Outside Reading Post #9

Well I am currently reading three books simultaneously, one book for school, and two others for fun. Because I haven't read any further in the book Twilight, and The Odyssey is pretty boring, I thought I would blog about the other book I am reading. I am reading a memoir called sTORI telling written by Tori Spelling. Tori Spelling is a favorite of mine when it comes to celebrities, and I watch her show on Oxygen often, so when I found out she was writing a memoir, I was eager to read it and find out more about her life. I'm almost done with the book, and only have a few chapters left. The book tells all about Tori's life, how she got where she is today, and a lot of stories that the public probably would not know about. Because Tori's dad is the famous Aaron Spelling, she really has had a lot to prove about herself in the acting business. She also has a VERY strained relationship with her mom, Candy. Her mom is very mean to her and I don't blame Tori for not getting along with her. When Tori was little, she asked her mom if she was pretty, now the typical response of any parent would be, "Of course, you are the prettiest girl in the world," or something along those lines, but Tori's mom replied, "You will be when you get a nose job." I can't even imagine how hurtful that comment was for Tori, and she has remembered it her whole life. And can you guess what she did when she turned 16? Yep, she got a nose job. One of the things I like most about the book is that Tori is very open when she writes, and you get the feeling that she's really talking to you, or that you're having an actual conversation with her, which I love. I would highly reccommend this book to others, especially if you like Tori Spelling.
