Whoopi Goldberg Books

I enjoyed this book as a child. To me it encomposed my dreams:of being rich and having friends. I enjoyed Ms. Goldberg's spin on Alice in Wonderland.

I read this book for my book report. I enjoy learning about famous people and their lives. This book told about Whoopi's life as a child and her struggle before becoming a star.

I read this book for a report for school last spring, and I really enjoyed it! This book gave me all the info I needed for the whole report! I was really inspired by this book beacuse of it's choice of words and how it helped me better understand Whoopi's life story. I did not find this book hard in any way, so it would be a good book for anyone from 9 years old up.

Ok, I was into this book, I really was! Whoopi has a humorous point of view on a lot of different topics. I had to keep in mind that the book was written in 1998, but besides that it started out pretty good...then I kept reading, and reading, and reading the same thing over and over and over again.

I got a bit more than halfway through before getting really sick of her whining and complaining and just put the book down. If I want to hear whining I'll go tease my dog.

I pick up this book and re- read the first chapter! I have never actually lol (laUGHED OUT LOUD) WHEN READING TO MYSELF UNTILL THIS BOOK CAME ALONG. wHOOP IS A FAVORITE OF MINE AND book IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHY THIS COMEDIAN IS STILL POPULAR AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

I still havent made it all the way through this book- not a good sign- but that first chapter is worth the entire price of the book!

Whoopi shares her views on life and gets down to the nitty gritty of things, including bodily functions. The writing perfectly captures her tone and her voice. She sounds amazingly serious and straight-faced when she discusses farting, something that no movie star of her stature would dare discuss, but Whoopi tackles the topic with her usual aplomb and humor. Personally, I would like Whoopi to write a more extensive autobiography so we could learn more about her life and her struggle as a single welfare mother, and how she made it to the top in backstabbing, "Beautiful People" Hollywood. She must have an interesting life story to tell. This book only gives you a peek into the woman behind Whoopi, as it's very short but entertaining, especially if you're a Whoopi fan.

"THE IDEA OF eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts in this country sends a chill down my spine and a bug up my butt. As I write this, there's a proposal kicking around to cut the NEA budget down from an already-slashed $[...] million all the way down to $[...] million...."

I reeally love Whoopi Goldberg.

I was delighted to hear more from Whoopi and this book did not disappoint me. I loved hearing about her family experiences and Christmas was really great too, heart-warming and how she duplicates their own family's idiosyncrasies to the T each year.

This book is the funniest book I have read in years! If you can apprecaite Whoopie's raw honesty, this book is for you. This wise women inspires "all" people to..."keep it real". Enjoy and stay near the toilet. You will laugh so hard you'll have to pee. :)

I found Whoopi Goldberg's life to be interesting (dare I say even inspiring?). I commend this biography because it provides plenty of details and Parish backs up his factual account of her life with lots of quotes from Whoopi. But I was really annoyed by how often he mentioned he doesn't think she's good-looking. Also, he sometimes offers long descriptions of movies she herself didn't think much of, but then shorts others like The Long Walk Home. Passable, but there's room for another book or more about this remarkable woman we seem to know so much and so little about all at the same time.
