An old dykes guide to new lesbianism

Revisado: 11-13-23

Being in my seventies this book was a joy. I haven't been to a lesbian bar in years. I loved the memories this book brought back, enjoyed the insights and was intrigued by the new language of queer. Also one of the best descriptions of being an x Mormon I have ever read.

Wish someone else had read the book!

Revisado: 11-13-23

I have always been intrigued by Chita Rivera. I was looking forward to hearing her story and thought it would be a plus that she was reading it. I was wrong, her reading was halting and at times stilted which made what she was saying less effective. I also thought the book jumped around time wise a great deal making it hard to follow the chronology of events in her life. That being said she remains one of the most remarkable women of American Theatre.

Loved Loved Loved the Performance

Revisado: 02-23-22

One of the best audible books ever. I have so many I want to hear, yet I keep thinking I want to go back and have another listen to this really interesting, unusual book. When I knew it was coming to an end I keep putting off finishing it. Given than prior to that I often took the long way home so I could hear more of it. This is one I have bought for several of my family. I loved it.

WOW

I listened to Cloud Cuckoo Land first. I wasn't sure about All The Light at first but it caught my attention and I really really enjoyed the listen.

One of the best books I've ever read

Revisado: 02-23-22

I met these women years ago. I have only reread 5 books in my life, this is one. The audible version of this work is outstanding. Jean Smart and Janis Ian are perfection, the writing is so lovely I didn't want the book to end. Oh, if only all of us could speak so eloquently even for just a day. I bought the paperback to give to my 17 year old granddaughter. I can't wait for her to read it so we can have lunch and revisit these wonderful women.

Did not want this book to end

Revisado: 05-06-21

I loved this book. The language was lyrical and mesmerizing. The performance was spot on. So many different characters and yet different voices for each male and female. I listen for several days. And when I knew I was close to the end, I kept putting it off. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes literature, fiction based on fact.

Meeting up with some old friends

Revisado: 04-05-21

This was such an unexpected delight. Old friends in their youth. Made me dream of horseback riding and made me smile for hours. I want to reread or listen to all the books with these characters again.

Loved Loved Loved the Performance

This short, two days to and from work listen, was fun, funny, touching and the best narration of any audible book yet.

A gripping memoir.

Revisado: 02-18-21

An acting text and a history lesson. I often sat in my garage to finish a chapter since I listened mostly in the car. Lessons learned.

Got hooked

Revisado: 10-30-20

Interestingly I really didn’t like the heroine of this book. However I found myself riding around until the chapter ended. It holds your interest, it’s a little spooky so it was fun to read just a couple of days before Halloween. I would recommend it to people who like just enough spooky and a decent story.
