This is one of the best musical autobiographies I have ever heard. John Legend is honest, entertaining and a truly gifted

Couldn't Get Past Chapter 4

Revisado: 01-08-21

From the beginning this audio book rubbed me the wrong way. It took me a minute to realize that the first character that was talking was a female. When there are female main characters in my opinion the story should be narrated by a female. The narrator has a nice, masculine voice but because of that it is hard to listen to him narrate female characters unless he is good at and does different voices. However, I tried to keep it moving until I got to chapter 4 and one of the male character's thoughts were spoken and he immediately began to talk about the female body parts of the main character like she was a piece of meat. Maybe some people like this but at my age it is crass and unnecessary and I'm tired of it. I guess I am just too old for these types of storylines. It saddens me that there are too many novels still being written about young black women with no self-worth who allow themselves to be so mistreated, disrespected and walked allover by some thug life man who doesn't even know his own worth! Yes, one female character was painted in a more positive light but her friend on the other hand falls into the category of one who lost herself. I realize that there are many people in the world like these characters for real, but do we have to always give them the limelight? A good novel doesn't have to be overly sexualized, with polarized illegal activity to be a good book STOP IT! We can and should by now be doing better. Disappointed!

Glad This Was a Free Listen

Revisado: 01-07-21

I couldn't even get past the first chapter before I stopped to re-read the summary to remind myself why I chose it. Then I read some of the reviews which confirmed for me why I was second guessing my choice. However, I tried to give it a second chance and listened to two more chapters and was done. I guess I am just too old for these types of storylines. It saddens me that there are too many novels still being written about young black women with no self-worth who allow themselves to be so mistreated, disrespected and walked allover by some thug life man who doesn't even know his own worth! I realize that there are many people in the world like this for real, but do we have to always give them the limelight? A good novel doesn't have to be overly sexualized, with polarized illegal activity to be a good book and the pettiness STOP IT! We can and should by now be doing better. Disappointed!

Good, but Predictable

Revisado: 01-03-21

The storyline did a good job of making both young male & females out to be extremely petty, vindictive, immature & nieve. I can't give full detail as to why I feel this way because it would spoil it for others. Even though I wasn't impressed someone else may still want to listen to it. The narrator did a horrible job unfortunately; she made a lot of obvious mistakes, stumbled over words and mispronounced some. I have heard other narrators make a mistake or two that are subtle but, she made way too many. Also, don't tease us by adding the word "Saga" in the title and then not follow through the book was copywritten in 2017 3 years is a long time to wait with no part 2 in sight. Is there one in the works?

Random Thoughts

Revisado: 09-10-20

I don't like giving bad reviews because I know how it feels to be rejected or told you or some you did was not good enough. However; I've listened to spoken word & read poetry often enough to know that there is usually a point or theme to the piece. Unfortunately for this one I feel like she recited all the random thoughts she wrote down in her journal and then tried to pass it off as poetry. I couldn't listen to any of the them in their entirety found myself fast forwarding through to the next one hoping that was a better one then forwarding to the next one again because it wasn't. I'm just disappointed 😞.

Awesome Book!

Revisado: 09-08-20

Kim has always been one of my favorite people & actresses. 💘 her on Facts of Live and Living Single and LOVED both shows. To hear her talk about her life in such an honest and exciting way is wonderful. She narrates her story with such passion you forget its a biography and feel like you are listening to a good Fiction book. Worth the time and money.

This is a very well written book with more than the upfront twist. Worth the listen.

It's About Time!

Revisado: 10-24-19

I love the "Family Business" stories and the Duncan family; they are No Joke! However; I've always felt like Rio was treated with kid gloves & not taken seriously so I was excited to see a story focused just on him especially since his twin sister Paris already had a book based on her. I must say this book did not disappoint, Rio showed up & Showed out in his own way & proved not only to himself but; to his family also that YES he is truly a Duncan.

This is one of the BEST I've heard!

Revisado: 08-23-19

Jenifer (w/one N; listen to the book you'll understand the reference), Reads her life story like she is acting it out in true Jenifer fashion. She has proven what I've always thought which is that she shows the world a piece ofevery true self in every roll she plays.

Very Intriguing & Informative

Revisado: 05-29-19

This is a very good book that gives a lot of important information in a well written fictional novel about mental health issues and how they affect not just the individual struggling with it but also the family and friends who are a part of their lives.
