"Hilarious and heartbreaking." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Arngrim, decades past her 'Little House On The Prairie' years, dishes lots of great on-set stories, talks about what being a kid actor in the 1970s was actually like and discusses her own painful family history with frankness and humor....Delightful." — NPR.org
"Spunky Alison Arngrim, who played Nellie [Oleson], gets my kudos...Alison has a knack for yanking people's chains in a good way. And her new bestselling memoir, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch, is such an absorbing read, I just had to give the woman a call for some bitch talk." — Michael Musto, Village Voice
"'Confessions of a Prairie Bitch' says it all: Neither Arngrim nor Nellie could ever be called boring." — Entertainment Weekly

"Alison Arngrim, familiar to a generation of TV viewers as the petulant Nellie Oleson of 'Little House On The Prairie,' is dishing the dirt on Walnut Grove." — AOL PopEater
"Arngrim displays a healthy sense of humor." — Chicago Sun-Times
Arngrim looks back on playing the pint-sized sociopath in her memoir, "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch," in which she merrily recalls show creator and star Michael Landon, that infamous blond wig, and how Nellie inspired her lifelong obsession with villainy." — New York Post
