Gilmore Girls is one of the best contemporary TV shows I’ve ever seen, and I used to be quite addicted to watching them.

So I needed to read this memoir by the co-star of the show, Lauren Graham.

I can’t imagine anyone not liking this lady. She is so authentic, on set and off set. She feels so… normal. Fame definitely did not turn her into someone she isn’t. I admire that.

In this non-fiction book, she talks a little about her upbringing, college years, first auditions, first jobs in the mundane w ...more

I love Lauren Graham!

I loved her in Gilmore Girls most of all! Duh. And I also loved her in Parenthood. But Gilmore Girls takes the cake, the old and the new! Woot!

I loved hearing stories about when Lauren was a child like living on the houseboat. I would loved to have seen that in real life! She has a lot of different stories that go back and forth from now and then. It was a little confusing at times but I guess that's why it's called a book of essays!

So Lauren Graham basically IS Lorelai Gilmore :)

It was so much fun to read her short diary-type entries of the experience of filming the revival and to hear other bits of Gilmore Girls history. I wasn't as into some of the other parts of the book, but her writing was consistently upbeat and hilarious! It really sounded like Lorelai was just telling you about her day in a casual yet super caffeinated conversation.

My one-sentence summary: Lauren Graham’s personality shines through a lot here, and that’s delightful, but she doesn’t really explore much of anything with any real depth, and that’s disappointing.

I came to Gilmore Girls late, even though I’m in the exact age bracket to have grown up with it.

I came to Gilmore Girls late, even though I’m in the exact age bracket to have grown up with it. My parents didn’t have cable so I couldn’t watch the WB and by the time I got to college, where many of my friends loved the show, I found it a little off-putting. Part of that was because it wasn’t really a show I could jump into midway and feel connected to, part of it was that I can be a bit of a snob when it comes to discovering things—I love things when I discover them at my own pace, but I sometimes have a hard time loving them when I feel like they’re foisted on me. And there was also a part of me that, as a huuuuuge Aaron Sorkin fan, felt like the fast-pace dialogue didn’t work as well as everyone else said it did. And so I just kind of wrote it off. I had plenty of other obsessions to indulge in.

I don’t really know why I decided to give the series another go when it debuted on Netflix last year, but I did. Part of it was my husband’s influence (he loved the show the first time around), part of it was the loud resurgence of internet love for the show that hadn’t really existed until the Netflix debut was announced. And part of it was just a desire to go back and reassess things that I knew I might have been previously too quick to dismiss.

So I watched the show for the first time at 31 and I liked it enough that it’s still in heavy rotation as mindless binge-watch material, but I also formed opinions of the show that many fans-since-teens seem to hate: Luke and Lorelai are better off as just friends; Rory dropping out of Yale was an interesting plot turn; April Nardini wasn’t that bad; and I’m not sure I will ever understand why members of Team Jess are so willing to forgive how terrible he was to Rory in seasons 2 and 3. #sorrynotsorry

All that’s to say that I really got swept up in revival fever and this book is definitely timed to play into that frenzy. But there wasn’t as much substance here as I really wanted. She fills most of the book with obligatory chapters on how aging in Hollywood sucks and too many people just want to know her fitness regimen and—in what seems to be becoming a requirement for celebrity memoirs—how her editor kept hounding her to get her draft in on time and how she didn’t really have time to do that.

The chapters on her youth and her time in summer stock were fine, but it often felt like she was just summarizing events without really taking the time to flesh things out. Ditto the first Gilmore chapter: she rewatched all 7 seasons and briefly commented on her hair and how hunky the guys were. I don’t feel like I really got a strong sense of her feelings about the process, what it was like working with her costars, or anything like that. There was a little bit more about her time on Parenthood and how the relatively light schedule allowed her to write her book, but I was really disappointed that she doesn’t go into more depth on her relationship with Peter Krause.

Disclaimer: my husband and I once had a lengthy debate about which celebrity couple we’d most like to have an orgy with and Lauren and Peter were among the top finishers. Mostly because Peter could introduce me to Josh Charles and Lauren could introduce him to Alexis Bledel, but still…I have all the heart eyes in Sports Night season two-era Peter Krause.

I know that you don’t necessarily want to tell everything about your relationship in your memoir. Yes, by all means feel entitled to your privacy, but at least give us something to understand why this relationship has lasted or what you’ve learned from it. Especially if you were kind of known for your extended single streak. I mean, what’s the point of doing a celebrity memoir if you aren’t going to get a little dishy?

The best part of this book, by far, was her reflections on doing the Gilmore revival. I actually found myself wishing that they had been published as an independent piece somewhere on the internet—I really would have been happy reading just that and nothing else.

I think many fans are going to have fun reading this book, and it’s a perfectly find way to spend an afternoon. If you love Lauren’s personality, it definitely shines through here. I feel like people especially find the audio book to be a fun experience. I just found myself wanting more than this one had to offer.

There were a few cool behind the scenes info about her tv shows but nothing you can't find from interviews.

I will be totally honest. I read 99.8 % fiction. Reading for me is an escape, a chance to travel from the comfort of my home. When I select a book outside the realm of fiction, it is more often than not a history book surrounding an event or era. So why did I listen to Talking As Fast As I Can? Gilmore Girls.

I'm a pretty solid fan of Gilmore Girls, but have previously felt disappointed in realizing that neither Lauren Graham nor Alexis Bledel are the characters they play in that show. Not quite as intelligent, and definitely not as well-read. I know, Gilmore Girls is a rapid-talking idealized landscape, but one I think I prefer to escape to without the grounding in reality.

A chance to read about all of the behind-the-scenes goodies from the original run of the show, how everyone got cast, funny anecdotes and heartwarming stories about each of the cast members, etc. While we get that to some extent in the final chapter that includes diary entries from her time on the revival, the chapter about the original Gilmore Girls run was highly disappointing. Instead of a chapter that provided stories that only Lauren Graham could tell, she decided to rewatch all seven seasons and provide glib remarks about what she saw. "Can you believe I wore so much blue eyeshadow? What was I thinking!" "Wow, Rory's boyfriends are hunky. I can see why teams formed!" It felt like a whole lot of meaningless fluff. I'm sure I could go online and find a hundred different blogs from fans who could make those exact same observations. If she wants to go through and commentate on the 7 seasons of the show, fine, but that should be used as a framing device to provide memories with a bit more substance. If she can't remember anything, then she should've asked her publicist to pull from old interviews she did during the time and just try to jazz them up a bit. Given the subtitle of the book and the timing of when it was released, the Gilmore Girls chapters are, I'm sure, the most highly anticipated ones by the fans. And while the revival chapter was much improved, the lack of interesting material about the original series almost made me not want to finish. (For goodness sake, there was more substance in the chapter about her guest judge role on Project Runway than about Gilmore Girls. Really?)

The most distinct part about the book was Lauren's voice throughout. If you've ever seen her on a talk show, you know that she's adorably flighty but brilliant, jumping from one thought to the next in a flustered, giggly way that somehow never makes her look like a bimbo but just that her thoughts race much faster than the conversation can keep up with. That same quality shines through in the book, which at times can be delightful and at other times can be a detriment to the quality of the book. The tone works really well when she's talking about her superficial observations about Hollywood, weight loss, her many years of singledom, etc., but can border on annoying when it seems like we're about to dig in with a specific story about Parenthood or her friends or Gilmore Girls. When I read Amy Poehler's autobiography, some of my favorite sections were when she would dig in and spend a paragraph talking about how she saw a person in her life. She'd mention a few unique characteristics, where she met them, what they mean to her today, and so on. Even though I knew who Adam Scott was (or at least who he portrays himself to be from what I've seen on TV), seeing him from her perspective fleshed out his character in the context of the book. It's a basic guideline for any book: introduce your characters. Maybe it was because Lauren was in such a rush to finish this on time, but I feel like that part completely got overlooked. Everyone flits in and out of her story without any formal introduction, and although I know who Amy and Dan are and I know that she's close to her Parenthood children, it feels like these are only wisps of individuals with nothing solid to grab onto. The closest we come to getting something substantial is on the chapter where she discusses her boyfriend, Peter Krause, but even there, the descriptions seem superficial. I know now that he's really into the outdoors, but I know nothing about why, after all of her years of success as an independent woman, he was the one that was special enough to include in her life. And it's not like I'm looking for sordid details, but I've only seen about half a season of Parenthood. I don't know anything about him. He's just "guy dating Lauren who loves the outdoors." It's hard to feel any sort of emotional connection over that.

The final few chapters were quite strong. I loved that she included some diary entries from her time on the revival set, and her reaction to the final four words were hilarious and reflected my thoughts as well. The chapter that talked about writing was interesting too, though mostly because the several pages of writing advice she had received from a mentor of hers were quite good and something I might refer to.

(Side note: she makes a weird observation in this chapter about how after she wrote her novel, people were a bit skeptical that she had written it herself. She tries to blame this on misogyny. And look, I think there are a lot of hurdles women need to overcome to get ahead in the world, and society is structured to benefit the patriarchy most of all. But people weren't skeptical of her book because she's a woman. They were skeptical because she was an actress who never published a book before and was writing a book that seemed loosely biographical. Pretty much any famous Hollywood actor or actress could "write" a book and get it published because publishers know that the name recognition alone will sell enough books to justify the cost of publication. Ghost writing is common, and many actors and actresses can "write" a book without writing a book. It's great that she did it herself, but the skepticism is justified--and has nothing to do with the fact that she's a woman.)

Overall, I'm disappointed. I love Lauren, and there are certainly parts that are enjoyable because she seems like such a gem of a person, but this book was way too rushed and lacks the insight and depth I was hoping for. ...more

“But life doesn’t often spell things out for you or give you what you want exactly when you want it, otherwise it wouldn’t be called life, it would be called vending machine.” — 24 likes

“What with your phone and the Xbox and the taxi TV and that music player you wear on your arm and the headphones that look like donuts on your ears, doesn’t it make life so much smaller? If absolutely everything important is only happening on such a small screen, isn’t that a shame? Especially when the world is so overwhelmingly large and surprising? Are you missing too much? You can’t imagine it now, but you’ll look like me one day, even though you’ll feel just the same as you do now. You’ll catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and think how quickly it’s all gone, and I wonder if all the time you used watching those families whose lives are filmed for the television, and making those cartoons of yourselves with panting dog tongues, and chasing after that terrible Pokémon fellow…well, will it feel like time well spent?” — 14 likes
