The audio version of this book could not be more annoying. I mean it. It could not be. It couldn't even try, because it exhausted itself being so annoying in the first place. It's read by the author, who has a quite passable female voice (male to female transsexual author). Unfortunately, she feels the need to break into song way too often, and the grating, sibilant voice makes you want to shoot yourself in the eardrums. She also feels the need to constantly imitate her "Grammy" in this screeching, high-pitched, mean voice. You won't be able to get through this or the singing. The rest of the book, when the author isn't being so entirely over the top obnoxious, is pretty dry and you may find yourself, as I did, not even noticing it's gone through several minutes. I conked out at CD 4 of 8. Good luck getting further.
