No doubt, Dolly Parton is an impressive, strong and talented woman. Her confidence is inspiring. She came from humble beginnings and owns her success and credits her hard work.
The audiobook is odd. It's only one side of an interview (you don't hear the interviewers questions, and she doesn't always answer in complete sentences and when that happens you're reminded that it's only one half of the conversation.

Impressive that this many books into a series they're still solid, engaging and gripping. I love the Renee Ballard character.

A tough, challenging and important story to read. My daughter is reading this at school so I decided to read it along with her and I'm glad I did.

A beautiful story that spans decades, starting with 3 distinct threads that eventually intersect and weave together. It takes place in Kerala, India. The book is long and worth it.

I don't often read graphic novels, so this may not be a fair review. The book was incredibly simplified and terse, and much of the nuance and detail obliterated. This was perfect for a clif notes version of a book I'd read before so I could read the 2nd novel, but not good if this was your only view into the story.

Ridiculous and geeky. Good to read on short chunks between other books. A little geeky pallet cleanser.
