I came across this book during a podcast and thought I'd look it up. I suggested it for my book club and I am so excited for the next meeting to discuss! Amanda is not only a great writer and has the linguistic skills of a trained ninja! She also has a very pleasant audio voice as well. The new triple threat for the modern woman. Well informed, uses all the best words, and makes me feel I am smarter for listening. Thank you for writing such a great book that helps me make sense of the world we are living in. A thousand thumbs up, hearts, likes or whatever the most appropriate social media thing is. It's hard not to put a halo on Amanda but she has a small "h" hallo (to give her space to be human). I'm a culty follower for sure! #noPressureAmanda #HugeFanInTheBestWay

Great story but a little sad that SM seems...

I am a fan of Steve Martin's work. I grew up watching him. The book is well told and his standup stories are engaging. There is something about this story though that I find aloof. I can't quite put my finger on it though.

I really want to like this book and purchase extra credits to get it as I’m a big fan of how Holiday modernizes the stoics, however, the narrator makes the content sound stale. It feels like a reading of the King James Bible.

This is a very well researched book. The story telling for the most part was compelling and thought provoking. Steve Jobs was certainly a polarizing figure to work for. There were some parts of the story that went on a little too long and it seemed that the author was trying to convince us of a view point. It could have been edited down a little better but great story nonetheless.

Wow! So honest and unblinking. I never watched the Nickelodeon show but I am an adult fan of McCurdy now! How many complicit adults did it take to come to this?!? The mom is a character right from Stephen King!

The characters were lively and balanced. It has a bit more “my fair lady” than Cinderella but enjoyable all the same.

I usually read biographies and business books and thought I could use a mental palate cleanse and wanted to change it up. Danielle Steel is a pretty big name so I thought I’d start there. The reviews looked great and away I went.

I get that this is escapism but my gawd!!! It was like a mental kid napping and being forced to someone’s play by play of an average golf game.

The characters are one dimensional, it drips of old world sexism without any of the actual grit of the real world. Descriptive words were completely over used and so many things were repetitive.

The rise and fall in action was a flat line with nothing lost and nothing gained by anyone. This book is bland and Pollyanna without any of the real charm. I highly question any of these reviews and am now very skeptical of them.

There are some books I've really loved of Margaret Atwood's and some not so much. I found the listing of things a little tedious and while there are some writing gems in it, I was overall rather uninspired. Atwood is articulate and meaningful in her delivery, but even the fun and light moments seem ominous with the delivery. I was hoping for a bit more with this.
