I'm really disappointed in this book. It started off good and then took a weird turn. Felt like Zane was told a deadline and she said eff it and wrote anything to get the book out before the agent hounded her. I would have liked for the physical fight between Wicket and one of the chicks she was getting revenge on to have been talked about more....like how did it get to that? Also the whole part where her and dude going out of the country together was just weird. How she go from not liking to be touched to spending one on one time with him? I know she knew him from back when but that whole scene felt like it came out of no where. I kept making sure my e-book wasn't messed up because I felt like I was missing something. I wish Hannah had been around more in the book because I did like that character and I felt like it was a cop out when she was killed cause Zane didn't know how to write for her. It's ok, I'll still read whatever Zane puts out but this wasn't the one.
Ooooooh chile! Tiger was banging anything breathing (that wasn't black). This was an interesting listen. I like how it covered EVERYTHING, not just the sex scandals even tho those were the juiciest of parts. I found Tiger's relationship with his father interesting. Earl sounds like he was a piece of work and Tiger definitely gets it from his daddy. Tiger's mom sounds petty af but I admire that petty. What was interesting was the fact that Earl Wood's doesn't have a headstone. The father of one of the most successful sports figures ever doesn't have a headstone, just sitting out in the cemetery easy to miss. That family is far from broke and could easily afford one. I don't care how big of a whore he was, that's disrespectful. Sounds like Tiger is a pathological liar and was spoiled his whole life and treats people sh*tty. A far cry from the golden boy we thought he was back in the day. The part about him trashing the woman's house he was staying in made me really not like him. AND HE WASN'T PAYING HER FOR STAYING IN HER HOUSE. At this time he was filthy rich and could have easily thrown her a few thousand a month but his cheap privileged butt didn't. We all make mistakes in life and I'm sure Tiger is a better person now that he is getting up in age and his children are older. I hope he is treating people better and learned how to say thank you.
I have to admit I need to go back and read this in book format. I listened to it on audio and got confused as to who is who. The parts I could follow were extremely cute tho. Simon is adorable. I hate how some of kids at school were horrible to him about being gay. I loved the parts where he came out to his family and friends. If only everyone could be so accepting.
I obviously didn't read the summary for this before I picked up the audio book and listened to it. Wow. So I'm one of many that grew up loving Life With Louie for the few years it aired and remember Louie Anderson all over the tv as a kid telling his family jokes. While this had it's funny moments I felt myself getting real sad. Louie's mother died in the 90s and the book reads like him reading letters to her. He talks about how he misses her, how he wished he had been nicer, and all of the other siblings that passed on. Louie is the second to last child in a family of I believe 11 kids (GOOD GAWD) Many of his siblings have since passed on, including his baby brother and there are only a few left. On the last disc which is probably the last chapter in the print book he talks about the day his mother died. That was hard to listen to. You definitely never get over the death of your mom and it is like a piece of you is gone, been through it and knew exactly what he was talking about. Ok it wasn't all depressing, Louie did tell some funny jokes throughout the book. I like when he talked about being on Johnny Carson and being one of the first invited to Joan Rivers show. I have never seen the show Baskets where he plays a mom and got inspiration for the role from his own mom but I will start watching soon. Definitely don't read or listen to this if you're feeling down.
I kind of wish I had read/listened to this before listening to Tiger Woods by Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian because a lot of things weren't surprising about what Hank Haney said. Yes we know Tiger was a big ol a hole and didn't know how to talk to people. But it was nice to get a first hand account of how it was being the coach of one of the most famous sports figures of our time. I will say this, Hank is a better person than I'll ever be. I know he was getting paid good as hell but someone isn't going to continually diss me and snap at me before I snap back. I was surprised he wasn't aware of Tiger's whoring. If he did know it wouldn't have mattered because at the end of the day Tiger was a grown ass man. Good listen.
It was fun listening about Meghan Markle's life before she became Dutchess of Sussex. I like how it started off talking about great great grandparents and how her fathers side is linked to the royal family. It really tripped me out when I first learned Meghan's dad did the lighting on Married With Children and that Meghan visited the set often. She's always had a loving and giving spirit thanks to her mother Doria (we ain't giving daddy no credit). It sounds like her half siblings were always TRASH. It's funny how people assumed her black side would be the side to run to the media but her white side is the most ratchet ghetto trash alive. I wish her dad, brother and sister would stfu...especially the sister. How the sister disses Meghan any chance she gets makes it crystal clear why Megan doesn't eff with them. It's cool though because she's WINNING. I also need Harry to check his racist family members (I'm sure he has) because I had forgotten about the woman that wore a racist broach to dinner. She knew exactly what she was doing old stupid ass heffa. Racists gonna racist. Meghan is a gorgeous biracial woman who they wanted to ASSume is some ghetto ho but has more class in her little finger than the royal family combined. It was also interesting to hear about her life with her ex husband. I'm glad she dropped him like a bad habit and got with a PRINCE. This is a modern day fairy tale and I love every bit of it. I know many don't see it for Morton but I enjoyed this.
This was cute. I've known about Ali since her days on In Living Color and remember her being funny on there and she's still a hoot. I liked her stories about parenting teenage girls and her life with George Stepansdljfdkjflks who I still can't believe are married because he seems so boring and her so goofy. Opposites attrack.
I was on Hoopla looking for a graphic novel to read and the cover to this got me. I'm all for seeing people of color in graphic novels. This was cute and fun to read. A diverse group of women that live in a town where an 80s movie was filmed. Shows how fans of the movie "The Gloomies" which of course will make you think of The Goonies come through the town and only want to see memorabilia from the movie and disrespect the rest of the place. I love me some Macy who is quick to speak her mind and seems like a free spirit and there is another character who is all about getting money (can't remember her name). I can't wait to read #2 when it comes out because the ladies will be looking for treasure. This is gonna be good.
The best part of this volume was Michonne being reunited with her daughter Elodie. I had no idea she had a daughter in the graphic novel world although I'm sure it has been mentioned. The Commonwealth is a sweet setup but I know I definitely wouldn't be in the elite....I'd sit up there and lie about what I did before the zombie apocalypse and fake it until I make it lmaooo. I really really hope someone kills Sebastian. What a horrible piece of sh*t. If you can't control your kid, how the hell are you controlling thousands of people. I didn't like how this ended...felt like there should have been a bit more dialogue between Rick and the female governor. Still a good read and I don't blame Michonne for staying.
This took me forever to finish. This was a decent story. I was just left wanting more. Like how did the brother and his girlfriend get back together? And you mean to tell me Camilla's ex fiance trashed her apartment and left and didn't try anything else? I see there is a part two which probably talks about these thing. Also Neesy was a hot ass mess. Just banging everybody and had the nerve to be mad at Cash for not telling her about his soon to be ex wife and child. Whew...I did like the scene at the end where Neesy and Mila beat up the other strippers and then quit. Good story.
