My husband thought I'd like this book after he saw a feature about it on the Today show. I think one of the authors is a contributor to the show with Hollywood gossip.

It's not a bad book but, it could have been much better. The pictures are great! The funniest bit is about Howie Mandel--not much of a surprise since he's a funny guy. Quite a few of the subjects like Noah Wyle and Richard Dreyfuss didn't even have Bar Mitzvahs. Why were they included?

For the most part, the choice of celebrities left something to be desired. It could have been a much better book and more input from the parents and significant others or people who were in attendance would have improved the stories.

If I didn't already have the book, I think I would have waited until it hit the "Bargain Bins" to purchase it.

this was a great book. i bought it for my daughter whose bat mitzvah is in a few weeks and she loved it. it was so funny to see the pictures of the celebs and their bar and bat mitzvahs. great gift for anyone who has had or is having a bat mitzvah.

I was disappointed when the book arrived. The book did not appear to be new. The book jacket was very worn.

Great book. I bought two copies to give as gifts. I started reading one and never gave it away - it was so funny and interesting. Really interesting to see the celebrities were just like everyone else when they were 13 -

I first read of this book in the NY Times Book Review, & showed it to my mom-in-law. She seemed very interested, & so gave it to her as part of her birthday gift. She is an avid reader who likes intellectual stimulation. She found the book to be well written & fascinating.
