Can we talk? Joan's latest book is fabulous in every way!
Reading "Don't Count the Candles. . ." is like having Joan Rivers talking directly to the reader--as an old (but fighting it every step of the way) friend. Her honest, shoot from the hip (liposuctioned, of course) game plan and advice is well-written and is done so with Joan's typical humor and wit. I'm buying a copy for all my friends and even my ex-mother-in-law! Go Joan! Keep up the ...

Extremely honest
Joan Rivers did a fabulous job with this. She was extremely honest in her descriptions with show business and describes the "business" of it so openly. Her vulnerability and strength are intertwined so vividly.She is funny,honest,intelligent,good-hearted and insecure as most, but brave enough to admit it. I would highly recommend the audiotape and book as well. It is a great tool for anyone ...

Bouncing Back : I've Survived Everything...and I Mean Everything...and You Can Too!

Joan Rivers, Ralph Schoenstein

Harpercollins, 1997

Hurray for Joan!
I can't believe that those who are putting down this book have gone through much of a crisis in their lives. Having gone through the fire myself with losing a father, nephew, and son in addition to illnesses and financial troubles, I found this book to be very inspirational. This may be because Joan was echoing what I have come to believe on my own, but sharing it with the world takes a huge ...

Joan Rivers, Having a Baby Can Be a Scream
I was disappointed in this book. I thought it would be funnier but it actually was more informative than anything else. Any one having a baby would enjoy this, I think.

Life and Hard Times of Heidi Abromowitz

Joan Rivers

Star Bks., 1986

A quick one on the side
The Life and Times of Heidi Abramowitz is a humorous fictional biography of the author Joan River's loose woman alter-ego. With large print, lots of white space, and many drawings by James Sherman, this is really a quick read. Imagine all the jokes and put downs you have ever heard about loose women. Then imagine that there are three times as many that you haven't heard because they were too ...
