Revisado: 02-09-24

i have no idea who this woman is or what her company does, i just bought this based on the other reviews and oh my god i loved it. not only is her story heartbreaking and beautiful but her insights on saving money and surviving this hellscape are actually modern and based in facts. Its so refreshing to see one of these books actually written by someone whos been thru it and not some old guy. buying the physical copy too im hooked

Feels like they lost the plot

I came here to learn about writing slaughter house 5. I got that in tiny chunks but then a lot about ptsd and the advances in diagnosing that. I’m not saying that is a bad thing, I’m glad I learned about it but that’s not what I was looking for in this book. But oh well

Don’t waste your time

Revisado: 10-13-22

So so boring this book is an insane persons look at what to do with your extra time and money. Nothing like a whole book who’s thesis statement only works in a vacuum as in if you have no job and money is not an issue. What a waste of time, oh I should rethink how I spend my time?! What a brave new concept

Don’t listen to these babies

Yeah I have no Ill will against Stan Lee, I honestly don’t care that much about marvel, but to see all these reviews just bashing this book for saying something mean or using the word “allegedly” a lot is bonkers. Yes this book can be harsh and sad but if you left this just thinking, “that author was biased and clearly hated Stan” you’re missing the point. The author makes it very clear his intent from the beginning is to humanize the mega myth that was Stan Lee, he takes on a bunch of different sides to stories and facts about marvel because like he said in the book, there was so many different stories and Stan himself would change stories as he got older. This book is complicated, like the man. It’s not a hit piece, it’s an honest book that talks about a man who had flaws, knew how to sell himself, and was surrounded by bad people in the end. It’s a sad honest look that yes can sound harsh but that comes with Demystifying someone so legendary as Stan and if you just see this as a biased hit piece you seriously need media literacy classes. Only note is the narrators voice sounded like a theater kid reading a monologue in his “this is very serious” voice
