BOOK #44

Originally, I had bought this book for Rachel as a birthday present. But, in rapid succession, I found out she had read it and wouldn't be able to attend her own birthday party. So since I hadn't read it and it was paid for, I did two things. We had the party without her and I kept the book!

I had been meaning to read it since I'm a fan of hers and I wasn't disappointed. I liked that it was a memoir and spoke of her coming up in the comedy world and really what a very hard worker Ms Griffin is. On top of being funny, she is brave and loyal and warm and understanding. To have survived Hollywood and still be good with it all is where the credit is due. She really didn't have anything horrible to say about anybody (well, maybe Steve Martin but don't we all know he's a dick??) when she well could have. She continually campaigns for the Prop 8, for women's health and for the troops. And she has the reality show as well. You gotta admire a woman like that.

It was a great fun read from an unlikely place. I only hope she writes another one really soon!
