My Inappropriate Life: Some Material Not Suitable for Small Children, Nuns, or Mature Adults

I did recommended it to a friend who reminds me of Heather.

The sound of her voice

Ehhhhh.

Only Heather McDonald, maybe her mother

She isn't funny. Her voice is irritating. She truly gets on my nerves.

Absolutely not.

I would use someone else to narrate. She seems to pause mid sentence. She's so affected!

If you buy this, get ready for the over the top eye rolls.

Yes, don't have the author read the book. She sounds awful, pauses at weird places and makes the book hard to listen to. She sounds like she has a cold.

Some of the stories of her childhood were interesting--those about her children were less interesting.

She is very nasal in her talk, stops at odd times and has a very monotone performance. It was almost as if she were doing standup comedy and was waiting for the punchline to hit. She isn't and it was distracting.

Nothing. I feel kind of dirty that I know entirely too much about her excrement habits.

I am not sure I can even finish this audio book. It was definitely a waste of money.

Will someone please tell me why writers insist on reading their own material when there are trained professionals that will make their work sound a million times better? (I know...money!) I think this book would have been entertaining but Heather McDonald's reading was distracting. Her reading is monotone and hesitant. She trips over words and pauses at odd moments making it difficult to follow along with her stories. Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch and Rob Lowe are examples of writers who are able to convey their work in a manner that has made me re listen to every one of their books. Heather McDonald's is not. My advice is to read this one.

The narrator. Heather's narration style/modulation of her voice does not follow the story line. It is very annoying sometimes.

did not finish because the narration really got to me

Paying attention to the whole sentence and reading it according to what is being said. It is important to put emphasis where it belongs and to make pauses where necessary but not in the middle of a sentence where it doesn't make any sense.

I thought the book was funny, not hilarious, but it probably would've been better with a more experienced narrator.

I thought it would be funnier

Her cadence was way off too much California influence for my midwest taste

Just disappointment

Yes, I couldn't stop listening to it. It was filled with entertaining stories and was well written.

It's too bad it wasn't longer.

Yes I would because its her life in the raw........warts and all!

The cookie party story.....

Vocal inflections

No, 4 sittings.

Her stories are so funny because they are relatable. She is so normal even though she is in Hollywood, so all of the stories I thought “oh, I could totally see that happening!”.

I like when the author reads their own book, even if they are not 'professional' audiobook actors. The stories are even better in her own voice.

Yes, you could! I listened in 3 days: in the car, walking around, at the store, my earbuds were glued to my ears!

If you like her on Chelsea Lately, the book is 1000times better!

I found this book to be humorous, funny, and somehow make me wanna listen to it again and again. Love couple of her stories. Can't wait until her next chapter.
