From New York Times best-selling author Kathy Griffin, an A-Z compendium of the celebrities she's met over the years and the jaw-dropping, charming, and sometimes bizarre anecdotes only she can tell about them. Starting with Woody Allen and making pit stops with Demi Lovato, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Donald Trump, Kathy Griffin finally lifts the veil on her never-before-told run-ins with the famous and the infamous.

Bitter and silly.

Any additional comments?
She's basically resents Hollywood hunks (who doesn't?), but she makes an account with a serial killer truly funny.

Another Great Book By Joyce Carol Oates

It was pretty great.

I listened to it over three days.
The title is pretty funny in how food is (over-) emphasized as a staple throughout the novel and an integral part in the character's lives, however traditional as the women cooked and the men ate it.
There is a very dramatic course of events and this points to the narrator, who is excellent. She pulls the story forward, at times conjuring up Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction and overall commands the text brilliantly.

In 1965, neuroscientist Margot Sharpe meets the attractive, charismatic Elihu Hoopes - the "man without a shadow" - whose devastated memory, unable to store new experiences or to retrieve the old, will make him the most famous and most studied amnesiac in history. Over the course of the next 30 years, Margot herself becomes famous for her experiments with E. H. - and inadvertently falls in love with him.

Great story.

Loved it. Listened to it over three days.
My favorite part of the story was the learning of the selfish aspect of love, even at its most compassionate.
The narrator has a great voice, sometimes conjuring up memories of Tippi Hedren; She read the story with proper emotion and it felt like she had a complete grasp on what the story was about (whether she did or not is not the point, the talent is in sounding like she did.)

Wyatt Gwyon's desire to forge is not driven by larceny but from love. Exactingly faithful to the spirit and letter of the Flemish masters, he produces uncannily accurate "originals" - pictures the painters themselves might have envied. In an age of counterfeit emotion and taste, the real and fake have become indistinguishable; yet Gwyon's forgeries reflect a truth that others cannot touch - cannot even recognize.

I listened to this book.
Revisado: 01-11-16
Would you listen to The Recognitions again? Why?
Sure. It's a great story that's basically filled with character flaws so it's very funny and very human.
What other book might you compare The Recognitions to and why?
I don't know. It's unique. Perhaps "Women and Men" due to its quality and of being in the category of books with around 1000 pages.
Who was the most memorable character of The Recognitions and why?
The homosexual. He was the lynch pin and kept the gears of society going, just as it is in real life.
Any additional comments?
Is it just me, or did it seem to have a section that repeated itself? It's very likely I made a mistake.
