For Sam Shepard Fans

Revisado: 10-23-19

The bad reviews lead me to believe that most downloaded this simply because it was free and featured GOT’s Kit Harrington. Thing is, TRUE WEST isn’t likely the best entry point for Sam Shepard’s canon of work.

While I loved this rendition, I only recently saw the live Ethan Hawke/Paul Dano version on Broadway and I was hoping for a bit of a difference in their interpretations, but there were points where I honestly couldn’t have discerned whether it was Flynn or Hawke (obviously knowing it was Flynn, but their voice and intonations were THAT similar).

Good listen overall, but not recommended if you’re not already familiar with Shepard’s work or looking for a very Americana take on Cain & Abel.

How Many “Uhm” Can One Book Have?

Revisado: 10-22-19

This is a professional recording, this is supposed to be an edited book. Why in the world would you ever allow the “Kate” chapter with a solid 25% of the content being “Uhm” or “Like.” It sullies the surrounding content and I take the overall less seriously - this subject is too important for it to be packaged so poorly.

Moving. At the cellular level, this book can change hearts. Read it. Gift it.

Revisado: 12-19-18

Her voice calm and steady, her stories painted with every brush and color in her kit, this was a deeply humbling and uplifting portrait of a woman given tremendous opportunities, but that came at such costs. It’s a portrait of an America we love and one that still scares many of us. It was the passion of a mother and a wife for her family, with the fortitude and insights of a professional with hard earned achievements.

With gratitude for the time and emotion she put into this book, I thank Mrs. Obama. Bravo.

Stick It Out - Gets Better As You Go

Revisado: 12-09-18

Admittedly I thought I was going to give up on this one. It started slow and and the lab rats droled on longer than I could muster to care about, but 3.5 hours in I was completely consumed with the stories and relevance of her data. Great read once you get past some of the more collegiate text.

An Exercise in Suppressed Rage

Revisado: 11-26-18

What began as a hopeful look at the circus mirror that is fame from someone who survived it quickly became a manifesto of rage and mud slinging rife with insecurities.

For as much as Bateman tried to proclaim this wasn’t a memoir, this sure was a litany of personal grievances and “what happened to me” stories that relied on expletives to fill a good third of the book.

Disappointing to say the least. I’d looked for this at my library and they didn’t carry it so I caved to buy the Audible copy. I respect anyone who goes beyond the pigeonhole, and I was eager to read her thoughts on that same idea, but instead this was a diatribe of vitriol toward fans, fellow celebs, media and basically anyone who had ever so much as taken an interest in her work.

Good, Really Funny. Listen with your boo.

Revisado: 10-19-18

Love their back and forth but wish I knew of this differed from the book (because it was just SO conversational) or if it was spot on. Loved it either way.

Everyone Must Read

Revisado: 10-10-18

Not because of the natural gift Noah has for writing and then narration, but because this is one of those books that makes the world smaller, more accessible, more relatable and people become more than people.

The stories were compelling, and while I often felt like crying, Noah is so well versed and so focused on ensuring the full story emerges, no tears fell. His words were comfort and clarity through the emotion.

Incredible read and I’m grateful for the experiences shared.

Yes, Y’all, Yes!!!

Revisado: 09-20-18

I’m so, SO glad I opted for this on Audible instead of print - you still get the PDF of recipes and whatnot, but oh my heavens is it a joy to hear Reese relive her fondest of memories and share such stories with love and joy in her own voice and that accent. This is such a quickie - I devoured it while, of all things, prepping food for a little get together, and I KID YOU NOT, my friends all left yammering about how great of a host I had been!

Just when Reese Witherspoon seems like an already unimaginable force of nature, she goes and adds this book into the mix - but I promise you, it’ll make you feel all the more like we’re in this together.

This book was that “laughter through tears” kind of heart warming joy - literally, I bawled my eyes out listening to her talk about her love for Dolly Parton, cuz SAME.

You’re gonna love this and I’m so grateful for all the wisdom and laughs packed into this one little listen.

Might Listen to this Monthly

Revisado: 08-24-18

Short enough, but most importantly, concise and critical at every turn. Really great information that, if it gets into your psyche and you act on these suggestions bit by bit, you’re going to be super human. Amazing.

Should Have Read This Sooner!

Revisado: 08-11-18

It’s an unfortunate, but very realistic truth telling about corporate America without any fluff. All helpful and succinct advice.
