2.0 out of 5 stars Less Than What I Expected, August 8, 2002

By	Kevin M. (New York, United States) - See all my reviews

I beleive I know more about Chris Farley than Ms. Anderson does. Seems as though she only watched the Saturday Night Live sketches because she had too.
This book reads like a high school essay. All the author does is rehash what we all saw on "The E!True Hollywood Story". Describing the sketches Chris had performed verbatim, with bad grammar no less, who couldn't do that? Seems as though the author cut and pasted SNL sketches, Entertainment Tonight interveiws and magazine articles together to write this pamphlet.
If you are a true fan of Mr.Farley's, I'd advice you to wait until a deeply researched book is published.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great subject, well meaning, but way too short., March 19, 2003

By	Michael Erisman (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

As a fan of Chris Farley's work on SNL and in movies, I was looking forward to some insight into this troubled man's life. Sadly, this book contains precious little insight into Chris and his sad demise.

If you too have laughed out loud at the antics and performances made famous by Chris, and were saddened by his early passing, then you may find this book an interesting, albeit very brief, look at his career and life. However, the in depth analysis is lacking and the book is far too short for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chris Farley, August 12, 2001

By	Melody (MI, USA) - See all my reviews

It was nice to read a story from someone who seems to actually love Chris as much as I do. There was a lot of negativity after his death in the tabloids so it was great to read something celebrating the wonderful man he was offstage and on. I love you Chris! Miss youuuuuuuuuuuuu!
