Leslie F*cking Jones

De: Leslie Jones, Chris Rock - foreword

Narrado por: Leslie Jones, Chris Rock

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER with 5+ hours of bonus material not found in the print version and read by Leslie Jones. AudioFile Magazine awarded the recording an ‘Earphones Award’, saying: “No listener can leave this memoir unaffected as Jones laughs and sobs, sharing the highs and lows, joys and sorrows of her full life.”

Hey you guys, it’s Leslie. I’m excited to share my story with you.

Now, I’m gonna be honest: Some of the details might be vague because a b*tch is fifty-five and she’s smoked a ton of weed. But while bits might be a touch hazy, I can promise you the underlying truth is REAL. Whether I’m talking about my childhood growing up in the South, my early stand-up days driving from gig to gig through the darkest parts of our country and praying I wouldn’t get murdered, what Chris Rock told Lorne Michaels, that time I wanted to shoot Whoopi Goldberg on SNL, and yeah, I’ll tell you all about Ghostbusters and the nudes and Supermarket Sweep and The Daily Show . . . I’m sharing it all here. It’s not easy being a woman in comedy, especially when you’re a tall-*ss Black woman with a trumpet voice. I have to fight so that no one takes me for granted, and no one takes advantage. These are the stories that explain why. (Cue the Law & Order theme.)

Keeping it real!

I loved listening to her memoir. She was honest, f’ing hysterical and shared a great deal of wisdom. I love memoirs that you actually get to know the person and not just their persona. She had an interesting life. It’s filled with joy, laughter, sadness, revelations, tragedy, successes and lots of life lessons. Loved listening to her tell her story .

What fun

Wow. This is surprisingly emotional but equally hilarious. Tender and raw. Jones is an entertaining reader, frequently laughing, crying along with us. Loved it

Amazing!

I laughed and cried - entertaining stories and a beautiful soul. Highly recommend! Love Leslie Jones!

I will make myself undeniable!

Awesome read! I laughed and cried with Leslie Jones. Felt so much of what she spoke about. Very uplifting ride and funny as hell.

Real and Funny

Love the positive message and empowerment. If you enjoy books read as if you are in the room having a conversation not reading a book, this is both poignant and hilarious. Found myself crying and laughing at the same time and feeling inspired to live my life more boldly. Thank you Leslie F’ing Jones!

Engaging, Emotional, & Entertaining

So funny

This was so good! I laughed so much!! I love Leslie’s humor & her vulnerability. This is hands down one of the best audio memoirs I’ve listened to.

Best memoir I have listened to by far

She is so real. She had me laughing, crying and screaming out in anger. She is brave. She shared everything. I loved her as an entertainer before, but I love her as a person now.

Omgoodness!!!!!!!!! I loved this Book!

Listening to this book was like sitting with a wise auntie who put me on game before I got out into the world. Funny, sad, emotional, gut busting hysterical … I felt all the feels. Thank you for this book.
