Bryan Cranston fans will enjoy

Évalué le: 2018-11-30

I've been a fan of Bryan Cranston since he was on Malcolm in the Middle and came to be even more after Breaking Bad, so his story intrigued me. I didn't know anything about his personal life and didn't have any expectations of this book beforehand. He describes his childhood, how he got into acting, his major roles and the time that has passed since Breaking Bad. You can tell he is one of the most passionate actors out there from hearing his story. There are lots of little tidbits of information in here about some of the shows and movies he's been in that you probably would never know otherwise. My interest dwindled a little towards the last bit of the book but overall I enjoyed it and would recommend!

An easy listen

Drew states herself at the beginning of the book that she is not a writer and that this book jumps around a lot. This is true and sometimes can get a bit confusing but not a big deal since there isn't a detailed storyline to follow. I have always liked Drew Barrymore so it was interesting to hear these stories from her perspective. One thing I didn't like about this book is sometimes when she is re-telling a story she YELLS into the microphone! I had to turn the volume way down a bunch of times.

Really great information

After receiving (successful) acupuncture treatments, I was more interested in the science behind it as well as other vibrational medicines which is why I wanted to read this book. I love that this is written by a doctor. This book gave many examples of scientific tests, procedures and explains how and why alternative medicines may be effective for some people and conditions. His explanation of how crystals transmit energy was great. I wasn't really keen on the parts about out of body experiences, though. The narrator is also the author and he has a pleasant voice. I listen to this book over and over again as there is so much valuable information to take from it. Would recommend for anyone interested (or skeptical) of these practices!

Really enjoyable

I really enjoyed listening to this book, I actually couldn't turn it off throughout the first few chapters. I learned a lot about the earliest human species and the narrator has a very pleasant voice. The second half was less enjoyable for me personally.. I guess I just find the earliest human information the most interesting because so much of it was new to me. I have recommended to 4 people and all of them have went out and bought the book, also really enjoyed it.

Interesting, respectful yet funny

Évalué le: 2018-03-19

As many others have said in reviews, the author managed to have a great sense of humour writing this book while still remaining respectful. I laughed many times while listening. The dignity and respect towards those who have donated their bodies is reiterated many times throughout the book. I learned a ton of things I did not know about the uses of cadavers and steps of decomposition the human body goes through. I enjoyed the first half more than the second. In my opinion, death is a bit of a taboo, dark subject but it's the only guarantee in life so the more comfortable and knowledgeable we are about it, the better. I'm really intrigued by the use of remains as compostable material. Worth the read and highly recommended!

Interesting book

Évalué le: 2017-11-01

I have been a big fan of Elvis since I was little (even though he died long before I was born) so that was the reason I purchased the book and was not disappointed. I couldn’t stop listening throughout the Elvis chapters. Learned a lot and her perspective was interesting. I don’t care for Bruce Jenner so I wasn’t sure I would listen to the rest but I did. I appreciated the remainder of the book, especially because I’m about the same age as Brody her youngest son so watched him on The Hills etc. Linda has had an interesting life. Things I did not enjoy were the poems at the end of each chapter which I would skip over and I don’t think she should be doling out relationship advice. Each man she was with was manipulative and controlling and she seems to let people walk all over her. She does seem like a lovely person though and her voice is nice to listen to as the narrator. All in all a good book.
