soul stirring story

thank you for sharing your story Val
I have been a fan of your 40 years ago and to get to know you through this brave story and your connection to nature was something I could really connect too .

Perfection!

I kept seeing the book advertised in the most random of places or heard the phrase being said by people I know. I was given Audible as a Christmas present and this is exactly what I needed at this moment in my life. Thank you!

Val, I've gotta crush on you!...

...you too are a beauty in the universe! Eccentric, authentic. Val's story and his heart are pure poetry!
An expressive, articulate, and eloquent writer - here's one example (but too many beautiful expressions to pick from!): "A continent that, more than any other, put me in touch with elemental forces that deepened my sense of the divine... Africa spoke to me in a voice as ancient as it was new, nature assumed a grandeur I had not before experienced." His words are ART (but not artifact, more like magic) in storytelling, precisely chosen imagery, precisely chosen feeling. You can feel, taste, touch his every word. Such colourful expressions, the words jump off the page (or bounce off the ear); I feel like every sentence of every chapter was like this, and my ears couldn't get enough of his intentional weaving of words, to share his wisdoms, to share his notions, to share his emotions. I laughed, I teared-up, I "aha'd" through every glorious chapter. His life built of family, friendships, romantic loves, work, happy times, sad times, spiritual searching, and self-searching - I've come to learn what an incredible human being Val is. His positivity and love for this life will keep him with us for many more years to come... and hopefully more books, poetry, art... more of his beautiful soul. See, I've gotta crush on Val!
PS, I would have preferred Val's personal narration (but the twist of life took that), however the three narrators did a wonderful job and honoured Val's intentions.

Touching memories

Val seems to be at peace with the universe and speaks fondly of the people who came into his life. An extremely gifted actor with a deeply spiritual light. I loved it, especially at this time in humanity where solitude is the norm.

History plus reflection equal an engaging memoir

I enjoyed listening to Val Kilmer's "I'm Your Huckleberry." The author tells an engaging and interesting story of his life. What I found most interesting was his reflections on the decisions he made and the meaning they hold regarding who he is as a person. His philosophical reflection on life translates well to the listener's own experiences and life.

I was wondering how I would like to listen to three narrators. Similar to the recent Jim Morrison collection of writings audiobook, it works well, especially after you become accustomed to the different styles.

Did I want the story to end? No. Will you? My guess is you will want it to continue, too, just like Val's fascinating and instructive life.

Absolutely one of my favourite biographies!!!

I was so excited to read/listen to this audible. I was disappointed that Val Kilmer did not narrate himself as I love his voice. But quickly understood why not. His 3 narrators did a fantastic job. I did not know how poetic Val Kilmer is. His words simply flow and I could not stop listening to his story. It is also interesting to learn how spiritual he is. He has lead an interesting life and thank you Val so being so frank and honest about yourself. I seriously hope to see you future movies. I truly wish you well in your healing. This is a gem of a biography and I sincerely recommend others to read or listen to it. Thank you Val Kilmer.

Not bad.

Just a little more behind the scenes stories could have been a bit better.

Val is an awesome actor and I did enjoy the book. It just needed a little something extra.

Has potential but I believe the hard copy version would be better

In my opinion this could be an amazing book the only problem is the narration. Having three narrators makes it extremely difficult to follow as you have to remember that they are all reading for the author not other subjects in the storyline. I found it overly distracting and could not finish the book because of it.
