Stories I Only Tell My Friends: An Autobiography Audiobook

" What Hip E. said....I thought the exact same thing about this book....I even got it after reading the Keith Richards book like him! HA! "

" I realize that running in the circles he has for most of his life, he's met LOTS of famous people. But it still felt like a book full of name dropping and bragging. It's was a mildly entertaining book, glad I can read it for free from the library. "

" what can i say? i've been a rob lowe fan since i was 14 yrs old (i mean, he's dreamy!)-this was an interesting read and reminder that just because people are famous, doesn't mean their lives have always been easy... "

" Rob reading his own book..I listened to it in the car on the way back from LA..really enjoyed it! But I don't think he was honest about what happened on the West Wing..all a bit too vague! "

" I read this book for a one-time attendance at a book club. It was surprisingly good. He tells good stories in a funny and self deprecating way. I saw The Outsiders but didn't remember it vividly, I never watched The West Wing. I remembered hearing about some sort of "sex" scandal involving him but couldn't recall any details (he doesn't give many in this book either). So, I didn't really have any expectations about what this book might be about / include. He starts at the beginning with his childhood - which was not the childhood I would've tagged him with. He is my exact age, and his experience of middle and high school mirrored mine, which was nice to read. I often think that all that crazy stuff only happened at my high school. :-) He describes his chutzpah at gaining entry into the world of Hollywood and the hard work that ensued. He alludes to a drinking problem, but finishes with the idea that his best work was / is his family (sons). It was a quick and pleasant read. If he gets a part in a show or movie, I'll be more likely to make an effort to see it - as a result. "

" I listened to the audible version which is read by Lowe. What a pleasure "

" This was surprise. I knew I'd like it but i found it very inspirational at times and a great read. "

" the audio book, read by Rob Lowe, is really enjoyable! "

" Although I liked this book, I wish that it had more personal stories...some of it reads rather staged, and is basically a time line of Robb's career. "

" loved this! listened to the recorded version which was read by Rob himself. felt like he was telling me the stories one on one. his imitations of the famous people he talks about were spot on and hilarious. "

" Totally enjoyable. Especially if you grew up in the 80s when Rob Lowe was the consummate teen heartthrob. And if you're a Cary Grant fan, well, there's something in here for you too. "

" It was fun to read stories about different times in Rob's life as well as the other celebrities that I recognized. He's had many adventures along a life of ups and downs...it's nice to see famous people are real just like us in some ways! "

" I read a lot of historical non fiction and mini histories so this was a big change. I found it fascinating- rob's got a lot of stories. "

" Crazy, I never thought I would love this...but I did. I was mad when it was over. "

" What's not to like from Mr Lowe? It was an amusing series of stories and from someone that grew up in the era of the Brat Pack it was a fun read "

" Not bad, but certainly reminded me why I don't usually choose actors' memoirs. "

" great story, wonderful anecdotes. I wonder if he kept a diary, he has a great memory. Love the Bill Murray story. "

" The people he has met is astounding! What an amazing journey... Well written and keeps you interested. "

" Listened to this while traveling and found it very engaging - the trip went quickly listening to Rob Lowe tell of his many adventures and challenges. "

" One, big, star-fuck. He even star-fucked 9/11 "

" A nice, quick and dishy read. I have to say, Lowe writes in a voice that is so similar to his Parks & Rec character that I could hear his voice in my head as I read along. "

" I got a little over halfway through (just past the pictures)and called it quits. I got bored with it. "

" I read this over the summer... I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed it a great deal! "

" His friends must be pretty bored by now of hearing stories of Rob Lowe having brief, unremarkable encounters with people slightly more famous than Rob Lowe. "

" Very interesting story of his life. Somethings shocked me, but mostly I enjoyed it. "

" Pretty much exactly what I wanted it to be: light, full of name dropping and stories, and made me want to go rent a bunch of 80s flicks. "

" Great, easy read. Fascinating insight on fame. Who knew this bad boy was really such a monogamous, adoring, doting, family man. Made me Love Rob even more. "

" He is an excellent writer....fun to hear about his childhood and also of charlie sheen and other familiar names. "

" I am not ashamed to say, I loved it!! Love to read about the 80's, glad to see how he really cleaned himself up and is a good father and husband. I thought he was going to trash people, but he did not. And, he's actually a good writer! "

" Fun candy-like read. Hunky Hunk made a nice life for himself. "

" Amazing. Not only is Rob Lowe incredibly handsome but he is also a very talented writer. I absolutely recommend to everyone - especially those with a sordid past. "

" Surprisingly well written, and quite fascinating. Enjoyed this read! "

" I could not put this one down. It is definitely a celebrity biography , but written with heart. It was so interesting to hear about his relationships and his encounters. I've always been a fan. This is a fun light summer read. "
