The Mother of Black Hollywood: A Memoir

The best thing I've done this year is listen to a reviewer who said listen to the audio book as opposed to reading the book. I've never been into audiobooks in the past. I've tried and it just didn't work. And I realize it's the narrator not the story. I also realized that I could listen to Jenifer Lewis talk all day.
She's very blunt and real..but not cruel..and very extra. So so extra and theatrical. And I love it. It's a memoir so it's her life story, so far anyways, and some of it is hilarious, some sad and everything else in between. It doesn't seem like she held back. This is her. The good, the bad and the ugly. Being bipolar, her sex addiction but also all the fantastic people she's worked with ( she named dropped A LOT. But I feel like maybe she meant it more as an appreciation for all the talent she's gotten to work with over her very long career. But it can be a bit too much). MAYBE I'd have rated it on star lower if i had read the book instead of listening to it.. All I know is that I do not regret at all finally sitting through an audiobook this time.
