Fun

It was sweet & smoothe, what's not to like. Plus I really like her book choices so I feel I relate even more

An excellent read

Revisado: 05-04-23

I did not expect this book to be as good as it is, but I loved it: frank, sassy, witty and... oh I'm going to use that literally word – poignant. I was touched. The book resonated for me and some really interesting ways. Listen to the whole thing almost all the way through in one evening.

Excellent, Unique, insightful, and so much fun

Revisado: 01-16-23

I couldn't give a higher recommendation then I will give for this book. Trevor Noah skillfully and effortlessly (It seems) tells his story. There is so much insight, perspective and humor and adventure. This is an awesome awesome book and so much fun. Beautiful language and accents.

Too slow

Revisado: 01-16-23

It got boring. The lack of awareness of the protagonist wore me down. I did value the narrow life experience of the protagonist, and the first person narration. But it just was narrow.

Really cheap characterizations

Revisado: 01-16-23

I was really hoping I would get to enjoy this book because the stories seem promising. But the characters were so trait and polarized and poorly developed that I was really disappointed and couldn't finish it beyond halfway.

Beautifully performed & written

Revisado: 12-26-21

This is an excellent book. It may be for young readers, but the insights into life in Russia and what people went through is humorously and fabulously told. I recommended for people of all ages. An awesome eye-opening book.

One of the best ever

Revisado: 12-02-20

Just love the narrative and the beautiful weave of the bee lessons w the writer’s life lessons. Amazing character development.
Took a moment to get with the protagonist’s voice but I got used to it and the other characters were well done.

Great for a tween but definitely not adult level

Revisado: 10-21-19

The performance was good with accents and changing voices but the tone was stilted and very boring, predictable and and unimaginative. It was probably done so on purpose to some extent, trying to sound very British and stilted. Well it was stilted. The story itself was fairly predictable and simple so it’s probably better for a teenager. I just wanted to see it through once I started but it was definitely not worth listening to

Loved the author’s mission but not the book

Revisado: 08-28-19

Found it cold and distant. Though was an interesting notion to call her daughter “the girl” and stepson “the boy”, there was enough of a lack of warmth in this slow, plodding tale that I couldn’t finish it after hours of listening. Could not make it till the end.
