I'm a fan of VEEP and this production with Selina and Gray was well done. Their banter back and forth was great. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane. If you enjoyed VEEP you will likely enjoy this audio production. Great narration.

Disclaimer: My enjoyment of the narrator is based on my listening speed. I only leave 5 stars for books I've listened to or will listen to multiple times. I'll update my review if I listen again.

Go. Get it. Now.

I read the book about a week ago... and I wasn’t sure if listening to the audiobook would be worth it... oh was I wrong. Let me tell you, you in for a treat!!! 6 hours well spent, laughed the entire time, “Selina” and “Gary” do a spectacular job!!! I can’t get enough of my Veep.
P.S. I was considering to leave the one star review so Selina can have someone write a book about her childhood...but just couldn’t help myself.

Absolutely LOVED this book

I have watched the show VEEP on HBO many times over. I am a huge fan of Julia’s and her performances- not only in the show, but during the reading of A woman first: First woman. Reading along with the hard copy was an essential. “Redactions” that Selina Meyer marks for Gary Walsh (pages 65-71 as one example)— made it necessary to pause and read the “redacted “ paragraphs— it was hilarious. This was exactly the type book I would’ve expected Mike McLintock to— not so much write (he definitely placed some of his own odd anecdotes here and there) but to blindly transcript Selena’s words directly onto the paper without much regard for potentially incriminating/de-throning language. Worth every minute!

Loved it!!!

If you like Veep you will love this book ! Up close and personal with Selina Meyer

So f*cking good!

How can you not love a story about Selina's presidency read by Selina and Gary? Amazing!
