Editorial Reviews:

She was television's most famous virgin -- and, as Aaron Spelling's daughter, arguably its most famous case of nepotism. Portraying Donna Martin on Beverly Hills, 90210, Tori Spelling became one of the most recognizable young actresses of her generation, with a not-so-private personal life every bit as fascinating as her character's exploits. Yet years later the name Tori Spelling too often closed -- and sometimes slammed -- the same doors it had opened.

sTORI telling is Tori's chance to finally tell her side of the tabloid-worthy life she's led, and she talks about it all: her decadent childhood birthday parties, her nose job, her fairy-tale wedding to the wrong man, her so-called feud with her mother. Tori has already revealed her flair for brilliant, self-effacing satire on her VH1 show So NoTORIous and Oxygen's Tori & Dean: Inn Love, but her memoir goes deeper, into the real life behind the rumors: her complicated relationship with her parents; her struggles as an actress after 90210; her accident-prone love life; and, ultimately, her quest to define herself on her own terms.

From her over-the-top first wedding to finding new love to her much-publicized -- and misunderstood -- "disinheritance," sTORI telling is a juicy, eye-opening, enthralling look at what it really means to be Tori Spelling.

Summary: the nepotism nymph
Comment: Using the same format that a majority of other Tori Spelling reviewers have taken: surprisingly, this book came across as a very fun read!

Tori paints the picture of her life in a very simple and honest way, adopting some of the humor from her short-lived sitcom "so noTORIous". It's easy to see that she's rehearsed these stories at length with friends, and they flow across the page with wickedly fun glee. Some autobiographies become lost in the minute details of unestablished characters, focusing more on the author's memory than on the reader's ability to grasp. Tori made sure to reference her friends and give us an idea of what she was dealing with.

The rumors that seemed to surround her life were surprising. She makes it a point to also not brow-beat us with the information we'd already heard before (via tabloids) and dispels any untruths that have come across. It's shockingly raw and honest, hearing her admit her mistakes and taking the weight of a lot of what was dealt in her life. This is no "poor little rich girl", indeed. You really see all sides of Tori Spelling, and for that I think I admire her.

It's total Hollywood fluff but it's also the life of Tori Spelling. It'll be interesting to see what she comes up with for the next 30 years....

Summary: My review of the book
Comment: I was so excited to of recieved the book in the mail. Not knowing that my husband had purchased it for me. He knows that I am a big fan of Tori Spelling. I just want to say that it is a good book to read. You will find out all about her life as a child and as she grew up. There are so many things that know one knew about her or her family, that she is telling. I recommende everyone purchase a book.

Summary: love it!!!
Comment: This is a great book for the Tori fans!!! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!! She did an amazing job with this book. I can't wait to read her next one. This book really goes thru a nice time line of her life. She added 2 sections with pictures of her and family, friends (past and present). This really brings out her loving, caring, & hilarious personality. I think a lot of ppl really misjudge her. She has had a lot of scrutiny from the press- a lot of unfairness as well. Along with her tv series, you can really see the true Tori. She's amazing.
