Stories I Only Tell My Friends by Rob Lowe

I wasn't sure about reading this book as I really haven't read too many autobiographies, but this was recommended by some different people who have read it.  Since those recommending it came from all walks of life with different reading interests, I thought what the hell.  I love me some Sam Seaborn...let's read it.

I wasn't disappointed.  His story telling ability made me feel like I was reading a novel.  I couldn't wait to see what happened next.  The amount of chance encounters and just being in the right place at the right time...I can't fathom it.  It sounds almost made up the way he's met all these people even before his big break.

Rob Lowe: Brat pack member, heart-throb, success, disgrace, alcoholic, party boy, husband, friend...  the list goes on and on.  In this autobiography the reader gets to know Lowe.  His life is an interesting read.  The chance encounters, the struggles, and the triumphs make "Stories I Only Tell My Friends" a must read.  I almost felt like I was reading a well written novel.

I absolutely enjoyed this book.  I rarely give 5 stars, but this book deserves it and more.  I am in awe by the experiences of his life.
