Product Description
In 1970, after a brief acting career on Broadway and a few spots on various television shows, David Cassidy was catapulted to fame with the success of The Partridge Family. Almost overnight, the 20-year-old reached the pinnacle of teen idol fame as his records sold millions of copies the world over. In this brutally frank autobiography, Cassidy gives a firsthand account of those mind-blowing days of stardom in which being David Cassidy was subjugated to being Keith Partridge. His accounts of sex and excessive drug use explode the myth of the squeaky-clean Cassidy, and tell the true story of how an exhausting tour schedule quickly took its toll. This story reveals how to keep on living and loving when the fickle fans fall away.

 What an Ego February 24, 2010
Jenny J. Richter
The book is interestng only if you watched The Parteige Family. It does repeat alot of what was in the first book, and David still seems obsessed with his penis. I wonder how many STD's he has. I have read alot of music celebrities tell alls, and all of them except maybe Micheal Jackson, appear to spend their free time humping groupies.
 Buyer Beware--This is the 15-Year-Old "C'Mon, Get Happy" With a Few Extra Pages! November 24, 2009
Mediaman (USA)
This may look like a new David Cassidy book but it isn't--it's just a British reissue of the 15-year-old "C'Mon, Get Happy" with a couple dozens pages added near the end. It's just as bad as the original--with Cassidy's ego getting in the way of him truly opening up about himself (at one point near the end he claims he is the "only original American Idol left" now that Elvis and Ricki Nelson have died!).
The only good thing about the book are the quotes from his brothers, who show depth and insight. David keeps saying he wants to reveal the real him--and certainly feels the need to tell his sexual conquest stories--but the new pages near the end give very little new insight into him or what he has done the past 15 years. He slams his wives (including his apparent current wife) and even has something negative to say about his daughter (who tried to be a pop star before heading into acting). He comes across as not a very nice person.
So if you already read "C'Mon, Get Happy" there is no reason to pick this up. If you didn't read the original book, you'll come away from this disappointed in the man David Cassidy was and has become.
 Same old story but a new cover March 17, 2009

This is a reprint of a 10 year old book called, "C'mon Get Happy". Moderately interesting only for David Cassidy fanatics. Why try to pass off a decade old book as new? Trying to make an extra bunk no doubt. Oh, the book has been modified slightly and the sex toned down. it reads like a movie on the Lifetime channel. In fact, wasn't it a movie on Lifetime?
Cassidy is a whiny sort of character with few redeeming qualities. He when through his Partridge Family bank roll like it was water and ended up a drugged out has been. You know what they say, "The higher they climb..."
 Couldn't put it down February 27, 2009

The first concert I ever attended was a David Cassidy concert when I was 10 or 11 years old. I was too young then to understand the "big picture", but this book sure filled me in. It was honest, insightful and interesting. I have read lots of autobiographies, and I applaud Mr. Cassidy for being so candid and revealing. It cleared up a lot of myths I had heard over the years. I could not put it down...an easy, fun read for anyone who liked David Cassidy at any time in their life.

An open letter to David Cassidy,
Dude,
Yes, you WERE popular because A. You could sing. B. You were a good looking guy C. There is no C or D, E, F,,,,,etc, The PF was a mediocre show and you were a terrible actor. The Brady's were much funnier and more loved. In the case of PF--it was all about the music and your looks (and to some degree the comic talents of a ten year old red head).
I don't care how many more members were in your fan club than in Elvis's--you ain't and never were Elvis, or the Beatles or Stones, or Elton or Rod....you are a tiny footnote in music history--you were a pop idol with one talent (singing)--nothing wrong with that but you really seem to think you were something more... and you ruin your singing talent now as you don't sing as much as you over emote --your ego comes through every note so it's unlistenable.
You may have quit the life shortly after you peaked but newsflash: Your five minutes were up anyway--teens grow up. Intelligent teen idols (see your half brother for a great example) move on, do something else and make a life for themselves. They don't rip off their former fans by repackaging a book they already bought and telling them it's new. You are a fraud, which is kind of sad. Lord knows I STILL love most of those PF CDs as well as your first 3 solo CDs(95% of which were written by others), but after that, it gets pretty sad.
For the love of GOD--GET A SENSE OF HUMOR and stop taking your "career" so seriously. And don't ever rip off your remaining fans again. You really come acress as egomanic who just needs to get over himself.
Best Wishes
Shaun
