“He is, without question, one of the most miserable people on the planet. The man has had one of the most amazingly successful careers in rock music, and absolutely none of it makes him happy.” As a staff writer at BuzzFeed, I write about all things celeb, pop culture, and books. Some responses are from this Reddit thread. Editor's note: The Guardian criticized Bossypants for feeling more like a comedy sketch than a memoir, with too many one-liners. Additionally, LitHub said that it "has a truly jaw-dropping number of racist jokes, the white actresses write very little about race." Editor's note: The Guardian criticized Learning to Fly as egotisical and called out the way Victoria wrote about other women, including bandmate Geri Halliwell-Horner. Editor's note: The New York Times criticized Yes, Please for having too much filler, including poorly written jokes, and being boring. Note: Some responses have been edited for length/clarity.
