Anna FarisRezensionen

Couldn't sleep and listened to this whole book. Was good enough. About what I expect from most memoirs style books from comedians/actors.

I love Anna Faris and was really looking forward to this book, however I did not realize it was a love and relationship advice book. I enjoyed and appreciated some of her stories but I don't really relate to or agree with all of the main-stream Hollywood ideals that she lives through. I think my opinions are somewhat bias against some of her ideals and I don't really need relationship advice, so, I gave it two stars, it was okay and fun. If this book interests you don't be afraid to give it a read, her stories are fun and can be relatable, this is subjective of course; she even admits humbly that she is not a professional but just wants to help.

Faris writes candidly about much of her life. And while I appreciate her honesty about the times when she didn't have her sh!t together and her insecurities, I found myself just not liking her very much. It took me a long time to get through it because I just wasn't as interested as I thought I would be. Also, not for nothing but it is incomplete. There is one mention of her family "evolving" which I assume references her separation from Chris Pratt. For as much as she talks about how wonderful he is, it seems disingenuous to not explain the split in the context of the rest of her life. I might be a little TMZ of me to want all the details but she did also choose to write a book about her life.

Interesting and entertaining. An easy read, if not a gripping one. Covers most of her life, in brief. You feel like you get a decent feel for her, as a person. Worth reading if you're a fan; probably not, if you're not.

Oh this was funny - it was also slightly depressing - but there were some lines in this book that just had me laughing out loud like, what was she thinking when she blasted some of this stuff to the world... though I like that she has no shame and wasn't trying to be someone she's not, see seems pretty cool though and I'd totaly like to hang out with her lol time to find her podcast now.

So deep and personal, I would love for Anna to officiate my wedding in the future.

I really like Anna Faris. We have almost nothing in common except in height. She’s got great comedic timing but I’m not so sure she’s the funniest person naturally. I did get a good laugh here and there but I just found her memoir really interesting. Something about being that one friend that everyone goes to for relationship advice was something that I totally related to.

The one thing that everyone is talking about is Chris Pratt’s “forward” and I thought it was just okay. The actual book is funnier, but like I said its overall very entertaining.

The extent that I knew Anna Faris before was that she starred in The House Bunny and What's Your Number, and was married to Chris Pratt (mega hunk). This memoir/ self help/ celebrity advice book talked about love, bad decisions, acting, family life, regrets, and other little tidbits. It's not in any way chronological so there is loads of jumping around but that does keep it pretty fresh and keeps the reader on their toes. If you listen to the audiobook it's also narrated by the author herself which is pretty fun. Listening to this memoir made me respect and appreciate Anna Faris more as an actor, although I did not get the "we could be best friends!" vibe that I got from reading Amy Shumer and Mindy Kaling's books. She's a cool chick, but I still have nothing in common with her. Not a bad read.

Unqualified is a both humorous and realistic take on dating and relationships. Anna Faris opens with the disclaimer that she is not qualified to offer anyone advice in their romantic relationships, hence the title of the book and her podcast. She has made her own relationship mistakes along with her triumphs. In the end, it is all just opinion. However, I found many of those opinions, both Anna's and those that she has received over the years, valid and thoughtful. Faris' openness and honesty made it easy to relate to her.
Whether you are single, dating, in a happy marriage, or unhappy marriage, this book with offer you the insight of various other people on relationships which might lead you to reexamine your own relationships.
P.S. I am absolutely appalled that Chris Pratt has never been in a library. Chris, you have disappointed me.
