I've listened to a LOT of audiobooks in the last few years, and there
are some series I'm totally loyal to. This beats all. The story, the
humor, and Wil Wheaton's performance are all incredible. I laughed out
loud multiple times during a marathon practice run! No one laughs during
that misery!
This book is everything... entertaining, inspirational, heart-wrenching,
sad, funny . Trevor performed it perfectly. I learned quite a bit about
the history of South Africa, it was very intriguing. I will recommend
this book to anyone I talk to.
I have been an audible subscriber since 2011 and I generally stay in the
personal development/self help categories, but I am a Kevin Hart fan and
figured this would be a hilarious experience. It was, and you will laugh
from beginning to end with this book. What I was not expecting was to
receive so many practical lessons and success principles that were on
par with the best books in the personal development industry. Most
people don't know the process that Mr. Hart went through to get to the
top. Like he states in the book he's an overnight success 16 years in
the making! You will definitely want to listen to this book multiple
times. I highly recommend it. Not only is it entertaining but you WILL
be motivated to step your game up in whatever arena you have chosen to
play in. GET THIS AUDIOBOOK!!!
I know there are a ton of people who have listened to this book already
and have provided excellent reviews ... hell, that's why I bought the
book. I'm only an hour into this book, but it's already done something
that no other audiobook that I've bought has done before. I was taking
the train into work when I laughed out loud with a thunderous "HA!". I
think I knew that I did it, but after glancing around the train car,
virtually everyone was smiling at me. Dennis Taylor can write ... and
Ray Porter is giving me a great performance. Thank you to everyone's
review I read that convinced me I had to listen to this book. And for
everyone reading this ... buy it. You won't regret it.
This is my favorite Audible purchase to date - I LOVED this book!!! I
laughed out loud or found myself quietly weeping. Great story,
characters and performance.
