5.0 out of 5 stars The book of all books!!, March 28, 2004
I've always been a huge Whoopi fan, and I've always thought she was amazingly funny. When I first saw this book, I had to pick it up. I flipped to the back cover to see what it was all about and ended up laughing myself all the way from the bookshelf to the checkout line and then to my car. As I attempted to read the back cover to all my friends at work, none of us could contain ourselves...this book is absolutely hilarious! I've read it twice, and I have two copies! I've bought it for friends as gifts, and no one has a bad word about it. The book is contagious; once you start, you can't stop, and you'll get your friends wanting to read it to. Go head, pick it up...yeah, you. The one reading this review! You know you want to read it. Give it a shot, you won't regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Love Whoopi, Love her BOOK., April 22, 2003
Past reviews have called BOOK over the top, which it is. Her views outrageous... to some they might be. Liberal? Of course. I agree with all of her opinions; I am extremely proud to be called a Liberal and I'm pretty sure Whoopi is too.

I'm Catholic but her opinions of the popes, both past and present, are totally on the mark and not offensive to anyone who has any awareness of what's going on in Rome. Read with an open mind. Whether you agree or not, Ms. Goldberg's opinions will freshen up your thoughts on a lot of subjects.

It does ramble on like one of her stand-up monologues, which is what I love so much about it. I also recommend the audiobook version so you can hear Whoopi reading her own words.

This is not high literature, I admit. But it is fresh and humorous and one of my all-time fun reads. I even named my web site after her cute name for a fart. Tree Monkey . Net
