A most delightful listening experience!

Revisado: 07-29-23

This memoir is really a creative, tongue-in-cheek, manifesto on many of the things Jenny Slate values in life. For me, in this memoir, Ms. Slate comes across as a beautiful person. I could write paragraphs more of sincere compliments, but I'll refrain and simply say get this book and see for yourself why so many people have enjoyed it.

Exquisite Narrator

Revisado: 04-17-22

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is one of my all-time favorite books. Scarlett Johansson's narration makes listening to this classic story even infinitely more enjoyable.

Best Memoir I've Ever Read!

Revisado: 07-25-20

This is one of the most intellectually imaginative and daring and emotionally impactful book of essays I've ever read. No wonder it was a bestseller in Ireland. I'll re-listen to this audiobook many times in my lifetime. It is that good.

Unlike any audiobook I've read before!

Revisado: 04-07-20

I answered a question on Twitter from Goodreads that asked to describe the book you're currently reading in three words. I wrote: intense, harrowing, and lyrical. I think that adequately sums up my experience of listening to this audiobook. It's a monologue told from the point of view of Eve Ensler's father, who sexually and physically abused her. The narration in this audiobook is just so emotionally complex and riveting. I listened engrossed from beginning to end. An added bonus is the interview with Ensler at the end of the audiobook, in which Ensler gives insight into the creative process that went into writing the book. I'm so glad I listened to the audiobook, and would highly recommend that anyone else do the same. I must say, however, that certain parts of the book were difficult to listen to as they contain graphic, if not imaginative, depictions of sexual child abuse. I image it must have been particularly difficult for Ensler to write these passages. Be that as it may, because I so thoroughly enjoyed this book, I'm definitely going to read Ensler's other works, including her nonfiction.

Compassion Personified

Wonderful interview. Christie Watson comes across as a genuinely compassionate person. I look forward to reading her memoir.
