Product Description
Welcome to Los Angeles, birthplace and residence of Tori Spelling. It’s not every Hollywood starlet whose name greets you on a Virgin Airways flight into la-la land. But Tori Spelling has come to accept that her life is a spectacle. Her name is her brand, and business is booming. Too bad when your job is to be yourself, you can’t exactly take a break. Tori finally has everything she thought she wanted—a loving family and a successful career—but trying to live a normal life in Hollywood is a little weird. With the irresistible wit, attitude, and humor that fans have come to love, the New York Times bestselling author of sTORI telling and Mommywood is back with more hilarious, heartwarming, and candid stories of juggling work, marriage, motherhood, and reality television cameras. Tori comes clean about doing her time on jury duty, stalking herself on Twitter, discovering her former 90210 castmates’ "I Hate Tori" club, contracting swine flu, and contacting Farrah Fawcett from the dead. Like many mothers, she struggles to find balance (Stars, they’re just like us!)—only most women don’t have to battle it out with paparazzi at the grocery store. She talks openly about the darker side of life in the spotlight: media scrutiny over her weight and her marriage to Dean McDermott, her controversial relationship with Dean’s ex-wife, and her unfolding reconciliation with her mother. Having it all isn’t always easy—especially when you’re a perfectionist—but with the help of her unconventional family and friends, an underwear-clad spiritual cleansing or two, and faith in herself, she’s learning to find her happy ending. Because when you’re Tori Spelling, every day brings uncharted terriTORI.*** Just when you thought sTORI time was over, the beloved Hollywood starlet has so much more to say. ***"My life has changed dramatically in the past several years. I married Dean; we moved several times; we had two children; we created a show that has gone into its fifth season on the air. I have love. I have a family. I have a home. I have work. It’s all I ever wished for. But trying to be a perfect wife, mother, and mini-mogul has its challenges, especially if, like me, you want to be perfect at all of them at the same time." —from uncharted terriTORI

 I started with this one.... September 7, 2010
D. Barba (Calverton, NY)
I didn't really have an interest in reading Tori Spelling's books...till I got hooked on her show. Much of reality tv is scripted, no matter what they want you, the viewer, to believe. But the love this woman has for her children is definitely real...and I got lured in.
I picked up this book on a sale and started with it. I went right through it, had no problem getting interested. After I finished, I headed right to my library and picked up the first two.
If you ever wondered why there is so much animosity between Tori and her mother, you will learn the real story by reading her books (I have no doubt she is telling the truth here, there is clearly pain in her words). I considered reading her mom's book, but now have no interest.
She appears to be a real, honest person- silly and quirky with a bit of OCD mixed in. Gotta love her.
Tori's Stories always make me smile! September 7, 2010

I never really had an interest in Tori Spelling until I got a stomach flu one day! I had of course watched 90210, as I was a teenager in the Zack and Kelly era of the 90's. I had stonewashed jeans, a side ponytail, and the obligatory dark lip liner with the plum lipstick. Well one day I was so sick that I could not move...I mean keep a bucket by the bed sick. As I lay there dying, I flipped on thee tv and saw my first episode of Tori and Dean "Inn Love", where they manage a bed and breakfast. I was instantly mesmerized. I ended up watching the entire marathon that whole day, catching up on the whole season. I was addicted, and since then have watched and read anything she has put out. I previously had only seen what was in the media, which had been "eating disorder", "homewrecker", or "90210 diva". For the first time ever, I think Tori was able to get to show the world exactly who she was on her terms. Do I think she is a little neurotic and a hypochondriac...sure...but who isn't? So honestly, I find her books self depreciating, hilarious, supremely honest, and ever so engaging. I think she is charming, and her words come off the page as HER words...and not a ghostwriter hired to make her look good as per her publicist. I stay away from Hollywood trash for the most part...avoiding People and OK magazines like the plague. But to me, Tori spelling is real in a way that we never get to see with other "celebrities". I will patiently wait for whatever she writes next...and I fully believe that she will put out another dozen novels...I am just curious as to how many cute titles she can come up with...Tori only rhymes with so many things!
 Surprisingly Sweet September 3, 2010

So my best friend loves Tori but it took me until recently to try her books. I have read all three and think her first was the best. Uncharted takes second place in my opinion. She really does have an entertaining and flowing style of writing. I found all of the books very down to earth and portrayed her as she probably intended....a real person who faces the same life struggles as most of us. I wouldn't pay full price for any of them though. I intend on continuing to read what she publishes, now I'm stuck waiting for the next one! I love the play on her name in all the titles, very creative.
Tori Tells All Again August 24, 2010

I am an unapologetic Beverly Hills 90210 fan (the original, that is). There, it's out in all its embarrassed and shameful glory. As such, I am also a fan of Tori Spelling as well as her now defunct series So NoTORIous and the current Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood. Don't judge.
I enjoyed Tori's first book, sTORI Telling. I found it to be much like So NoTORIous - - refreshing, able to make light of her own celebrity, laugh at herself and appearing honest. Tori is humorous and it came through in spades with sTORI Telling.
Not so much with this effort. Not that there is anything wrong with Unchartered TerriTORI. The writing style and the tone keep in step with her first tome and there are some very humorous sections in this one, including the opening chapter with Tori on an airplane, headed back to Los Angeles (or better known as "the birthplace of Tori Spelling!").
I liked the portions of the book that dealt with Murray (although keep a tissue handy), with the reliable and beloved Patsy and even the chapter on how Tori's former 90210 co-stars currently feel about her today. Just like high school, indeed.
But truth be told, I could have done without the jab at Mary Jo Eustace, Dean McDermott's former wife. They are divorced, have been divorced, and I think it's high time that Tori refrain from reminding us that Dean left her and the state of their sex life at the time. It makes Tori appear petty and churlish.
And if, like me, you watch Tori and Dean's Oxygen network reality show, much of the book will no surprise to you, as you've already seen it, from the cross country trip in the RV, to Dean's motorcycle accident to Mama Lola. That was likely the biggest disappointment to me - - that the book felt like a rehashing of what was previously aired on Oxygen.
But like her previous efforts, Unchartered TerriTORI was a quick and breezy read, as light as cotton candy and ultimately as filling. The book is a cute read while immersed in it but you might be left thinking that Tori wrote about a whole lot of nothing by the last page.
I would recommend it for Tori Spelling fans and for a light and pleasant beach read but would probably encourage a library rental versus a purchase.
A different take on Tori August 22, 2010
Georganne Lins (orlando, fl)
So, I thoroughly enjoyed the first 2 Tori books. They were not a big escape from the show, but had some additional layers, stories, and were really funny. This book, though amusing and cute, had so much more depth than the others by far. I, too, lost my Dad about a year ago, and am a very hard working Mom, who constantly struggles with the balance that comes with that, and I felt for all of Tori's struggles. How you spend time with the kids when there is work to do? How you work when the kids need you? How does my husband not want to spend the day with the family when he has been away? And what am I going to make for the next school event that will show my love...and be fabulous?
I found myself chocked up, and brought to tears a couple of times, while laughing aloud in between. Great job Tori!
