Entertaining enough to be made into a movie! October 15, 2007
I really enjoyed this book. It goes deep inside the mind, & expresses how we think at times. I don't believe that the book got enough good press years ago. It is definately great enough to be made into a movie! I got the audio version & loved to hear Rosie read this in her own voice and give her imitations. Terrific.
Great read October 6, 2007

I like Rosie O'Donnell so I should be inclined to be a little biased, I guess that is what makes it a two star rather than a one.
The parts of the book about her childhood and whatnot are fine, but the story about Stacie is just creepy. I felt very uncomfortable that Rosie could have gone through all of this and actually be sane herself. I usually ignore all the bad things about her but after reading this and seeing what she responded to, I'm sorry to say but, she has deeper issues than those that she publicly admits to.
The book mixes random parts of her life in with the story of Stacie. Maybe I missed the "big picture" about the Stacie story. I found it utterly disturbing and was not left with a pleasant feeling until the very last page of the book. Parker says something that seems to "wake up" Rosie which very might well have saved her sanity because she was inappropriately and irresponsibly wrapped up in something that she should not have been in. She had kids and a partner to confide in and instead confided in a sick person.
Otherwise, this is a very short and quick read. I read it in less than 3 hours one night and the text is very very large so don't be fooled by the page count.
 She once was lost, but now she's found September 2, 2007

"Find Me" is the rocky journey of movie star, talk show host, comedienne, mother, activist and my personal shero; Rosie O'Donnell. This is not the typical celebrity autobiography. Because, I'm sure by now you've figured out that Rosie isn't the typical celebrity. Instead, "Find Me" is a poignant tale of self-acceptance and is a story of both tragedy and triumph.
Rosie discusses intimately how she felt after her mother's devastating death. And how this effected her entire life. After she hit it big you would think that everything ended up happily ever after? Not so. In Rosie's world all that glitters isn't gold. Even after she becomes a big star she still has her crosses to carry.
Along the way, Rosie adopts her first child; a son. She also meets a very troubled woman that parallels Rosie's own life. Rosie ponders why she turned out rich and famous while her friend is battling a serious mental disorder.
"Find Me" like its author is truthful, unconventional, compassionate and incredibly riveting. Rosie is able to bring the reader in to her world, if only for a few moments because she is so fascinating and descriptive in her writings.
I was surprised that this book did not discuss Rosie's sexuality. (There was some vague hints but that was about it.) Because, I remember when the book was released Rosie also "came out" at the same time to her fans and TV audience. But I learned that "Find Me" is not about whom she goes to bed with or chooses to love. Instead, it is a triumphant story that describes how and why she became the sheroic woman of today. "Find Me" taught me a lot more, too. It taught me the importance of love and acceptance of others. And, it also taught me the importance of being and having a good parent because Rosie's childhood was ripped apart with the loss of her mother.
I am ashamed to admit, I used to despise Rosie O'Donnell. I listened to all the garbage cable news programs that were only too eager to drag her name through the mud for their own gain. But after I read Rosie's book and started hearing what she had to say (on her blog and when she was on The View) I learned that the real Ro, as she likes to be called, has zero resemblance to the nut the media tries to portray as her.
I can't wait for Ro's next book, Celebrity Detox: (the fame game). It comes out next month!
Even though I never met Rosie I now have such a familiar fondness and affinity to this warm individual that somehow manages to draw people to her, from all circles and all walks of life. She once was lost, but now she's found.
Ro ROCKS! July 13, 2007
