Audio Book Summary

Actor Rob Lowe's memoir presents a wryly funny and surprisingly moving account of an extraordinary life lived almost entirely in the public eye.

A teen idol at fifteen, an international icon and founder of the Brat Pack at twenty, and one of Hollywood's top stars to this day, Rob Lowe chronicles his experiences as a painfully misunderstood child actor in Ohio uprooted to the wild counterculture of mid-seventies Malibu, where he embarked on his unrelenting pursuit of a career in Hollywood.

The Outsiders placed Lowe at the birth of the modern youth movement in the entertainment industry. During his time on The West Wing, he witnessed the surreal nexus of show business and politics both on the set and in the actual White House. And in between are deft and humorous stories of the wild excesses that marked the eighties, leading to his quest for family and sobriety.

Never mean-spirited or salacious, Lowe's Stories I Only Tell My Friends delivers unexpected glimpses into his successes, disappointments, relationships, and one-of-a-kind encounters with people who shaped our world over the last twenty-five years. These stories are as entertaining as they are unforgettable.

    Surprisingly candid, entertain, witty, and down-to-earth; Rob Lowe successfully draws the listener in with his "boy next door" charm mixed with stories of his slow but successful rise to chilhood and teenage came, but doesn't forget the things that brought him full circle and have kept him one of the most likeable and still sexy men in Hollywood today. This was a fantastic listen. Reading it without hearing it narratedcby Rob would have really lacked the passion behind the stories. Such an enjoyable, but informative autobiography.

    Rob Lowe has the best voice for an audiobook. The way he tells his stories are clear, funny and like he was born to tell stories. It's interesting to hear about how he gree up and his experiences in with the industry. I believe every Actor in Hollywood can relate and every Actor can relate to his feelings being an Actor.

    This is my second audio book choice and I'm pleased to report I wasn't disappointed! Engaging, thought provoking, humorous, emotional and insightful, I particularly loved 'The Outsiders' chapters which I studied as part of my English course during my school years, I was hooked and found it hard to press stop! Thank you for taking me away from my mind numbing commute into London each morning Mr.Lowe...I'm going to miss your company. Your determination to succeed, but also knowing when to just enjoy the moment and those around you, has given me new direction in my life and current cross-road career dilemma. I leave this experience, with a list of films I can't wait to watch and re-watch, feeling a better, more courageous person and someone ready to take on a challenge, no matter how daunting it may be! Overall a wonderful listen that will have you smiling, thinking and crying (last chapter in particular).
