is nothing more than a long essay.
The intense relationship Rosie takes up with a person she doesn't know is troubling. And the fact that she intensifies the relationship when she learns the individual is severely troubled, is more disturbing. I do not applaud her efforts. I find it disappointing that Rosie wishes to identify herself as someone that can really relate to a mentally disturbed person. Rosie's message seems to be that she is herself a disturbed and troubled person. This is in such contrast to the strong personality she has displayed in public over the last five years, serving as a role model to the middle class American woman. It makes me wonder who Rosie wants to be? If she wishes to spend the next few years becoming America's role model for self pity, then I hope she doesn't expect people to spend their money on the marketing of her name.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Rosie's story about her fame and fans
Review: This is not a Rosie O'Donnell autobiograghy. Instead, the star is writing about certain instances in her career that deal with her fame and her fans. There is background information given about her life, but only as it relates to a fan with mutliple personality disorder. An interesting insite into what stars must go through in dealing with some of their fans.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not my all time favorite book
Review: I loved watching Rosie O'Donnell and have quite a bit of respect for her. I bought this book hoping for some insight into her amazing life, but this book was very hard to get through. It seemed more about compulsive behavior than the story of her helping a young lady. I tried hard to like this book, but lost my interest somewhere in the middle.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not what I expected
Review: This book was not quite what I expected. I thought I would hear of Rosie's rise to stardom, how she came to adopt children and even how she came to believe she is homosexual. I thought it would be about her finding her! Instead it takes you on her tale to be an unqualified pshycologist. A little sad and very dangerous for all involved.
She does write a good story in an entertaining style but it was more an episode in her life. I am not sure I left the story with a clear ending. More I left feeling both individuals were very troubled. Sorry I like Rosie, she seems wonderful but I felt misled by the title
