Last year I thought about reading the Little House actors’ memoirs and then put it off when our library closed. Thankfully, Zandria posted her yearly reading list and nudged me into reserving them.
The first one,Confessions of a Prairie Bitch, came to us last week – TW read it first and laughed loud and hard all the way through it. I mean she really really laughed. And she wanted to talk about what she was laughing and I had to shush her strongly so she would not give it away.
When I read it, I chuckled in a lot of places but I did not roll around on the bed laughing the way TW did. TW is weird. I would, however, love to see Alison Arngrim’s stand up show. That would be awesome.
If you loved Nellie or hated Nellie, you should read this. Heck, if you enjoyed watching Little House on the Prairie, you should read this. I’m worried that Melissa Gilbert’s book won’t stand up to Alison’s… I’ll let ya know next month.
I read this in the car on the way back from PEI. (Have I mentioned I love ebook iPhone apps?) I didn’t really watch Little House but I was still amused.
I’m not much of a “laugh out loud” person either, but I really enjoyed this book! And yes, I totally agree that Alison Arngrim would put on a kick-ass one-woman show.
Melissa Gilbert’s book wasn’t as “amusing,” but I liked it very much, too. It talked a lot about her life outside of the show (and after it ended), which I liked.
