book review: Suck It Wonder Woman (16-Jan)
I like reading books about people I think I like, but don't know much about. When Olivia Munn showed up on THE DAILY SHOW, I was like, man, she looks familiar, she's been in stuff before. And she had, but oddly nothing I had seen. I am a nerd (compared to the rest of my family) but I had never turned on G4 before (unless BACK TO THE FUTURE was on) and apparently show hosted some show on that channel for years. And it's not until now that she has finally branched out. This book is definitely for people that have been following her career for a while. Not to say I didn't like the book either, but its target are her superfans, of which I am not one.
Anyway, lots about her upbringing, which was kind of interesting considering she is half white, half Asian. I am interested in that combo and find people with that background really interesting. So there is part of it. Plus, her entertainment business-like past. Wasn't very detailed, but no complaints for the over share or lack of. Plus, the way the book was laid out, such an easy ready. I think I jammed through this book in a day or just over. Chapters separated by topic rather then chronological, which always makes it interesting in an autobio. Not a complete waste of time, but only pick up if you think she is funny, which I do.
Grade: C
