Well, all the reviews I read said this author was "Just Like Jenny Lawson!" If that is what you are looking for then you better try some other book. Some cute stories were contained, but more often than not they were just every day life, crap that happens to everyone, and the writer could have done better with the story-telling of them. I didn't like the way she jumped all over the place with her stories either. One minute she's telling you about her second marriage, the next she is back in high school, then she's suddenly talking about raising teenagers! Unlike the Jenny Lawson memoirs I've read, there was no flow from one instance to the next. It was just kind of all over the place. And don't get me started about her phone conversations with her friend Sharon, and the Recipe she shares about halfway through. If I wanted to read a cookbook, I have plenty. I didn't need her best friends recipe for chocolate chip cookies. It was just too random! Also, as I did the Audible version of this story, I was really annoyed with the narrator. It wasn't Lyle's own voice, but that of a voice actor and her timing and inflections were not always spot on, making it a little harder to listen to. It might have been a better "read" if I had read it myself. Luckily, I didn't pay any money for this as I used my Audible credit on it and it was ok background noise while I was doing other things. Although it is 3 hours of my life I will never get back. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
THE AMY BINEGAR-KIMMES-LYLE BOOK OF FAILURES is a humor memoir. If you have ever failed at love, finances, been fired, not fit in, self-diagnosed yourself with disorders and conditions and/or said "I really need to get my s*** together," this is the book for you. Delight in Amy Lyle's 45 years of missteps, inadequacies and faux pas. You may appreciate your own dysfunction a little more as you take a journey through Amy's debacles including: "I Was Not Talking to You," where Amy mistakes a handsome man waving at her as a potential suitor but in reality he was only trying to inform her that her belt was dragging on the freeway and "In the Neighborhood," where members of a cult moving in concurred with a suspicious decline in the cat population. You will relish the chapters entitled "Calls from Sharon," where Amy's best friend rants about her kids not getting a fair shot because public schools are 'so political,' as her OB/GYN reported her vagina was 'too clean' and how the most eligible bachelor from 1982 married a whore. Enjoy "I'm Going to Kill You," where Amy compares her lack of sleep from her husband's snoring to CIA agents extracting secrets from a POW. Feel 20-32% better about your own life after reading "Getting Divorced Sucks," where 911 was called after Amy had an adverse reaction from taking Xanax. THE AMY-BINEGAR-KIMMES-LYLE BOOK OF FAILURES is for anyone who has experienced their own disasters or takes pleasure in the failures of others. Includes Book Club questions. Comedy. Women humor. Funny non-fiction. Blended families. Summer read. -- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
