LOVE but need sample menus/recipes in PDF

Revisado: 09-30-21

I'm halfway through this and I'm learning so much. From past "clean" eating I know how much better it makes me feel physically not to mention having my clothes fit again but now I'm really starting to understand WHY. Hormones are everything and they are going crazy in my perimenopause body. The book is just the push in the right direction this 51 year old woman needed to get back to taking care of myself and taking control of my health. I'm eager to start the 28 day plan but I wish the food guide and menu plan were also included in the PDF.
The narrator is "okay." My family refuses to let me listen to it when they're in the car with me because she sounds like a "bossy, entitled woman" and I can't say I disagree and I might add the word "pedantic" to her delivery but I'm so interested in the content I'm able to overlook her know it all tone. In any case, if this subject is important to you, you should be able to get past the narrator ; )

What did you love best about Bossypants?

Everything.
My 15 year old girl and 10 year old son are watching all of 30 Rock on Netflix right now. It is SO MUCH FUN watching it again with them and having them love it and then listening to this and hearing about TF's journey. LOVE IT.

What other book might you compare Bossypants to and why?

Poehler, Kaling

What about Tina Fey’s performance did you like?

EVERYTHING. Don Fey sounds especially rad.

Any additional comments?

More, more!

If you could sum up Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) in three words, what would they be?

My god, so wonderful to listen to. Mindy speaks to me (45 married working mom) and my kids (15 year old girl and 10 year old boy). She cracks us all up and has some great insights.

What other book might you compare Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) to and why?

Anything Tina Fey or Amy Poehler.

Have you listened to any of Mindy Kaling and Michael Schur ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

yes, also GREAT!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

if i could have I would have, but it made me look forward to my commute into the City.

Any additional comments?

More, more!!!

Wanted to like it, but hated the narration

Revisado: 02-14-16

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

If it didn't put me to to sleep and go on endlessly. Needed to be more concise and interesting. The narrator's voice DRONED on and on...

Has Wheat Belly turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yes, if they are all this boring, I can't do it. I want my drives to and from work to go faster. This made them more painful.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

He droned on and on and on. Too pedantic.

Painful to listen to and totally not inspiring

Revisado: 02-14-16

What would have made Fat Girl Walking better?

A different narrator for one. The narrator was so affected in her reading. It was like a parody of what you'd want to hear. HORRIBLE. Can't listen anymore.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Something authentic and real.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Lauren Fortgang?

Anyone but her. Someone who doesn't sound fake and like she's trying too hard to be droll and funny. So lame.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Pain.

Any additional comments?

I wish I could get my money back for this horrible book.
