Those of a certain age will be familiar with many of these stories, but I found that the depth of the stories surprised me with new, to me, information. While some of the stories were sad, many had me laughing out loud.
Mo’s delivery was heartfelt and respectful. I enjoyed learning more about Mo as well. He certainly had an interesting childhood.

I absolutely LOVED everything about this book. It's one of those that you hate when it ends and wish the story could continue in another book. The narrator was fantastic.
While the story is fiction, there are so many instances describing the awful circumstances and treatment of women that seem to be trying to make a comeback in today's world. The witches are loyal to each other and fight hard to move ahead of the abuse.
The author explores each of the main characters in a thoughtful and expansive way. Thank you Alix for the Cleo character.

Somehow, I missed learning about apartheid...this book made me laugh and cry. I didn't know about Trevor's life before and him sharing his story in the most personal way was not only educational but extremely emotional.
I'm so glad he decided to record the audio himself. His is truly a rags to riches tale with a backstory riddled with discrimination, abuse, and ridicule.
Don't get me wrong though...there is so much else to his story. There is his mother's stabilizing love nurturing him while maintaining a rather strict behavioral code. Telling his story and mixing in several native languages only made it more interesting.

I downloaded this book because I had seen Ben on a cable show and it sounded like it would be worth an Audible credit. It was a pretty good book, but the best part was Tim's narration. Tim made it seem like you were in the room with him. There were things in the book that were "new news" and unfortunately totally believable given the state of our politics today. Of course, this gives me really awful heartburn and a feeling of dread for the future.

Most of the book was very good, timely subject matter and believable premise. However, the ending was so disappointing! I haven’t read all of her books, but enough to know that this ending was particularly bad.
I did love the narration though.

This book is absolutely a must listen. I've watched Tim on MSNBC many times, but did know his background. I did not know he was gay and it only adds to the complexity of his book.
Tim not only "spins a yarn", but makes one really understand what was and is going on with Trump's Republican Party. Like Tim, I keep asking myself, "How can this be happening and why isn't someone doing something about it?" Please everyone, if you want to keep our democracy, VOTE Democratic!
I loved the stories about the different players in the Trump administration, but especially the one about Sean Spicer.
While I initially was disappointed that Tim didn't read the book himself, I absolutely loved Josh Bloomberg. I could forget Tim wasn't reading because Josh got everything right.

Already a fan of Marie from her testimony, but her book gave me so much more information about her work and family.
She is a remarkable woman, handling her missions with intelligence and bravery.
As an introvert myself, I highly recommend her book. Yes, you can read the book yourself, but listening to it felt like she was in the room telling me her story.
