Stories I Only Tell My Friends

I’ve always enjoyed his acting, but what a pleasant surprise to learn that he is not just a talented actor, but also a man with a remarkable depth of passion for his art, his family and his friends. His narration is top notch. 11 people found this helpful

I made it 1/2 way through the book … just when it was picking up speed he starts to cuss in every other sentence. I endured until he took God’s name in vein and I shut it down quickly in hopes my family did not hear. Shame on him for wrecking what was shaping up to be an interesting story by using unnecessary filthy language. Foul language adds nothing to the performance. 7 people found this helpful

A little self-serving in parts, but what do you expect when it\’s a book about yourself? I liked hearing his stories and now I can impress my friends with deep cut fun facts about Rob Lowe. 7 people found this helpful

Rob Lowe can add \”superb storyteller\” to his resume with this book. He keeps your attention, in many instances, he leaves you astonished at the twists and turns of his life. You may find yourself asking, \”how was he there in that place?\” For someone under the age of 50, he has been close to events and people who have made a significant and lasting impact on our times and culture essentially by being a good-looking actor who has taken on astonishing roles that were not \”lost\” on him. He gives a great accounting of his life at many vantage points from his 5-year-old childhood impressions to his \”brat pack\” celebrity and into the clarity of adulthood. This is a very interesting and absorbing read from a most unexpected source. 53 people found this helpful

Would you listen to Stories I Only Tell My Friends again? Why? It\’s unlikely I would listen again, but not because there is anything wrong with this book or this narration. Lowe\’s memoir is phenomenal and his narration is near-perfect. There are just so many other books out there I haven\’t yet listened to, I don\’t see myself doing a re-listen. What does Rob Lowe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? His voice adds a lot. To hear him tell his stories in his tone, at his pace, with his inflections, makes the entire thing much more relatable. After listening, I felt like we were buddies. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? If I had the time, I would have tried. It went very quickly, and I was sad when it was over. Any additional comments? I now want to watch The West Wing start-to-finish on DVD because of Rob Lowe. 42 people found this helpful
