Not as uplifting/introspective as I had hoped.

Revisado: 02-07-24

Craig has come a long way on the show, but I think that might be for the cameras only. Or perhaps it’s Paige’s influence, but he didn’t discuss their relationship here so I can’t really say. He comes off as very self-centered here, still making excuses for his behavior, but as someone who has ADHD myself, I can cut him a little slack as I understand some of the things, like procrastination that annoy his business partners. He’s also not the greatest narrator, often shouting for no reason which makes it hard to listen to. I’d suggest you save your credit and buy the paperback next time it’s on sale.

Narrator kills it

Revisado: 11-11-23

Seems to be well researched and is likely a book I would have finished in a day or two had I been reading it. Unfortunately, the awful narration ruined it and it took me a few weeks to plod through it. If you’re not in the medical field you’ll likely miss the mispronunciations, but the monotonous tone dulls the delivery. Suggest listening at 1.5x speed.

Moving story, but narration is distracting.

Revisado: 07-28-23

I think this book is better read than listening to because the narrator has an odd habit of flip-flopping the pronunciation of Toph’s name. Sometimes it’s a hard “O”, other times the emphasis isn’t there and it sounds like a completely different name. She does it with a few other words, but it’s most noticeable with his name and quite distracting.

Deeper than I expected.

Revisado: 02-20-23

To be honest I was expecting more Bon Qui Qui and less Anjelah Johnson, but I wasn’t disappointed at all. She’s honest and I loved that she wasn’t afraid to share about when she started to question that once been set in stone regarding her faith and other beliefs.

Listen to the first and last parts and skip the rest

His childhood and the situation with his wife were interesting and enlightening. The rest, not so much. Book could have done with a severe editing.

Not the ending I hoped for.

Revisado: 01-27-23

I knew how it turned out, but I was hoping that would be a positive experience. Tabor/Mata’s owner is really unlikable and I have to question the sanity of someone who loses his cat TWICE and then continues to let her outside. She would have been better off continuing her journey on the road with Michael. I’m glad she came into his life when she did and I hope he’s doing alright.

Read it, don’t listen to it.

Revisado: 01-20-23

This book isn’t the farming memoir I thought it would be and is instead a how-to guide and it’s wonderful, but I suggest reading it rather than listening to it as it is a lot to take in.

Nothing new

Revisado: 01-16-23

I was excited to listen to this after hearing Dr. Kemble on a podcast, but I have to say I was disappointed with this work. There is nothing new here.

You won’t be disappointed.

Revisado: 01-10-23

I have a bad habit of stockpiling books when they’re on sale so I didn’t remember buying it, but I’m glad I did. As a fellow book-loving outcast this book spoke to me on many levels. Though difficult at times, it was a heartwarming listen overall and I appreciate how vulnerable and open he was about struggling with his tics, his family, and his faith.

Not a complete waste of a credit, but a big disappointment

Revisado: 11-29-22

Like many, I first came to know Mr. Perry as Chandler on Friends and then absolutely loved him in The Odd Couple. I was aware of his struggles and wanted to hear his story, but I think it’s probably one that didn’t need to be written. Or at least not until he’s had more time to reflect and heal. He is still very bitter and resentful and it was hard to listen to. My partner has many of the same issues and has struggled greatly to stay sober and I was hoping there might be a sense of hope with this book, something I could take away to help him, but this is nothing but despair. I applaud his efforts at honesty, though I don’t think he is still 100% honest with himself, but this is not a book I will be recommending to anyone.
