Better than I hoped

Reviewed: 01-15-23

Dear Your Royal Highness,
I would like to thank you for speaking out... about everything, thank you for for reminding everyone that you are and were a soldier. I understand not everyone will like what you have said, but I believe you mean no malicious intent to your family. I feel like your family have squandered a Major opportunity with your wife and their subjects, I believe she would have worked hard for the crown as she did before you had to leave. I am heart broken that Kate wasn't a better sister in law to M... As a sister in law I watched and waited for they're bond to form as you see with your Mom and your Aunt Fergie, because that was a normal/common relationship but it never developed, and that was very disappointing. Yes I am an American, but I am also a British history nerd as well, but when I became a "royal watcher" I watch how Kate was treated, I watch how she interacted with family members, and watched how the media spun it before she married William... that being said I was sadden at how certain members treated M in public no less and acted like people couldn't see it or read between the lines... So No the book wasn't shocking, nothing that you or M have said since leaving England has shocked me, I can not say the same for the king, the prince and their spouses... in short the book was great, I love that you read it yourself, my only disappointment is the rest of your family, but I hope they can see their mistakes and do the right thing.
Sincerely,
A Commoner that cares

Like Wil does, I want to give you some context. 1. I'm not a writer. 2. Wil was my very first crush I can't remember a boy on or off screen that I crushed harder on than Wil, till Johnny, and Leo came along... But Wil still had my heart first (sorry to my husband, again). 3. This review was written for Wil Wheaton.

Dear Wil,
At first I was really upset I missed the first book (I had a bad toll experience in Tabletop comments once and I didn't keep up) but after listening to this one I'm sorry Wil but I'm really glad I missed it. With that said I'd like to tell you why; what I loved most was hearing you talking to your younger self. I loved hearing correct and give advice. My husband loved your book too. What started out as me listening to my childhood crush talking in my kitchen and occasionally yelling "That's right, You tell them Wil!" while my husband played Minecraft in the living room probably rolling his eyes, turned into me watching Star trek in any form for the first time (yes it's TNG, and I'm 37) and knowing somehow when I was 5 that I had a crush on Gordie La Chance (you) because even though I hadn't gone through my trauma yet I related to him (you) the most, I still do. For my husband I would say it turned into a chance to understand the broken woman he married at 19 (I was 20) and how her brain worked, but also a chance to learn his wife is a geek. I will recommend this book to anyone and everyone for the life advice, the trip down memory lane and the open honesty of mental health. I got a chance to look at my brain and honestly appreciate my growth, I cried for and with you, I laughed with you, and I felt like listening to you talk about everything openly and honestly, I didn't feel alone (that's a running pattern still). I'm so proud of you and everything you've done, well I should say you make a great bad guy (Chaos in Leverage) but I love when you play the good guy better. We await you new adventures with catching up on everything we've missed... One last thing I'd like to tell you, the main reason I'm writing this is if I never meet you in person you might read this review, you have meant so much to me in my life, thank you for being my friend when I didn't have one but had an imagination to make you real. If I do ever meet you I might be so shy to speak to you I might just stand there and cry... So sorry for that in advance... And Fuck William Shattener!!! (however his name is spelled) my grandmother, mother and I agree with you.
Love, A Fan Girl

I enjoyed this book and felt like I learned a lot. It was hard not to feel defensive in the beginning, I have always felt like I should try to make up for the color of my skin and things that white people do to those that are not white... But the reader made me feel as if everything I've done still wasn't good enough, then I realized that his feelings weren't really personal (something I have a hard time with) I started the book over a just listen to the words. I feel like I've come away with a better understanding, and tips on being a better friend to I had already viewed as friends. This book was well written and I have already recommended it to my friends and family. If you're a white person and think that you are already a great friend to people who aren't white ready it anyways you might learn something you want to change.

FINALLY and SADLY

TO THE DONKEY THAT LEAKED THIS SO LONG AGO AND BROKE STEPHENIE'S HEART I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF... BECAUSE I'M NOT!
We've Waited SO Long...
That was worth the wait, the only problem now is this world Stephenie created is like a drug for me, and now that we've gotten to hear Edward's side of THIS story I'm sadden that it will probably be the only one we get now because one person couldn't be a good person. It saddens me to think of the other stories we could've enjoyed hearing Everyones thoughts, and the Birth of Renseme through Edward. Finding out where he was and what he was doing while Bella was Cliff Diving in pain. To see how he felt when Bella said Yes to his proposal. To see how he felt when he was finally able to hear her thoughts for the first time. I can not be selfish enough to beg Stephenie for that, but I admit I want to. It just wasn't meant to be, but Thank You Stepenie for all you have given us, it was amazing, and Immortalizing. please never stop writing, and if Edward won't leave you alone just know you have 2 people (my husband and I) that will have some small hope to read and hear his words again.

it would have been better if it was Robin himself had read it, otherwise it's just a book of jokes read by a boring person.

my husband and I listened to this book every night and at least 10 times he has sideways glanced at me and that's his way of telling me that what Iliza was saying applied to me. I look forward to seeing more of Iliza, she is smart, witty, and just amazing all round (yes total girl crush) thank you for making me feel like I'm not the only woman out there just like me.

I now listen to a lot of the funny reviews amazon has without having to sit there and read them all. I'm free to move about the house laughing my head off. I would love to buy more.
