Tori Spelling Reads Her Fabulous #1 New York Times Bestseller

She was television's most famous virgin -- and, as Aaron Spelling's daughter, arguably its most famous case of nepotism. Portraying Donna Martin of Beverly Hills 90210, Tori Spelling became one of the most recognizable young actresses of her generation, with a not-so-private personal life every bit as fascinating as her character's exploits. Yet years later the name Tori Spelling too often closed -- and sometimes slammed -- the same doors it had opened.

sTORI telling is Tori's chance to finally tell her side of the tabloid-worthy life she's led, and she talks about it all: her decadent childhood birthday parties, her nose job, her fairy-tale wedding to the wrong man, her so-called feud with her mother. Tori has already revealed her flair for brilliant, self-effacing satire on her VH1 show So NoTORIous and Oxygen's Tori & Dean: Inn Love, but her memoir goes deeper, into the real life behind the rumors: her complicated relationship with her parents; her struggles as an actress after 90210; her accident-prone love life; and, ultimately, her quest to define herself on her own terms.

From her over-the-top first wedding to finding new love to her much-publicized -- and misunderstood -- "disinheritance," sTORI telling is a juicy, eye-opening, enthralling look at what it really means to be Tori Spelling.

What Customers Say About sTORI Telling:

At first, I resented the "rich girl" complaining but then, I was encouraged to keep reading as the dysfunction in this family became apparent.

I would recommend this book to anyone that is a fan of Tori's. This is a very interesting look at Tori's life growing up a "rich kid" from HER perspective. I give it a definite 5 stars. If you're not a fan, I would recommend reading the book and you may just find that Tori is a much different, more down to earth person than you may think. It is both comical and at times tear jerking. It is just an honest, down to earth recollection of special times spent with family (especially her father) and also not so special times but memorable just the same.

You have to give her credit for being honest about her life. Her book does explain her estranged relationship with her mother, Candy Spelling. Tori Spelling is one amazing woman. I also have watched her in her current reality series on Oxygen. I read this book from cover to cover after I purchased it today.

That's the most important job any woman can ever do. She does seem to be embracing motherhood very well. For someone who grew up with such wealth, she does seem strangely down-to-earth. I look forward to reading her follow-up book Mommywood. I have never been the biggest Tori fan. I have something really "huge" in common with Tori Spelling. She could have totally spun it differently, but she simply decided to put it out there and you have to respect the girl for that. I guess that's what made this book so real to me.

Something I haven't done in over twenty years. I have to admit that it really made me think of my own estranged relationship with my own mother. Go Tori, go. She really did not sugar coating anything, including her admitted affair with her current husband, Dean. I admit I watched 90210 when it first came out like most teenagers did back then.

I read some of the bad reviews for this book and feel like those people were not reading for insight they were reading to make more judgments. But with perspective she is still thankful for her childhood. There are things she would change if you could but who doesn't. I have really enjoyed reading this book, I have been a fan of Tori's for quite a while. Tori, thanks for taking the time to share your life so openly for us. So I was very interested in ready this book. I enjoy her reality show with her husband dean and their two kids. I must say I was impressed with her impression of her life, talking about all the luxuries that were handed to her but all she really wanted was to be normal.

She really put herslf in the book and after reading it, you feel like you are one of her best friends and that you really know her. I read the book very quickly because I did not want to put it down. I am looking forward to reading her next book, Mommywood and hopefully there will be more to follow. I recently started watching the Tori & Dean reality show and decided to give the book a try after watching about it on the show. I was pleasantly surprised, her writing style is very down to earth, humorous and engaging.
