Listen, get the audiobook! He does all the voices, his mother included, and Yvonne who finishes nothing finished it in three days.

The audiobook is the version. He reads it himself and does his mother's voice, and the chapters about her are the only ones that stayed with me. The comedy-club material is padding.7 out of 10@w_okonkwo

Half of us listened rather than read it and Yvonne kept saying "but her voice though", which isn't a point about the book. Chicago chapters lovely. White House chapters read like a press release, and I do like her.6 out of 10Becoming
