Summary: Embarrassingly bad
Review: If you're expecting Caddyshack-type humor, forget it! There isn't a single good joke in all of "Cinderella Story." Bill Murray should be embarrassed!

Summary: Not a Masterspiece
Review: If, like me, you thought that a book about golf by Murray, who caddied as a boy, starred in Caddyshack, and has played golf with dozens of celebrities and pro golfers would be revealing, funny, and touching, think again. Cinderella Story is a slapdash collection of uninteresting stories that are about as funny as a Saturday Night Live skit. The book is so incoherent you may think that the pages were organized at random. A complete waste of time and an insult to any Bill Murray fan who might be suckered into buying this turkey.

Summary: Riding on legend, not on substance
Review: Its not good, not worth the time. There are a lot of other good golf books out there. If you havn't read the book, don't review it, OK.

Summary: Like looking for gold dust in a pile of ****
Review: Not much here. If you were thinking of writing a book but felt you may not be good enough read this one. You will soon be infused with confidense that anyone could write something this good. Like other people have said, not worth the trouble. Go hit a bucket of balls at a driving range, that would be more fun.

Summary: Cinderella Story: My Life in Golf By: Bill Murray
Review: Not only is Bill Murray a great comedian, he is also a good writer. I found this book very enjoyable and extremely funny. For a man who has never written a book before, I believe Bill has done an excellent job. From the very beginning you can tell that Bill has his very own style of writing, the dedication page says it all. (Pg. V to VI). In my opinion, Bill also puts a lot of voice into this book because he is reflecting on his own personal experiences. (Pg. 4, second paragraph). Bill, much like in acting, never has a serious moment throughout the book; it's all about the laughs. (Pg. 3). Above all though, I noticed that when reading this book, it's as if you aren't reading the book, but listening to Bill give a stand-up comedy routine or sitting at a bar sharing a drink with him. There is no book, its just stories. He is just reminiscing about the past, be it about golf or otherwise. Bill's stories really have no start or finish, but just lead into another, funnier one. (Pg. 210 to 211). If I had to sum this book up in one word, it would be simply hilarious.

Summary: Quintessential Murray
Review: One of the funniest books I've read in a long time. Not strictly a golf book, but about Bill Murray's life framed by his love of golf. While his writing style darts from fairway to bunker to rough, no matter to me. A life and golf game can be similar. A great book to read aloud next to a crackling fire.

Summary: A Light snack
Review: Some Funny moments and some good stories, but way too short. The type setting and tons of pictures left you with the impression of a college sophmore trying to pass off an essay by volume. I had the feeling Bill wrote this in his spare time to fulfill a contract. It's got that disconnected feel of "I've got a couple of minutes, I'll work on the book" I love Murray, but this was a real dissapointment

Summary: A Literary Masters-piece.
Review: Step aside Stephen King. Get outta here John Grisham. Hasta la vista PJ O'Rourke. There's a new sheriff in WriterTown. Call Vegas 'cause this puppy's a lock for the Pulitzer. I hid out three days straight at the office in a stall in the executive head reading this Masterspiece. Wept at the beauty of Wilmette Illinois' favorite son story. Kudos my friend. Kudos. Get this book. (Oh by the way the June 18th review says it all but I like reading my reviews too so I penned this gem.)

Summary: Freeze, Murray!
Review: The old saying about *assuming* goes a long way in Bill Murray's "Cinderella Story." In the hundred or so celeb penned books I've read one can usually see the author speaking their words. I assumed such here. Unfortunately, finding Bill was a tad difficult. Readers will hear him in his retorts to friends & colleagues and in the reminisces of family times with brothers Ed & Brian. Otherwise, Bill is buried and rarely surfaces. Convoluted and confusing, the book jumps from one thought thread to the next never allowing the reader to knit an entire understandable story. Think Carl Spackler without his medication. On his meds, Carl may have made a more humorous read. Not making this any easier to digest were the numerous editorial errors. Grammatical mistakes & typos hindered this work tremendously. I spent more time re-reading sentences hoping it was my fault and not Doubleday's. They've either got to start paying these copy folks more money or hire people who can edit with some actual sense of ability. Too much of co-author George Peper? Perhaps. Not on par. Definately.
