  • Summary

  • Book Review: My Name is Barbra by Barbra Streisand Barbra Streisand's new memoir, My Name is Barbra, is a long 900-plus pages, comprehensive, and fascinating look at one of the most iconic and successful entertainers of all time. Streisand writes about her entire life, from her humble beginnings in Brooklyn to her rise to stardom in music, film, and television. She is candid and honest about her successes and failures, her relationships, and her personal struggles. One of the things that makes this memoir so compelling is Streisand's voice. She writes in a clear and conversational style, and she shares her story with warmth, humor, and insight. She is also refreshingly honest about her insecurities and vulnerabilities. Another strength of the memoir is the level of detail that Streisand provides. She shares stories about her early days as a nightclub singer, her struggles to break into Hollywood, and her collaborations with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. She also writes about her personal life, including her marriages to Elliot Gould and James Brolin, and her struggles with fertility. One of the most interesting aspects of the memoir is Streisand's discussion of her work as a director. She has directed several films, including Yentl and The Prince of Tides, and she writes about her experiences in the director's chair with intelligence and passion. Overall, My Name is Barbra is a must-read for any fan of Streisand or for anyone interested in the entertainment industry. It is a well-written, honest, and insightful memoir that provides a unique glimpse into the life of one of the most iconic entertainers of all time.

Just Awful - Just Commercials, Little Content

This is an awful piece of audio. It has a couple of commercials at the beginning, a 3 minute 'blurb' - not a review or analysis - and then a couple of more commercials. It is the first, last and only 'episode' of this so-called podcast. It feels more like click-bait than podcast and give the impression that maybe it is part of some kind of scheme, rather than and actual podcast. It's free and worth less than the selling price.

The 'Summary' which you see above is LONGER than the actual audiobook.
