Usless!!!

Revisado: 03-04-21

This book is the equivalent of "Full story at 6:00" She is always telling you what she intends to tell you in chapter 5 or 6 etc. It is so repetitive, I thought something was wrong with my playback.

The new science as the title suggests just never really got there for me.

Everything you already knew but still......

Revisado: 01-25-21

Mary Trump has summed up everything we all already knew about Donald Trump but it was fascinating to hear her first-hand account of the evolution of his mental illness. There are many, many incredibly successful families in this world and most of the time, there seems to be some major disfunction within. The Trump's are a prime example of this and Mary's account of growing up in this family is both sad and enlightening.

Just lisiten

I really love Mathew McConaughey as an actor and I may love him even more as a writer. He's brilliant, the story is brilliant and I can't wait for his next chapter to show up on the page. He may just be our next Faulkner.

If you think you've heard it all, you haven't

Revisado: 10-26-20

Yes, it's all things you already know about this megalomaniac but it's so much more. Woodward is a genius to get Trump to tell him all these very private details but then again, when you are convinced you are God, you truly believe you will come out smelling like a rose no matter what. Well sorry Trump, you did not.

Jost is so real!

Revisado: 10-26-20

With that perfect face and hair, you would expect a cleaned up memoir but no! I'm sure he didn't tell all but what he does divulge is pretty damn embarrassing. I have yet to read a behind the scenes, SNL memoir that disappointed and this one is no exception. This show is a gruelling life and it takes a toll on all who do it. Jost is coming to his end there and I am disappointed but he has so much more to give. Can we wish for a sitcom with him and Leslie Jones? Yes, please.

Charming

Revisado: 09-13-20

If you like a heartwarming story ( no drama here) then you will like this book. Neil’s performance is brilliant and his love story is uplifting. I’ve never seen an episode of how I meet your mother but maybe now, I’ll check it out.

Everything you want in a summer listen

Revisado: 08-12-20

John Hodgman is the kind of celebrity I always say is the best kind. He can probably go anywhere and not get hounded by fans but is still very successful. I was listening to this book as I was packing up my home of 35 years where we raised our children. His position of not making your home a graveyard was inspiring as I was trying to decide what to keep and what to trash.
This book was both funny and sad but, I felt refreshed when it was over.

Did anyone bother to edit this book?

Revisado: 08-03-20

First of all, this is a very important book for all women to listen to. It is a guide for how NOT to let yourself be controlled by a man. However, it is so poorly arranged and repetitive, I kept checking to see if I had accidentally skipped ahead or re-wound.
At first, I thought I'd give her a pass because she is open about her ADHD but then, you realize she had a professional writer write it for her!

Another example of the evil of some religions

Revisado: 07-20-20

I have read many books on Scientology and find the topic fascinating. It never ceases to amaze me how bright, talented people who are so successful in life get sucked into these cults. If you can't see through a religion that expects large payments for status in the church and come into your home at all hours begging for money, then maybe you deserve the loss of money and pride.
Also, I was confused as to why she refers to her girlfriend as Charlie when her real name is Tena Clark and like many readers, I am not convinced she was innocent of the Ponzi scheme but, she was blind to the misdeeds of Scientology so maybe she is just had her head in the sand.
All that said, the book is worth a read or a listen.

Very unsatisfactory ending

Revisado: 07-17-20

You would think after 21 hours, there would be some closure or clarification to what happened to the true mastermind behind the final killing. This book never explains why he was never charged in this case. You can assume money and power but this is never really explored. The narrator was so bland and matter of fact that it sounded more like a news report than a passionate true crime murder. I wouldn't wast a credit or your time.
