Me

Good but not great

Reviewed: 12-08-24

Definitely not as good as the first but still entertaining. I found myself annoyed by ST and his obsessive relationship with Dee. The ending also seemed a bit rushed and left me with the, “that’s it?” All that said, it was a good listen and the reading is phenomenal.

Amazing!!!

Reviewed: 01-15-23

This was my second time through this amazing story, 30 years after reading for the first time as a teenager. It didn’t disappoint and Kate Reading’s performance is nearly flawless. It’s a commitment at 50 hours but oh…is it so worth it.

Nice enough story but….

Reviewed: 07-17-22

Great narration and admirable strength for feeling her story. Was hoping it would be more about the struggles with ‘why me’ from a theological and religious perspective. Instead it was just more of a play-by-play for her cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment. Certainly not to downplay her struggle or medical condition at all but sadly, nothing particularly unique in the story.

Enormous respect

Reviewed: 11-13-19

I cannot say enough about Hillary Clinton. She is an inspiration for not only all women but also every human being on this planet. I applaud her work and her dedication to public service. Profiling the women in this book only proves even more how much of a champion she is. It’s also so nice to see Chelsea following in the enormous footsteps of her mother. Mad respect!!

Probably better to read

Reviewed: 10-03-19

I just did not care for this. I struggled to get through it and thought that I would give up several times but each time, I powered through. I think the biggest thing was that the story was so hard to follow listening. It jumps around and incredibly hard to follow. The authors narration, which I’m usually a big fan of, was also rather distracting. Her voice was so sweet but with the number of characters and jumping timeline, it really was hard to distinguish who was speaking or what was happening because it all seemed the same. Sadly, I was just left underwhelmed.

Tyler, I love you but...

Reviewed: 07-20-19

First off, I think Tyler Oakley should be admired and respected for what he’s done in his career. 100% I was never a viewer of his YouTube and had only sort of heard of him until he and Cory were on The Amazing Race. I loved them and cheered them on both times they ran. But, while I love his wit and humor and sassiness and shade and overly gayness for the sake of showing off his proud overly gayness, outside of small doses is sooooooo obnoxious. I almost stopped listening a couple of hours in. The rambling annoying story that seems to have no point (especially the part with the shit at the beginning) makes you think, “What the hell am I listening to? And why??” Fortunately, I powered through and stuck with it. There’s some decent interpersonal detail that everyone, gay or otherwise, can relate to. There’s some nice little life nuggets mid way through and on that make listening to the blah blah blah near the beginning slightly worth it. I still love you, T. But, like shots of booze, I just need you in smaller doses.

Amazing story of an amazing woman

Reviewed: 06-28-19

As a proud democrat who respects the office of the presidency so much and those who hold it (outside of 45’s shameful term), I’ve always admired the Bush’s. Barbara was the backbone of that ‘dynasty’ and Ms. Page did a fantastic job of accounting for the amazing woman Barbara was. Ms Levy’s narration, however, was almost painful. The tone was very monotone and much to ‘historical’ - it needed more emphasis on emotion to really convey what was being told about Mrs. Bush. Her reading wasn’t bad, per se, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re tired and there’s a chance to fall asleep.

Ugh - I’m sad I finished it. I loved this and was such a great performance by Karen and Georgia (...and Georgia’s dad...AND PAUL!!!). Even got a little Elvis at the end. I loved all of this and the stories shared - I’m even looking forward to picking up the hardcopy!

Garbage

Should have stayed away. Nothing new here. Sensational hype. Save your credit on something more stimulating.
