A sense of humour can go a long way and Carrie Fisher has it in spades. She opens with a death, by her own admission to get the heavy stuff out of the way quickly, and that is handled with a wonderful helping of gallows humour and dry humour both. If you find laughing at not funny things a hard thing to do you will either hate this for that or learn the skill. I have no problem with such things but even so I was still smiling and laughing out loud and burned through the book in one sitting. As much as you are laughing, and she does want you to, there is a bit of a sting there are you think about what her rehab stays, drug and alcoholism, and the diagnosis of bipolar disorder, would have felt like at the time. Also the toll that ECT has had on her memory.
