Customer Reviews

You'll never see another playmate review like this one...

Jenny McCarthy holds back nothing in telling how events in her life led to her becoming Playmate-of-the-Year; nor about what's transpired since... I thoroughly enjoyed being reminded that behind the glamor of a photoshoot there are tons of incidental events to remind one that we're all human after all...

Great book, with lots of detail.

I found the book to be a great information resource into her life and career start. The only thing I didn't like about the book was the out of order details, found to much jumping forward then back, or back then forward, but other than that, I thought is was a great book and I still love jenny in a big way, she is the greatest.

The book was a very pleasent surprise!

When my boyfriend gave me this book as a joke for my birthday, I didn't find it very amusing! You see, up to this point, I was one of the hopefully few "Jenny-haters" out there. But I decided to give the book the benefit of the doubt and give it a whirl, and I have to say that I was more than just pleasently surprised! Jenny McCarthy is not only very down-to-earth, but she's witty, hilarious, and quite frankly...normal! It was so refreshing to read that she isn't perfect after all - that she had acne, and stretch marks, and bad hair days, and bozo boyfriends. This book flys by, and I really didn't want to put it down. I am so glad I decided to read this book, not only because it was 100% entertainment, but because it gave me a chance to meet the "real" Jenny McCarthy. I loved it!

I laughed until I wanted to fart

I was not a big fan of Jenny McCarthy's until I thumbed throgh this book. I was laughing so much at the laundry mat, I had two people come up and ask what was so funny. This is an honest and bared all tale of life before, after and during Hollywood. It just felt good. It felt good to know that someone could make it at age 24 and be so realistic about life and career choices. Jenny was the little engine that could, and I could not help to admire that. This book also gave me a small insight to some of the real stories behind all of the trash that I see about celb's and their lives. Reading about both sides of a story always makes things come into perspective.
