Excellent book that makes you think

Revisado: 05-16-23

I really enjoyed this book. My husband listened to it first, and then recommended it to me. It was a refreshing listen to, that highlighted emotional labor without getting too hostile (which I totally understand when it happens, but not coming away from the book mad myself because it is maddening to carry so much extra labor felt like a relief.)

I was super disappointed

Revisado: 09-01-22

This book was boring, slow, had no new interesting ideas, repeated itself, and was more about bashing excellence then actually addressing finding happiness in the good.

Interesting, but annoying at the same time.

Revisado: 06-16-19

It would be an interesting book, except the author spends the whole thing trying to get you out of the frying pan, into the fire. I enjoyed hearing the background of the history or Mormonism, and the conflicting historical accounts, but didn’t need her constant attempt to push her version of Christianity into the story, and onto the listener. It’s no better than what a Mormon would be doing to get you to believe their version.

One of the most engaging books I’ve ever heard.

Revisado: 05-04-19

I would never, never, never read this book. The only way to hear this story is from Trevor Noah’s own mouth, all the accents, all the inflections, all the emotion. His reading of his book was perfection. I seriously couldn’t decide between laughing, crying, and feeling all the feels throughout the whole thing. My family is from South Africa, and his whole story resonated with me as deeply familiar, but was also such a beautiful insightful view into the racial background that I didn’t get to see as strongly as a child.

More like a school research paper than a book.

Revisado: 05-02-19

This read more like a school research paper than a book, which was fine, and very interesting for what it was, but it never flowed like the author had any expertise of her own. As a exmormon, it was very interesting, and thoughtful as a breakdown of many of the false mind tricks you can carry with you, even after breaking away from Mormonism.

Giant piece of garbage.

Revisado: 12-04-18

I’ve been happily married for 20 years, (so I feel somewhat experienced at keeping a husband happy,) I had this book recommended by a lady on Instagram, so I decided to give it a try (because marriage is made by effort, and wanting to constantly improve) but this was a hostile piece of garbage, in which such ugly tones and negativity were aimed at women, and the poor men in their lives. I’ll keep doing what I’m doing, and stay happy with my awesome husband, while completely ignoring the trash that this book is.

Good, until it wasn’t.

Revisado: 08-06-18

Skip the last few chapters, they get really stuck in the mud over the author’s disdain for teachers and how they teach. But everything up until the bagging on teachers for ages was awesome.
