Type of read: Commuter Read.

What made me pick it up: I tried to read 'Leslie F*cking Jones' as one of my books for the Tennessee R.E.A.D.s challenge prompt of read a book about a famous or infamous female.

Overall rating: Gahhhh....I have such mixed feelings about this book. Let's get the horrible part out of the way, this was a DNF. I tried so hard. I kept putting it aside, starting other books, and when I found myself absolutely dreading picking this one back up, I knew it was time to DNF. What makes Jones an absolute unit on stage is exactly what her downfall is in the book. She isn't succinct, she rambles, she's going every which way. I should have read the audiobook description as apparently there are over five hours of additional "bonus" material. By bonus material, they mean that she rambled for so long and there weren't any good points they could stop (because she never takes a breath) so they just had to keep everything in. Aside from the length, the very clear straying from the actual written book, and the fact that there are portions of the book Jones would go through every single emotion known to humankind, making it hard to not only follow but feel the authenticity, 'Leslie F*cking Jones' is so full of profanity, it's hard to listen to it after a certain point....and this is from a woman who has the mouth of a sailor and her own full swear jar at home. But when there are sections of the book where every other word is the f-bomb...dang it gets old. There is no way I could recommend the audio version of this book, maybe the print version is better, I'm not sure I really care enough to pick it up and find out.
