One of my all time favorites!

Revisado: 07-26-23

The two narrators were outstanding and made the characters come alive. I was so immersed in this story and loved it so much I didn’t want it to end. This is a must read.

Perspective Changing Story

Revisado: 06-09-21

While we hear so much about police shooting and killing black men and women, this tells the side of the story we don’t hear in the media. Star gives voice to the people and communities impacted by this violence. The characters are compelling and so well developed. The narration is outstanding, one of the best I have listened to. This is a must read.

Life changing story

Revisado: 08-19-19

I have tears streaming down my face as I write this review. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Coach Wooden are two remarkable men and this story is beautifully and poignantly told by Abdul-Jabbar. You don’t have to be a basketball fan or even an athlete to enjoy this story. It’s about a man who lived his life simply with love, gratitude and optimism. It will change your life for the better.

Fantastic story and series

Revisado: 01-24-18

I have loved all three books in the series. They are fun and lighthearted. The characters are wonderful and the storyline is clever and engaging. The book is also laugh out loud funny but with serious issues as well. My only issue is I preferred the narrator from the first book over the one who did the second two.

Hilariously wonderful story.

Revisado: 07-05-17

The characters are compelling and absurd at the same time. It is laugh out loud funny but also the relationships and stories are real. I love this series.

Listen to this book!

Revisado: 01-02-16

This book made our long road trip so enjoyable. And after reading her first book, Let's Pretend That Never Happened (which was awesome!) we so looked forward to our recent trip so we could listen to Furiously Happy. This book is immensely entertaining and funny but also very poignant. She talks very honestly about her struggle with mental illness and her message is relevant to everyone. I highly recommended both of her books. And the fact that she performs it makes it so much better.

Wonderful story and beautifully read!

Revisado: 07-26-15

Jenna Lamia and Adepero Oduye were incredible narrators and they made the story come alive. Sue Monk Kidd took two very important historical figures and told their story in a compelling way. The reader was left with a much greater understanding of these women, the time in which they lived and the abolition and women's movements of the 19th C. It was brilliantly done.

Very interesting and informative

Revisado: 04-08-15

I am a high school teacher and coach and I learned a great deal from this book and it had changed they way I teach and coach. What I really liked about the book is how it turned conventional wisdom about leaning on its head. For example he talks about how you have to forget to leave. Meaning that forgetting is an important part of learning new things.

Hilarious and poignant!

A must read if you like humorous books. The language is very adult. I have never heard a memoir like hers before. I highly recommend it.

Another fabulous John Irving novel!

Revisado: 01-30-13

When I first began the book I thought oh this is just like so many other Irving novels but then the plot really developed and took an interesting and very political turn. The characters were wonderful and it was very engaging. I really enjoyed the historical nature of the stroy especially the overview of the AIDs epidemic in the 1980s.
