I had to stop it halfway through

Revisado: 04-14-21

This book is very good. Very vivid. Written well. I had to stop because of my own fears. Some parts describe a mother's worst nightmare coming true and it was just too much for me. Very upsetting. If you are a tough person then this book is outstanding. I have a ways to go. I'm not that hardened yet.

Self-congratulatory & Corny

Revisado: 03-19-21

I feel like this author had tons of Live, Laugh, Love decor on everything she owns. Although I respect and have reverence for nursing in all of its glory, this was really corny a lot of the time - I found myself with second-hand embarrassment from the platitudes and self-congratulating. The amount of times she brought up that she was "blonde" was pretty cringy; it seems she thinks being blonde is a personality trait. Another thing that stood out was her discussing how she reacted to her mother's breast cancer diagnosis. She said, "I looked in the mirror and noticed how green my eyes were, like a cat's, but with white and red edges" - something to that effect. It was a strange thing to notice and add into a book when discussing something so traumatic and serious. The entire last but of the book is separate letters, to her friends, family, patients, and "future children" - which is basically her talking about how's she's a nurse and how that comes first, but to please admire her for putting them last. I was really disappointed in this book and I wish I could get a refund.

This kept my attention, encouraged me, and inspired me. Some great, brief advice for all of us heading into nursing school. Good luck, everyone!

I am a huge MM fan, but....

Revisado: 02-20-21

This was freaking terrible. It's hard to believe this was written by such a creative and vivid person. I struggled to finish it, but forced myself. It failed to keep my attention, and it had so many desperate grotesque descriptions in place of actual content. There wasn't much content there at all, I don't even know what I just listened to. The narrator also lacked...something. He sounded like a cliché imitation of MM. If I had the chance, I would not have bought this book. Very disappointing.

The information and the narration was amazing and kept my attention the entire book. Go plant-based! For yourself, the animals, and the planet! ✌️

From a non-fan: FIVE STARS, DAAAHLING 🌟

Revisado: 10-19-20

I bought this book because I hoped it would talk about Eminem, but I found myself enjoying it regardless. Mariah Carey brilliantly narrates her life story. Vivid and colorful word choices throughout the book. Paints a great picture of why Mariah is the person she is. There's a little bit of poor-me and a little bit of self-congratulations, but what else would you expect from such a diva? I enjoyed this book and highly recommend. Really entertaining and surprisingly relatable.
