Review # 1 was written on 2016-06-21 00:00:00 Michael Walls This book was a little old but I'm not looking to get plastic surgery so I wasn't interested in the up-to-date surgical procedures anyway. What I found most interesting was the information about how many scammy, underqualified and unlicensed doctors are running around calling themselves cosmetic surgeons. Thought it was cool that the author asked where the line is drawn between "corrective" and "cosmetic" surgery. Also liked that the author is honest about how people who get elective surgeries are required psych evaluations before and after surgeries. The suicide and depression rates for women who have received plastic surgeries are depressing.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-03-16 00:00:00 Christian Goetz I blame my boyfriend who looks for the worst nonfiction books he can find and brings them home. That's his hobby- to read bad books. And that's the reason why I ended reading this book. I don't know who is this woman and because of that I'm not her fan or hater. In this book Rivers tells about her plastic surgeries and makes excuses why she has done it but mostly she gives advices about plastic surgeries. I don't think it is a shameful thing to consider/do a plastic surgery, but ,honey, don't blame men and don't tell me that Rivers or any other person that has too much plastic surgeries looks great, because that's rubbish! Here is a link that first come up when I googled plastic surgeries gone wrong. And these are only pictures of celebrities (Rivers included) whose operations are not gone terribly wrong they are not left disabled, disfigured or dead. Rivers ties to be funny in this book however to me she sounds as a bitter woman who has a low self esteem and that makes this book depressing. In my opinion, Rivers is a victim of our society that is afraid to age and demands, especially, from the women to look "perfect". However it doesn't excuse her of being sexist and narrow minded. The only good thing, is that I learned from this book, that the most important is how the person feels about themselves if they don't like themselves even 700+ cosmetic surgeries wouldn't be able to make the person happy.
