buttercupita's review against another edition
4.0
Meryl Streep narrates the book and I spent most of the time marveling at the picture she paints just with her choice of tone and inflection. I'm pretty sure I watched the film years ago (Streep starred in that), but remembered little of it and was happy to get this version of the story. Tragi-comedy at its finest.

If I'm completely honest, I'd only give this 2-stars, but since it's really not my type of book, I'll round it up to 3-stars. I was "done" by about chapter 3, but kept listening because the Meryl Streep reading was good.
