“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. A–”—Entertainment

“Funny, honest, and refreshingly unsentimental. Griffin
embraces Michael Corleone's mantra with a vengeance: All business
is personal.”—New York Post
“You feel as if Griffin is in the room with you, excitedly
gesturing as she recounts a story [and] that's the beauty
of Official Book Club Selection—Griffin has been made a fool
countless times in her career and her willingness to share those
lumps, which, face it, you’ll never read in some Oscar-winning
A-lister's autobiography, endears her tremendously.”—Richmond Times
