Thanks for writing this, Jenna

Revisado: 06-01-18

Excellent level of detail on all of the different aspects of the processes, routines, etc. It really brought me back to my many years there. The funny thing is, I kipt thinking how spoiled she was for the treatment she was getting, because those without the name Miscavige are treated much more harshly. But good for her for eventually seeing through the mindfuck that they get you caught up in. Now if only all my old friends still on the inside could do the same...

This book was the therapy I needed

Revisado: 05-20-18

I recently left Scientology after 16 years. Leah so brilliantly articulates so many of the things that were going on in my head, but that the church always made me wrong for thinking. It was very therapeutic to hear from someone who had similar experiences to my own. I am so glad that I read this, and that Leah Remini took the time to write it all out.

This is the best audiobook I've listened to in a long time! And hearing Trevor read his own story is priceless!

Any additional comments?

I'm not a musician, but was interested in learning the theory of music. This book delivered brilliantly.

contains a glitch

Revisado: 01-26-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

One of these contains a glitch, where some of the chapters appear out of sequence. It's confusing when it happens, because the story suddenly jumps forward a few decades. Then, about an hour later, it jumps back to get the missing chapters. The first time I listened to it, I actually didn't catch what had happened. I was just left with a feeling of having been very confused about that period of time. I am not positive that it was in Volume 5 that it happened, but it seems like it was right around this point in the story.
Don't let that dissuade you from buying this book, because the story truly is brilliant. Just be alert when it happens, and jump around as necessary so that you are listening to the chapters in chronological sequence.

disappointing

Revisado: 01-26-15

What would have made Into the Wild better?

It would have been better if we actually knew anything about this guy's story. The problem is that the main character dies, and no one else was there to know what happened. And he left very little written documentation behind. So the author adds lots of fluff that doesn't have much to do with his story, in order to make this a full length book.

My new favorite book

Revisado: 01-26-15

Would you consider the audio edition of War and Peace, Volume 1 to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version, but I can say that the narrator does a very good job of bringing the story to life.

Amazing book, excellent narrator

Revisado: 01-26-15

If you could sum up Uncle Tom's Cabin in three words, what would they be?

Three words? Really?

What about Buck Schirner’s performance did you like?

He was an excellent narrator. I had tried the Richard Allen version and found it to be unlistenable. So I switched to this one, and was very glad that I did. He gives this amazing book the treatment it deserves.

much better version available

Revisado: 01-26-15

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It was impossible for me to keep interested in what the narrator was talking about. So I quit trying after the first chapter, and bought the version narrated by Buck Schirner. As much as I hated buying the same book twice, the switch was worth it, because that version was amazing. This book holds up remarkably well today, and I'm not sure why it is not read by more people.

Mostly a political history

Revisado: 01-26-15

What did you like best about City of Ambition? What did you like least?

The story was good enough to keep me listening to the end, but it was much more about the politicians than about the city of NY. If you aren't a fan of political science, then this probably isn't for you.
