About this audiobook

Michael Moore-Oscar-winning filmmaker, bestselling author, and the nation's official provocateur laureate-is back, this time taking on an entirely new role, that of his own meta-Forrest Gump. Smashing the autobiographical mold, Moore presents twenty-four far-ranging, irreverent, and stranger-than-fiction vignettes from his own early life. One moment he's an eleven-year-old boy lost in the U.S. Senate and found by Bobby Kennedy; and in the next, he's inside the Bitburg cemetery with a dazed and confused Ronald Reagan. Fast-forwarding to 2003, he stuns the world from the Oscar stage by uttering the words "We live in fictitious times . . . with a fictitious president" in place of the usual "I'd like to thank the Academy." And none of that even comes close to the night the friendly priest at the seminary decides to show him how to perform his own exorcism. Capturing the zeitgeist of the past fifty years, yet deeply personal and unflinchingly honest, HERE COMES TROUBLE takes readers on an unforgettable, take-no-prisoners ride through the life and times of Michael Moore. Alternately funny, eye-opening, and moving, it's the book he has been writing-and living-his entire life.

    This story is about Rosie O'Donnell's life. It covers everything from her mother's death to the feud on The View. I thought this book was a bit ho-hum for me. I didn't really like all the blogging breaks that she took in the story and she had quite a number of hang ups in the book. I give it a C!

    As far as celebrity memoirs/autobiographies go, this one seemed to just fall flat. I don't think it accomplished it's intended goal, which, if you believe the blurbs on the cover, is that it "...illuminates not only what it's like to be a celebrity, but also what it's like to be a mother, a daughter, a leader, a friend, a sister, a wife...in short, a human being."I am all of the things described by the blurb (well, obviously not a celebrity!), and yet, I simply didn't feel that this book resonated with me. Maybe I had unreasonable expectations, but I had hoped that while writing about how she is just a normal person, who got wrapped up in the celebrity game, she would show how there is a commonality between me, a heterosexual wife and mother in Texas, to her, a homosexual wife and mother in California; unfortunately, I just didn't feel that connection.

    Very Exposed and Raw. I admire her for showing the reader her soul. Few celebrities who write the story of themselves give me anything more than a peek into there world. Rosie gave me the front row on opening night.

    A surprisingly deep and unflinchingly honest book.

    Rosie does a brilliant job with this book, touching from subject to subject. It flows together so nicely afterward you feel like you just sat down and had a cup of coffee with her and she related these stories to you in conversation. She makes celebritydom a reality, and not just a fantasy. She shows the good and the bad. She expresses things I've wanted to express and never found the words for. I did a lot of highlighting in this book. She is definitely one of the most down-to-earth people who has ever made it to television. Through all the chaos, judgements, media frenzies, she's managed to keep hold of what matters. I adore her in everything she does, and this book only confirmed that for me.

    If you like celebrity bios and are interested in Rosie & the View this book is for you. It gives insights into what makes Rosie tick and why she didn't fit with the View crew.
