Shockaholic is a book authored by Carrie Fisher and published in 2011.

Reception

Peter Conrad of The Guardian observed that Fisher's sharp humor and biting commentary do not fully conceal her Hollywood vanity. According to Martin Chilton from The Daily Telegraph, the book is "occasionally humorous" but misses the lively charm Fisher typically brings to her performances, though he did note it offers "insights relevant to today's chaotic world." Will Durst, writing for the San Francisco Chronicle, commended Fisher for her "relentless and clever wordplay." Tasha Robinson of the A.V. Club described Shockaholic as "frequently amusing," particularly in its spontaneous remarks rather than its intentional jokes.
