Title: Deep and Funny. NOT!
Review: I picked this book from the new book section of the library after perusing a few pages. I initially thought that it was funny, but on reading the whole book it became so tiresome listening to the author go on chapter after chapter about how cool she is, even WITH a child! I kept trying to figure out what her larger point was, but that seems to be it: she has children and she is COOL.I don't know if living in Hollywood has sucked all depth or meaning from the author's life, but that's what this book portrays. Not only is life about YOUR yoga class, YOUR brushes with minor celebrities and YOUR Friday nights at the bar, motherhood seems to be all about YOU. About halfway through the book, I started to count where she writes about her child or parenting in any active manner. My count confirmed that this is a mommy book devoid of children. Children and motherhood are the SET UPS for jokes about her life. Too bad the jokes themselves are not funny.
