Someone on twitter had mentioned this book to give more background as to why a Hollywood actor would have the sexual proclivities that he does so I had to see for myself how bad things were and man were they bad. This is a chilling and at times discombobulated autobiography of a woman related to a man who is currently in the center of his own sex scandal. It's not a five story read but it's not a one story read either. I'm not really sure what to rate this book as. You'll want to cry for Casey and all that she's been through, those of us who have a heart will.
CASEY HAMMER FULL
I honestly do believe her, but we live in a society full of garbage people who either blame the victim, call them a liar or just all together dismiss them and the thought of people doing that to Casey or anyone else who comes out as a survivor of abuse makes me angry. For me, that's the biggest problem with this book, she mentions it several times, how many people will read this and think she's a liar and only wrote this book for the money and that embarrassing her family is just an added bonus. It reminded me about how people said that Mommie Dearest was Christina Crawford's bitter revenge fantasy after finding out she was cut from Joan's will. I felt uncomfortable anytime she brought up not getting her share of the Hammer family money after the deaths of her grandfather and father. Her time line is a jumbled mess, which made it confusing for an idiot like myself. Like the story about her father's crazy ex girlfriend who tore his house up, and tried to kill Casey while wearing a bed sheet like some kind of halloween ghost and the time her brother and father got into a very public fight over her brother's girlfriend. No, I don't want the gory details of her abuse, but what I wanted were more stories of the chaos that made up her childhood. Instead she's surrounded by cruel, abusive, emotionally distant, greedy hateful crazy twats. This is a heartbreaking account of the painful longing of a child/woman who so desperately wanted to feel loved, protected and accepted by the people who should have done so. Then I heard about his aunt Casey's book and bingo! It all made sense. As the allegations got darker I wanted to know what made him like this, how could this seemingly boring asshole be this not right in the head. He would say stupid things to make you think he was socially aware, he let his son suck on his toes and then. I never heard of his asshole family until he shared the story about how he got his stupid name.
He bragged about his wealthy family and how he doesn't take their money, yeah right. For years Hollywood was trying to make some asshole actor with a stupid name happen.
