review 1: 3 1/2 stars. Would really love to have half stars available. There's a lot of funny moments in this book, and I devoured it in about a day. The stories the author chooses to share bounce around quite a bit, but it works in the context of the book. Every so often, the author breaks in with a sad or disturbing story, often centered around her relationship with her father, and she really hits the reader with her admission of alcoholism at the end. It's all well written, but jarring for the reader, hence the moderate rating.
review 2: “I’m kind of a big deal” chronicles Stefanie Wilder-Taylor’s life, growing up and eventually “making it” in Hollywood as a game shows writer. In similar style to her previous titles, Wilder-Taylor tells her story in separa... morete anecdotes, and finds comedy in every situation she encounters.Stories include everything from waitressing in New York, participating as an extra in Bob Dylan video, and participating in dating game shows---to stalking a guy she saw on TV, temporarily working as a limo driver to the rich and famous (Chevy Chase was nice, Lolita Davidovich not), trying her hand at becoming a stand-up comedian, and accidentally getting a break and finding employment as a game show writer. The writing is pretty funny, and the author succeeds in keeping things light. This was a nice sequel to “It’s not me, it’s you,” which I also read. Recommended for anyone who likes light comedy-centered memoirs, or is simply looking to be entertained. less
