I was dying for Eden. How badly she wanted a baby! Any woman who has had trouble getting pregnant can surely relate. Definitely did not expect the ending....but I am so glad that even we, the readers, got closure. Excellent read!

Story
Tiffany can't avoid being funny: it's just who she is. But The Last Black Unicorn is so much more than a side-splittingly hilarious collection of essays - it's a memoir of the struggles of one woman who came from nothing and nowhere. A woman who was able to achieve her dreams by reveling in her pain and awkwardness, showing the world who she really is, and inspiring others through the power of laughter.

Finally, someone real!
Reviewed: 08-04-18
Sure, I knew part of this book would be extremely funny. I mean, it’s Tiffany Haddish! However, I was not prepared for how real she got about her struggles. Some of the subjects discussed are not funny at all. They are real, sad and broke my heart. This book is a must read, but listening to the audio was 10x better. I felt like Tiffany was right next to me reading it. Amazing job!

Superstar comedian and Hollywood box-office star Kevin Hart turns his immense talent to the written word by writing some words. Some of those words include: the, a, for, above, and even even. Put them together and you have the funniest, most heartfelt, and most inspirational memoir on survival, success, and the importance of believing in yourself since Old Yeller.

Pickiest Reader Would Be Willing to Give 6 Stars

What an ending!!!
Reviewed: 07-11-15
When I started the book, I wasn't sure if it was my kind of book. Elephants? But I am so glad I stuck with it. First, I have to say that as a mom who loves her child more than anything and who does everything for that child, it was very, very hard for me to understand and connect with Alice. Although I appreciated her passion for her study of elephant grief and the emotional bond she had with Mora (which showed she is capable of love) by the end of the book I felt sorry for her. Shocker moment: the tooth. I had to re-read the part of Virgil realizing he is not of this world. What????? I did not see that coming! Serenity sure is a good psychic!!! Great job Jodi! Excellent book.

The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Every day the same. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

One of the best books I've ever read!
Reviewed: 03-13-15
Once I started reading it, I could not put it down! This book has everything: real life issues (depression and alcoholism), betrayal, lies, murder, survival. Two lessons learned: 1) people are people watchers so beware AND 2) karma will find you. I 100% recommend this book as your next read.

Crazy read!
Reviewed: 03-01-15
It took me forever to get into this book. The narration is too long at times and way too descriptive which makes you lose interest in the book. However, the second half of the book is fantastic. And the end? Brilliant!!

Story
An investigative journalist uncovers a hidden custom that will transform your understanding of what it means to grow up as a girl. In Afghanistan, a culture ruled almost entirely by men, the birth of a son is cause for celebration and the arrival of a daughter is often mourned as misfortune. A bacha posh (literally translated from Dari as dressed up like a boy) is a third kind of child - a girl temporarily raised as a boy and presented as such to the outside world.

I didn't expect to like this book - not my type of read. But it is very well written - it captured my attention from the start and had it until the end. The only downfall is that as a woman living in the U.S., I can't do anything to make the abuse of these women go away.
