Amazon.com Review
She was television's most famous virgin--and, as Aaron Spelling's daughter, arguably its most famous case of nepotism. Portraying Donna Martin on iBeverly Hills, 90210/i, 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. p isTORI Telling/i 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 iSo NoTORIous/i and Oxygen's iTori Dean: Inn Love/i, but her memoir goes deeper, into the real life behind the rumors: her complicated relationship with her parents; her struggles as an actress after i90210/i; her accident-prone love life; and, ultimately, her quest to define herself on her own terms. p From her over-the-top first wedding to finding new love to her much-publicized--and misunderstood--"disinheritance," isTORI Telling/i is a juicy, eye-opening, enthralling look at what it really means to be Tori Spelling. BR HR class=bucketDivider noShade SIZE=1 BRB class=h1Amazon.com Exclusive/BBR bA Bonus Story and Family Photo from Tori Spelling/b BRBRBThe Manor/BBRIMG src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/tori-exclusive.jpg" align=right border=0 People are always asking about my parents' mansion, which they called the "Manor," but I don't really spend much time talking about it in isTORI Telling/i because I didn't grow up there. After demolishing Bing Crosby's former estate in Holmby Hills, a fancy neighborhood in west L.A., they spent six years building the Manor. It's about 46,000 square feet (slightly over an acre) and has 123 rooms. Not that I counted or measured. I got those figures from the press, just like everyone else. p Anyway, we moved in when I was seventeen and I only lived there for two years. In some ways the house is like a normal house, but everything is on a bigger scale. It has four floors: the basement (which we call the "Lower Level," probably because that's its designation on the elevator) and the first, second, and third floors. The first floor has a kitchen, a breakfast room, a dining room, an office, a family room, a living room, and a projection room. There's a grand foyer with sweeping staircases on each side. Oh, and there's also a guards' room and the staff dining room. Everyone except fancy guests comes through the service entrance into a hallway with the guards' room and the kitchen. p The kitchen is gigantic, and my fondest memory of it is from when I was twenty-one and had just moved back in after splitting up with a boyfriend. I came home drunk with some girlfriends, and we pillaged the two double-sized Sub-Zero refrigerators. There was always bulk food in there for the staff. We pulled out a big vat of chicken salad and a tub of peanut dressing, both of which looked like they'd been made for giants. Somewhere in the middle of our feast we decided to have a food fight, and the five of us started flinging food at each other. Soon we were covered in peanut dressing from head to toe and the pristine kitchen was a mess. Then we heard a ding, the elevator doors opened, and there was my mother. pShe stared at us in silent disbelief. I said, "We're going to clean it up!" She just said, "Mmm hmm," and left the room. I felt a surge of love for her in that moment. It took us hours to clean the kitchen, but it was worth it. That moment made it feel, for once, like home.

Insider's look November 11, 2008
I think this is a great autobiography. You get an insider's look to what Tori's life was like growing up, during 90210 and her current marriage. I have always loved Tori and reading this made me feel for her the way all the critics who say mean things should.

Oh Tori... November 10, 2008
Tori Spelling is a guilty pleasure. She's so funny in everything she does and has three shows I adored before watching that: "Tori and Dean: Inn Love", "So No-TORIous" and "90210". I enjoyed her book very much and she's hilarious, it's a good read.

OMG! I LOVE TORI November 9, 2008
This is a great book i would recommend it to anybody who just have the press side of her life and want a lovely book that you can tell is from the heart. I love Tori Spelling and i have to admit there are a lot of things i had a different opinion of until i read her book. This is such a sad book at times but it also made me laugh a couple of times. Everyone should read this book because it is just great and you will genuinly have a better view of Tori Spelling.

I laughed and cried... October 28, 2008
This was a truly endearing book. I've never been a huge Tori Spelling fan, but after watching a few episodes of Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood on Oxygen, I quickly changed camps. Sometimes brutally honest and down to earth, this book had me giggling and crying. I read it from cover to cover in one sitting!br /br /Newly formed Tori fan,br /CaseyE
