Heartbreakingly Beautiful

No joke, this is probably my favorite book of the past couple of years. The narrator reading this clearly experienced every word. Ripped my heart out. AWESOME!

Hilarious. Heartbreaking. Amazing.

Have you listened to any of Scott McClanahan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is hands down Scott McClanahan's best work yet. Loved Crapalachia, but The Sarah Book is on another level.

Best Book Of The Year, Hands Down

Any additional comments?

Scott McClanahan is an American treasure. I read the print book too but him reading it is the only way to go.

A Voice You Can't Ignore

McClanahan's writing is funny and raw and I loved The Sarah Book. My other family members, on a long car trip, didn't agree.

A(n) (Anti)Love Story That Shook Me To My Core

This book is so powerful and raw. I have read it and listen to it and I believe hearing Scott's Appalachian drawl makes the story that much more beautiful. This is not the kind of book I usually read but it's tormenting entertaining.
