Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Sonny Bono once said that Cher was so stupid that she thought the moon was the back side of the sun. Well, if he had lived to read this book he would be eating those very mean words. Cher had many first times in her life, and she puts them all down on paper here. For example, Cher shares her thoughts on politics in the section entitled "My First Allergic Reaction to Republicans." Here, she comments that Jackie Kennedy was much better looking than Mamie Eisenhower. How could anyone vote for Nixon, wonders Cher, when he was so "creepy" and his wife was "pinchy-faced"? But Cher thinks about more than just politics. There's also the first time she had sex with an Italian, the first time she had sex with a "bad boy" and the first time she had sex with a "mook." Cher even has something to say about clothing. If you're looking for a book that's hard to read, look elsewhere, but if you want the inside scoop on the depths of Cher's thoughts, served up in one-page essays, this is the book for you. --James DiGiovanna

From Library Journal

Cher's quasi-autobiography is divided into anecdotal mini-chapters, each with a title including "first" ("My First Memory," "My First Plastic Surgery"). The gimmicky format results in a lack of both continuity and depth?the text reads as if it were transcribed from tape recordings, and frequent passages of re-created dialog seem awkward and false. Scattered throughout, however, are entertaining reminiscences and infrequent glimpses of a likable and straightforward person. Especially touching are fragments that reveal the vulnerable child who survived a chaotic upbringing by idolizing Holly Golightly, listening to Broadway scores, using clothes to express herself, and dreaming of stardom. These moments of enlightenment make one hope for a thoughtful autobiography in the future. Cher has been the subject of a few biographies, the best of which is Lawrence J. Quirk's Totally Uninhibited (LJ 8/91). Recommended for public libraries with a demand for celebrity biographies.
