    Story
    "Better hearing Diane Keaton than watching her!"
    Where does Slouching Towards Bethlehem rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    One of the best audiobooks I've listened to so far


    What did you like best about this story?

    Varied subjects from the point of view of a young Didion.


    Have you listened to any of Diane Keaton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No. That's the first one, but I've seen many of her films and didn't like her that much.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    The John Wayne article. I agree one hundred per cent, but couldn't have written it. Didion express my feelings in an elegant and sharp way.


    Any additional comments?

    A classic for its contents and performance. Didion is a gifted writer but and inarticulated speaker. Keaton as her 'alter ego' gives her what she lacks.
