    Roseanne Barr is a force of nature. Whether taking the sitcom world by storm, challenging accepted social norms, or battling the wild pigs inhabiting her nut farm in Hawaii, she is not to be trifled with. In this audiobook, Roseanne unleashes her razor-sharp observations on hypocrisy, hubris, and self-perpetuating institutions of questionable value - as well as menopause, pharmaceuticals, and her grandkids. And she's as controversial, original, and funny as ever.

    Fantastic book. Especially since Roseanne herself read it. There were so many things I did not know about Roseanne Barr, and now I have a much better understanding of who she is as a person. Family, Religion, Politics, Sex are all there. I am looking forward to her next book.

    Is this what's in store? June 12, 2030, started out like any other day in memory---and by then, memories were long. Since cancer had been cured fifteen years before, America's population was aging rapidly. That sounds like good news, but consider this: millions of baby boomers, with a big natural predator picked off, were sucking dry benefits and resources that were never meant to hold them into their eighties and beyond.

    Thrilled with this book. I never knew that he was an author, and a great one at that!
    Imaginative, thought provoking, very creative and well written. Thank you Mr. Brooks.

    Story

    As a fellow New Yorker, I could relate to alot of Penny's references as well as her speech.
    I loved the story from beginning to end. Sometimes sad. Most of the time very funny. Great job Penny! Thank you for writing this book.

    “Mom loved adages, quotes, slogans. There were always little reminders pasted on the kitchen wall. For example, the word THINK. I found THINK thumbtacked on a bulletin board in her darkroom. I saw it Scotch-taped on a pencil box she’d collaged. I even found a pamphlet titled THINK on her bedside table. Mom liked to THINK.” So begins Diane Keaton’s unforgettable memoir about her mother and herself. In it you will meet the woman known to tens of millions as Annie Hall, but you will also meet, and fall in love with, her mother, the loving, complicated, always thinking Dorothy Hall.

    ronald says: "Wonderful. Sad. Hopeful."

    When I started the book, I was not sure I wanted to finish. As it progressed, I didn't want it to end!
