Celebrity Detox by Rosie O'Donnell (2007, Hardcover)

For me, it was one of those books you just can't put down! I loved her book Find me, and I didn't expect this book to be as good, but was thrilled when it was. I read the whole book the same day I bought it!! Rosie is a very talented writer and she writes in a way that makes the reader see it so clearly.

Rosie speaks about fame and her life. When Rosie was ten years old her mother had cancer, this was probably the start to later adulthood social issues. THE VIEW didn't help matters because Rosie wanted the power position on The View.

Rosie explains deep desires, copes in life, personal life, commercial friendships, life long friendships & Rosie's return to television. Remember four years have passed and some grips on reality probably turned into anxiety.

Book had more info on her children and other issues. Rosie thought Barbara Walters might have been her lost mother, but conflict seperated the two quickly. Rosie was financially stable, The View was nothing more than an itch after four years or celebrity attention. But The View had 4 already and maybe the show didn't need a fifth wheel.

The book is a fast read, one conclusion that was main focus was Rosie's Mother. After reading book my guess is this and its just an opinion and not fact "Rosie's public disconnection between Barbara and Rosie was probably the producer of The View, being great friends with Barbara". There was many times Rosie had suggestions for The View and the producer didn't bother. Reading this book will open your own opinion on Rosie, I didn't enjoy a read about hardships in life but got the interest that Rosie talks about.

I rated book 4****

I absolutely loved this book as much as her book Find Me. It was true, honest, and compelling. Rosie is a phenomenal person and a person that is so true to herself.

I was very disappointed in Celebrity Detox by Rosie O'Donnell,it was mainly about 3 Barbaras.....first is her Mother second is Striesant and the third is Walters, and we mustn't forget Donald Trump. We all know that she is a lesbain so why did she have to bring it up so many times. Her Blogs were dumb to say the less. After reading Celebrity Detox by Rosie O'Donnell I felt that it was very poorly written, the only reason that I finished it was I keep thinking that it would get better, but it never did.

I don't normally read books about celebs or by celebs. Until reading this book I really knew little about Rosie other than what the news media likes to show the public (ususally her loud and brash side). I have never watched an episode of The View or of Rosie's syndicated show. This book shows you the side of Rosie that the news media tends to conveniently forget about. It shows her human-ness. It shows a fierce mama who adores her kids and cherishes her time with them. It shows the struggles of a woman trying to stay true to herself and just be who she is - sometimes pushing people's buttons along the way. While I don't always 100% agree with Rosie, particularly with some of her political views, this book gives me a newfound respect for her and the next time the news media splashes Rosie tabloid headlines my way, I will definately see them in a different light now that I've had a peek at what makes this woman tick.

I love the way Rosie O'Donnell write. Enjoying the book so far, can't put it down!! Received quickly by shipper and would recomment purchasing from them to anyone. Love this book....you will too!!

This book seemed like Rosie O'Donnell's attempt to explain why she wasn't liked by Barbara Walter's & the cast at The View but it came off as a whine about why she was right and everyone else was wrong. And a poorly written one at that. This book rambled and seemed like a rant at times. In one sentence she can vilify celebrity but then admit to being somewhat "addicted" to the things celebrity brings, hence the title. I guess people who love Rosie O'Donnell might like this book but to me if came off as somewhat childish & bitter.

This book should never have been published! I read the whole book, and still don't know what she wanted to say! Just bashing The View and Barbara Walters. She jumped around so much, and those stupid blog pages that meant nothing except to her. I think she has a mental problem that should be addressed. The book is a piece of trash. I would want my money back, but in this case it would hurt the seller on eBay. If you haven't read it, don't waste your money. A big BIG disappointment!

I wish that I had not heard of her new book. This one is nothing to compare to her other book "Finding Me." Celebrity Detox runs around in circles, not quite finishing a single thought it began. It left me more confused with each page turn. I do not believe that any part of Rosie that we all became familiar with exists in this book. Her story is just an empty shell of her former self. I would not recommend the reading of this book to anyone.

Books arrived timely and in great condition...like new! It was an easy transaction. Everything was described well.

I bought this book because I like Rosie and thought it would be funny and full of inside Hollywood info. It didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know. I found it rather weird and depressing. It was filled with poems from Rosie's blog and made only vague references to events I thought would be revealed in detail. It seems like this book was put together very quickly and did not hold my interest at all. I expected more from a usually funny and insightful person.

I was disappointed with this book..Hopped around with subject matter to where it didnt make much sense.

I love this book. It was very honestly written, she was very brave about everything she disclosed about her personal life. I did wish it had more juicy stories about the View cohost but none the less it was great!!

I loved the book, I think that if you don't like her it will help you understand her and the things she does.

Loved the book,TRIPLE LOVE ROSIE!! Will buy all of her books, have read Find Me and her newest Celebrity Detox, and will buy any future books she writes.. I was a great read.. Read it in one sitting....
