Publisher's summary

For decades, Joan Rivers was known as America's top female comedian... her brash unsparing style and truly tenacious spirit inspired both her fellow comedians and her millions of fans. In her own voice, she recounts her personal story from the inside out - her anguish, her anger, her insight, her inspiration - from her rags to riches struggle on the hard way to the top, to the breakthrough act which not only changed her world but also changed the world of stand-up comedy.

Horrible Audio

It's nearly impossible to understand Joan's speech. I've seen her live, and she was phenomenal. This audio book has the poorest sound quality of any of the books I've listened to!

Bad sound quality, good book though

Very good story but the sound? And you call it 'digitally remastered'. You a free being disrespectful to a great and legendary comedian.

Not if you looking to laugh

I appreciate her story and loved the things she went through and how she told them. But I wasn’t able to stay focused long. It was so short but took forever for me to get through. I’d have to start it and stop it because I’d go somewhere else in my thoughts and that only happens when a story cannot hold my attention. I had to speed it Down because she talked so quick. I was disappointed. I thought. Would laugh but it was more a story of her struggles to get famous. She had a family so she wasn’t a rag to riches story. Mainly stubborn and couldn’t accept she couldn’t act. You have to find her humor funny. And to me she was not being humorous and if she was she feel flat. Not recommended if your looking for a laugh. I know her story now and that’s good to know but not worth my credit.

Great autobiography, audio muffled

Loved hearing Joan Rivers story, right up to the end when she finally made it to Carson. As always, it's great listening to the narration in the authors voice, I've listened to quite a few books by Joan. Only complaint; the audio was really muffled and almost inaudible in places, had to turn the sound up LOUD to have a clue to what was being said. Aside from that, excellent!
