Infused with Carrie Fisher’s trademark incisive wit and perfectly poised on the heels of Wishful Drinking's instant New York Times best-selling success, Shockaholic takes listeners on another rollicking ride into her crazy life.

Told with the same intimate style, brutal honesty, and uproarious wisdom that placed Wishful Drinking on the New York Times best-seller list for months, Shockaholic is the juicy account of Carrie Fisher’s life, focusing more on the Star Wars years and dishing about the various Hollywood relationships she’s formed since she was chosen to play Princess Leia at only 19 years old. Fisher delves into the gritty details that made the movie - and herself - such a phenomenal success, admitting, "It isn’t all sweetness and light sabers."

This was enjoyable because Carrie narrates it but it really should be retitled: Carrie and her Daddy - a messed up father daughter relationship. Not that I didn't like listening to this audio because I love Carrie Fisher and her sense of humor. But with that said, the title to me made no sense and her sense of humor did not come out as much as her book called "Wishful drinking". This is worth a listen but if I recommend listening to Wishful drinking, its the best! Loved it.

I really enjoyed the comedy and stride in which Carrie Fisher talks about her life.
I hope she was right about her analysis of Michael Jackson. I fear she was wrong, and I can accept that everyone has their own opinions. She made him sound human, a victim of fame. She was kind to his memory.
I could listen to this book again! I hope I can be as kind to my parents until the end as she was to her absent dad.

The best! You can’t make this up.

Love the Lady

Just as good as Wishful Drinking, and that's a high bar. In both books Carrie is clever, acerbic, vulnerable, and hilarious. Her narration is also perfect. I only wish these books were longer. Over far too quickly.

Carrie Fisher's writing is disturbing and entertaining. I feel kind of protective of her as she is so raw and uncensored. Sometimes she goes too far for me as she can get off on strange tangents but I value her perspective and silliness. When she talks about her father and the way she took care of him when he needed her was surprising and profound to me...
I actually feel attached to her as she is getting to be like an old friend who you want to look out for as she sounds fragile sometimes and I don't want to lose her....

I am getting very attached to Carrie

amazing

This is as close as one could hope to having dinner and hearing these stories first hand. I love her to pieces and this book was a great read. It seems more raw than Wishful Drinking and more intimate than Princess Diarist. I'll need to re-listen to the latter. Her stories are funny and poignant. Her personal insights colorful and thoughtful. I'm Pissed she's gone, but so glad she was here. If you have the capacity to empathize with persons challenged with mental illness and addiction, her bravery and wit shine brightly.
