Title: The joy and pain and joy and pain of Donny Osmond
Review: A very honest portrait of a star who was tossed aside when the world of show business decided it had had enough of Donny. The most interesting part of this portrait is the pain Donny experienced throughout his life, which is more apparent through what's not written than what is. He's so easy to like. Biggest disappointment is that there is not a big enough emotional catharsis. He seemed to get over his anxiety disorder rather quickly, although in real life, I'm sure it was a painful road to recovery. Also, my only question was --- if he was bankrupt and didn't have any money coming in, how did he support his family and who paid for his travel around the country? It never seemed that Donny was ever down and out --- just not in the celebrity limelight. Still, this is a great read and makes you want to call Donny up on the phone and invite him over for a piece of cake.
