    "Eh"
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    Although I listened all the way through, I can't quite decide of I liked this book or not. I'm a sucker for celeb biographies, but this really concentrates (for the most part) on one incident resulting from addictive behavior.


    What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

    She reads it herself and has her signature over the top delivery, which is fine.


    Could you see Guts being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

    No

    "Loved everything about this book"

    Every word of this book was entertaining. I haven't laughed and smiled that much listening to any other book. She didn't just read the book, she performed it, and I loved every minute. But it was too short.

    "Loved it!!!"

    I've always enjoyed Kristen's acting. Now I find that she is an excellent author, and narrator!

    It's too bad that she had such trouble with her lifestyle, but "Brava" for her honesty.

    "Insightful and Engaging"

    The audiobook is the story of her addiction, not her life. And frankly is a fascinating because she spares not a detail.

    "One of the best audiobook performances EVER"

    I was never a Kristen Johnston fan prior, but after seeing her appearance on Watch What's Happening Live, I was intrigued by her story. This is one of the best audio books I have listened to. The performance was AMAZING. Laugh out loud funny, even when dealing with some harsh realities of being an addict. Quadruple thumbs up. I highly recommend. HIGHLY recommend. Give it a listen.

    It's a little short, but Kristen knocks this out of the park with her performance and honesty. You'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll be horrified and entertained!

    "Just ok"
    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    No. Not a really good story. Glad she feels better writing it but it's not much of a story line.


    Was Guts worth the listening time?

    Nope

    If you could sum up Guts in three words, what would they be?

    Visceral, Raw, Honest


    What did you like best about this story?

    all of the above...no lulls in storyline


    What about Kristen Johnston’s performance did you like?

    Brought all the emotion the storyline deserved unapologetically...actually physically felt this story in my gut....went there without any prior insight to the storyline...very talented writer and performance.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    just the title says it all...no tagline...one word..like a fist


    Any additional comments?

    inspiring original work about a complex subject
