An amazing and inspiring story

Revisado: 06-04-22

I found this book amazing and I really love Julia through this book. Her mind and tenacity are an inspiration for even those of us who were born and raised in the free and modern world. I would have liked to have read a book like this when I was a teenager. it is a lesson for every woman...and men could learn so much from this book about women too.

For the naysayers out there who claim her life story is a lie are probably people who are trying to knock her back down to her former slave status...how dare a woman want more?. Many religions are structured to keep women down and are so afraid of what they can do once they discover their power. No one is going to keep Julia Haart down. it's a shame that her former community is full of people, male and female, who have no idea about the modern world around them. Very sad and heartbreaking to see so many minds wasted this way.

I recommend this book to anyone with an open mind who loves reading a rags to riches story like Julia Haart's. You go girl!

Both boys are a national treasuee

Revisado: 11-19-21

This book took me back to many memories in my life. I didn't realize how much the Howard family has been in it. There are so many stories I didn't know about and was shocked to hear about Clint's drug issues. So glad he made it out and is well today. The boys' story is heartwarming and provided plenty of conversation in my household. I recommend this version since it is read by both Clint and Ron so you get all the nuance and emotion. I look forward to seeing them do more in film, tv, and books.

Rooting for Tiffany beginning to end

Revisado: 11-12-21

Easy to listen to and you can hear Tiffany's emotion coming through. You really want her to succeed. Even though some parts are rough, she puts a humorous spin on each topic. She is also a great role model for girls and women. I love it that she was so confident in herself she didn't fall for the sexual harrassment in her journey to reach success. It is a feel good story with some bumpy spots along the way.

Dave Grohl - Renaissance man

Revisado: 10-14-21

Dave has led an amazing life and he seems to attribute it to luck. But he is definitely an extraordinary talent who was lucky to have a lot of opportunities come his way plus being sharp enough to recognize them as such. And you cannot say enough about having a supportive parent to give you the tools and genetics to succeed, both musically and as a writer. He was smart to avoid some of the more worrisome pitfalls of rock stardom, namely drugs, but he needs to quit smoking to save his voice for longevity. Not smart on that point!. Loved the book and highly recommend it.

interesting view of a mental transformation

Revisado: 06-09-21

I enjoyed this book a great deal as i am always fascinated in how a person is so entrenched in dogma yet able to break free from the slave chains of religion. I would have liked more of the text to focus on his introspection to change rather than so much of the first half of the book talking about his every minute step under religion. An an atheist, that part of the book was not as interesting so I skipped around to hear about some of his experiences in the world randomly, especially those of how atheists can be nice people and do good things that religious people don't, or how religion doesn't make anything better for religious people. But, I found the steps towards his transformation most fascinating once the church kindred turned their back on him. Welcome to my world where the religious are the most hypocritical people existing on the planet. His eyes were finally opened especially once he stopped going to church and his mind was freed...not that it is any better on the outside, mind you. But he discovered the freedom to think on his own and discover a.great big world of facts and science.out there. I recommend this book for people like me who are interested in these types of transformations or, and even moreso, for.people who need guidance and support for leaving their religion. I know many who need a book like this to guide them out of the darkness and into the light. I really feel for these people as I do for Tim Sledge. I appreciate his honesty and applaud his success outside of the church.

impressive considering its scrutiny by CIA

loved it. lots of political insight and family insight as well. considering it had to be reviewed by government officials there is quite a bit of insider information

trump is the greatest showman on the planet and m. c. takes us into that world. it is closer to a circus or a fun house with all the mirrors. i highly recommend this book. it is a page-turner so to speak.

he's funny,adorable, & led an interesting life

Revisado: 08-08-20

Loved it. it was humorous and interesting. my sons and husband can't wait to listen to it. Collin has led an interesting and varied life even tho his shortage of common sense puts him into a few predicaments. Cross a South American river in the middle of the night or turn around and drive 3 hours back? Sorry Collin, turn around, don't drown. But it makes for a great story regardless. and it's a great pallet cleanser after listening to Mary Trump's story on DJT.

I knew it was going to be bad when he was elected but this tome tells us it is really going to get bad. it's not over yet until he is removed and the sooner he is, the sooner or we can recover.
