Wishful Drinking was adapted from Carrie Fisher's one-woman show, so it can't really be called a memoir. It is more just a collection of crazy things that happened to her, like a regular celebrity memoir, but an only-the-good-parts version. I think more books by celebrities should be like this. I guess it probably helps that Fisher is actually a good writer.
Remember a few weeks ago when I told you guys how crazy Nathan Rabin's life is? Well, his life is nothing compared to Carrie Fisher's. I can't even begin to explain it to you. You should probably just read the book. It's short, the print is big, and I guarantee you that you will learn at least one awesome thing about Bob Dylan and several awesome things about Debbie Reynolds. That lady is great! Who knew?
