Story
Kenan Thompson is Saturday Night Live’s longest-ever-serving cast member and a star of such pioneering sketches as “Black Jeopardy” and is hugely beloved thanks to a tidal wave of nostalgic fans who grew up on early 2000s classics All That, Good Burger, and Kenan & Kel on Nickelodeon. He’s also a dad (to two girls) in his mid-40s living in suburbia, and whose universal, relatable, family-friendly humor has created unbelievable appeal and engagement from fans from middle America to coastal elites. Becoming a dad sucked the cool right out of him—and he's OK with that!

good but ... feels a tad one sided and I do respect her for being honest about her feelings of the life. but in the gist 3 hours she talks about how poor they are and how they are in the back of there father's Cadillac. I know when I think of poor I think Cadillac!

I am adopted and my family is far from perfect but it really was weird to see how none of them seem to appreciate the people whom adopted them. I could be wrong maybe it wasn't the part of the story that we are focusing on.

Story
In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humor and heart, she tells of growing up one of the few Asian-American kids at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother's particular high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food.

This book is annoying to me. but maybe it's me?
Reviewed: 09-01-21
the first half is how horrible her mom was and how her rebellion drove them.more apart. Then her mom gets sick and she tries to be a good daughter. She sits on her dad and the lady who take care of her mom too. In the end I guess she didn't realize her parents made mistakes just like she did . She forgave her mom but not her father. ( selfish ) Seems a tad entitled and seems like she only carried the weight of her mother's death on her shoulders. even though the father, and her husband also has to feel something. oh well not a horrible book but the 1st time I wrote a review after reading over 500 books.

Story
Lenny McLean was one of the deadliest bareknuckle fighters Britain has ever seen. He had dear, powerful friends, but he also had terrible enemies. So much so that he had two bullet wounds in his back - each from a different attack. He was also stabbed repeatedly - always from behind. But Lenny was also a warm, big-hearted grizzly bear of a man, whose main weakness was an overwhelming desire to put the welfare of his mates ahead of his own wellbeing.

Story
Mindf*ck goes deep inside Cambridge Analytica’s "American operations", which were driven by Steve Bannon’s vision to remake America and fueled by mysterious billionaire Robert Mercer’s money, as it weaponized and wielded the massive store of data it had harvested on individuals - in excess of 87 million - to disunite the United States and set Americans against each other. Bannon had long sensed that deep within America’s soul lurked an explosive tension. Cambridge Analytica had the data to prove it.

glad I read it and now understand.
Reviewed: 12-09-20
The book itself is good the story of his personal life is ok. He seems to talk to much about his sexual preferences that has almost nothing to do with the actual story. As a straight male who doesn't care that he is gay. Was a bit much but the story of Cambridge analytical was great, scary and eye openinh.

Story
Jimmy Breslin can sniff out a story like he can sniff out a rat. Here, he tells a lifetime of anecdotes in his inimitable New York voice, giving us a view through the keyhole of the people and places that define the Mafia: characters like Sammy the Bull, the original snitch; Gaspipe Casso, named for his weapon of choice; and hangouts like Pep McGuire's, the legendary watering hole where reporters and gangsters (all hailing from the same working-class neighborhoods) rubbed elbows and traded stories.
