This is my favorite book in the series by far! I finished it in only 3 days. The story was so captivating, and Beverly Lewis' attention to detail was as always, was incredible! I identified so much with Jenny's character.
This is a must read for any Beverly Lewis fan!

I have to admit, this book started slow for me...I started to doubt all of the reviews but, I kept on listening and I am so glad that I did! I now understand the slowness I felt at the beginning. I believe it was meant to really make you feel what Aleena and Alice feel. The repetativeness that I heard made it so much easier for me to be transported to Poland during the war, or with Alice who I already related to in the Mom life department. I can't say much more, I don't want to spoil it for anyone! I will say however, once that "need" to know the next thing kicked in I couldn't find enough opportunities to listen. I was so engrossed I would tune out everyone and everything around me.
I would absolutely recommend this book over and over.
I'm now going to start "Before I Let You Go" . I am optimistic for another great read. Kelly Rimmer is now a stand out for me!
I'm sad that it's over....

I wanted to like this. I wanted to gain a clearer understanding of my studies on Freud and all areas of his study. I actually may have, but I absolutely could NOT get past the narration. The monotony in his speech caused me to be in thought so far from the book, I'd have to go back again and again to find a place I could actually recall hearing to try and get back to the books content...
I wouldn't suggest it!
It also has such an aire of this nose up, "intellectuals only" sense. So to present with such an inauthentic narration (not having any knowledge of your audience) and then to only suffocate the listener is just irritating.

I looked forward to this book. I watch Trevor Noah, and just laugh. My teenage daughter heard this book was great, so I bought it thinking we would both enjoy it.
Um...yeah, nope! Having gone to South Africa, and living there for several months volunteering for the huge number of orphans that became orphans from the HIV and Aids epidemic. Naturally, knowing much about its history and the reality of the cultural divide was a draw for me as well.
This was instead a jumble of bits and pieces of his life. No clear timeline, and I literally could not listen to it for more than a few minutes or force myself through a chapter at a time! The swearing just is everywhere! E...V...E...R...Y...WHERE! I would get lost trying to sort through the randomness and still try to listen without trying to figure out the need for so much foul language. But it was impossible. Why? Why, in order to tell what probably would have been an otherwise light hearted and fun to hear story did they all have to be littered with so much cursing.
I feel like to explain this would be beating a dead horse, but it truly was ridiculous. It all made me see him in a new light, which is too bad...I barely watch him on TV anymore, I don't enjoy it. I try, but I can't.
Using that language, the constant cursing only comes across as unintelligent, and lacking in it's ability to share what could be inspiring and an eye opening teaching tool (with all that the truth of "Being Born A Crime" is to the country) while still being funny and entertaining!

I really was very disappointed!

And! I feel the need to make clear, I don't mind occassionally hearing the cursing, it seems that it is part of any comedian these days, almost expected. But to this excess? No, I'm sorry, I'd never be able to enjoy the story that I suppose is there somewhere...buried under all the F bombs and S***!!! He yells it so much. And the rest of them.

Too bad......
