Not as funny as her previous memoir, Wishful Drinking", Shockaholic is still a worthwhile read. I think this book has a lot more navel gazing than in her previous venture, but it is perfectly understandable since this book is basic tale of Carrie saying good bye to her father, Eddie Fisher, whom she hardly knew , and his final years. She also talks about her life such as her friendship with Elizabeth Taylor (the woman who stole her father), and Michael Jackson. She tells a very interesting atecdote about one of the litigants in the Jackson child abuse case and it makes you go hmmmmm? She also tells a not to pleasant story about Ted Kennedy that does him no credit. It's not a long read, so give it a chance for an evening.
