You Don't Look Your Age: And Other Fairy Tales af Sheila Nevins
3.5 I highly recommend this as an audio book, because it is read in different celebrity voices: Rosie O'Donnell, Katie Couric, Martha Stewart, Glen Close, Alan Alda, Gloria Steinem and many more. It is a collection of essays/stories by Sheila Nevins and as she says, represents her effort to come out from behind the camera and to share some of her life, rather than chronicling others. Having a birthday that seemed to match the title is what led me to this book and I found it to be humorous and heartfelt, and certainly germane to women's issues, but not fully embraceable. Yet. Maybe after a few more significant birthdays.......… (mere)
gave up about four chapters in. I just didn't find the character interesting or very relatable
I listened to the audio of this and I am certain it had to add to the immense enjoyment. An all star cast of amazing narrators: Glenn Close, Ru Paul, Ellen Burstyn, just to name a few. I laughed, and balked and cried. It was really a great listen and several stories were so relevant to today's headlines I was surprised to see it hadn't just been published yesterday.
A collection of short stories, essays, and poetry written by a woman looking back over her life with the value of hindsight. An interesting way to present a memoir and pass on lessons learnt.
