Memoirs I Read

"Hello, Molly!" A Memoir - Molly Shannon. I know of Molly Shannon, from SNL. I'm not the biggest fan of SNL, but I would watch it...when it was funny.  I saw Molly's memoir on the shelf and knew I had to read it . I'm not sure why. But it caught my attention. I have to say that Molly writes beautifully. But if I had to give this book a movie rating, I'd rate it R. Some chapters are very detailed.  She writes beautifully about her family in the beginning and the end of the book. especially the end, to the point I teared up and had to put the book down.

However, one little thing that I did not like was that she was kind of all over the place. One chapter she wrote about being 19 on her own in Hollywood, the next chapter was when she was on set of E.T when she was 6. I would have probably enjoyed it more if it was all in a time line, and not zig-zagging through life stages.  She also writes about her children, from birth. Again in a  zig zag state. One chapter she writes about her first child, the next chapter she writes a...
