Historia
In this spirited account, Billie Jean King details her life's journey to find her true self. She recounts her groundbreaking tennis career - six years as the top-ranked woman in the world, 20 Wimbledon championships, 39 grand-slam titles, and her watershed defeat of Bobby Riggs in the famous "Battle of the Sexes". She poignantly recalls the cultural backdrop of those years and the profound impact on her worldview from the women's movement, the assassinations and anti-war protests of the 1960s, the civil rights movement, and, eventually, the LGBTQ+ rights movement.

Authentic storytelling inspiring – excellent!
Revisado: 03-08-24
As auto biographies go, this listen was excellent. I love the way that Billie Jean King weaved her life of Tennis with her political and social activism. The peace is heartfelt and in many cases of the Audible version of the book is better than the written copy because we understand BJK’s emotion as she describes the things she does the people she loves and causes she stands for.

Historia
Here is a gripping, behind-the-scenes look inside the classic suspense shocker Psycho - and the creative genius who revolutionized filmmaking. First released in 1960, Psycho altered the landscape of horror films forever. But just as compelling as the movie itself is the story behind it. Stephen Rebello brings to life the creation of one of Hollywood’s most iconic films, from the story of Wisconsin murderer Ed Gein, the real-life inspiration for the character of Norman Bates, to Hitchcock’s groundbreaking achievements in cinematography, sound, editing, and promotion.

Solid but Narrator mispronounces names
Revisado: 05-12-22
Terrific book. Very well written and informative. However, the narrator as decent as he is mispronounces the screenwriter Joe Stefano's name as Stef-eno as does he mispronounced Louella Parsons as Lula and Adrian Lyne as Adrian Linn. Disconcerting to those who know. Overall, a great listen and a terrific resource to the making of an iconic film.

Lazy Narrator
Revisado: 09-26-21
The book is fantastic and the narration is not bad except the narrator was lazy and miss pronounces so many names. It’s embarrassing. All he had to do was do a little research and figure out how peoples names are pronounced. Took me out of the story many times.

McEnroe's But Seriously is truly a wonderful book. He mixes tennis with life lessons into a beautiful concoction of storytelling. Funny, emotional, truthful and revealing, each page was as they say a movable feast.
