Another excellent book, well researched and written. The narrator was smooth, but engaging. Highly recommended.

Every time I do this class, I fall asleep before the end. The performance is soothing and gently guides you to a good nights sleep.

I love history, especially WWII as my dad fought in the ETO. Great book, and great story.

I really enjoyed this book. Mike’s storytelling was interesting and fun, but also poignant and inspiring.

If you want a step by step of Aretha’s life, this isn’t it. It tells the high points of the life of an icon. The good, the bad, the amazing life of Aretha Franklin.

I read this book every 20 or so years and every time, I find something different that makes me think. This is the first time I have listened to it, and again, I heard things I seem to have missed before. Some of the characters are vapid, superficial things, while others I find more interesting .
The reader was excellent, but the editing was not. You can tell where he stopped and restarted. There are pauses and gaps in odd places, and chapter announcements seem to randomly pop up, never giving you, the listener, a chance to reflect on the last one.
In general, it’s one of my favorite novels, so I put up with it.

I really enjoyed listening to Willie’s story. I have a new appreciation for this wonderful song writer and performer.

It's OK, but not what I had hoped

I was not expecting a book in which someone I admired spent the entire time whining about how his mommy didn't love him , having to hide that he was gay yet discussing details of his encounters, only to decide at the end that he sucks at being a gay man and he'd wasted time trying to please his mom. I wanted to hear about his career, his creativity with the roles he played. That seemed to take a back seat to mommy and men. Add to that his somewhat slurred reading and I was thrilled when the book ended. I'm glad this was the free in a 2-for-1 because it would have been a waste of money.
