"The author's tellitlikeitwas memoir is moving because it's unsentimental she neither demonizes nor idealizes her parents, and there remains an admirable libertarian quality about them, though it justifiably elicits the children's exasperation and disgust. Walls's journalistic barebones style makes for a chilling, wrenching, incredible testimony of childhood neglect. A pullyourselfupbythebootstraps, thoroughly American story." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Albom delivers a command . . . performance. He brings his two clergymen protagonists . . . to vivid life and conveys their messages of faith with sensitivity and respect. The audio's most memorable moments feature the humility and eccentricity of the two spiritual leaders who, despite their deep religious commitment, refuse to be placed on a pedestal. From the ailing Jewish leader breaking out into whimsical songs in the middle of his grueling medical treatments and his Christian counterpart savoring the joys of barbecuing, Albom's characterizations brim with humor and compassion."

"With a foreword begging Oprah to be on her show and a chapter called ''Brooke Shields, Don't Read This,'' Kathy Griffin's autobiography, Official Book Club Selection, is everything you'd expect. What makes it a terrific read, though, is all the stuff you wouldn't expect: binge eating (her own, not Paula Abdul's); her conviction that her late brother was a child molester; and her unflinching accounts of her plastic surgery and her divorce. Whether or not you're a fan, you'll respect her tenacity, work ethic, and loyalty to her parents. And if you are a fan of Griffin's celeb-tastic stand-up, skip to chapter 8, which should be called ''Helen Hunt, Thomas Haden Church, and Ellen DeGeneres, Don't Read This.'' Everyone else, dive in.
