magikspells's review against another edition
I didn't dislike this as a memoir, but a lot of things are framed from a very religious perspective.
rballenger's review against another edition
Type of read: Weekend/Lunch time read.
What made me pick it up: 'I'm Still Here' was on my list to read last year and unfortunately I never got around to it, I'm glad I was able to get it back in library loan this year.
Overall rating: I've read a few books with similar themes as 'I'm Still Here' and each time, I feel like I read them more for personal education and growth than to write a review and "enjoy" a book. That said, I'm not going to give this book a star rating. I feel it wouldn't be serving a purpose. Everyone is going to get something different out of it. Personally, I'm thankful that I got some much-needed, wanted, and appreciated perspective and education. Thank you to Channing Brown for sharing their story and for doing it in a way that allows the reader to reflect and grow.
