Billie Morgan

This book is remarkably well written and fantastically narrated by the author. Billy Morgan is a humourous, intelligent, straight talking character, who you warm to immediately. As her life unfolds, you gain insight into a dark and cruel world, that only Billy's strength of character, resilience and humour allows her to survive (albeit, not entirely intact).

This remarkably brave writing has the ring of truth and authenticity that can only come from real life experience. I enjoyed reading this book very much, but must caution that it is no light tale and if you are looking for an airy, feel good story - this book it not for you.

However, if you are brave enough to face our society's reality at its worst, if you are ready to laugh and cry, if you want to read a moving and remarkably well told story - Give Billy Morgan a try.

Don't be fooled into thinking this is a book about a biker chick. It's about a messed up woman who has had a rough life from the time her father abandoned her. It's a Cinderella tale without the fairy godmother - well, except when she becomes the fairy godmother for another character in the book.

I actually began this book and put it aside when the going got a little too disturbing. I finally forged forward when I ran out of new listens and am so glad I did. This has to be one of the best I have heard since I finished the Dragon Tattoo series. I only wish Audible would offer more of Ms Denby's novels. The plot meanders a bit, but with perseverance and patience, you will be rewarded with an incredible accounting of the life of Billie and the cast of characters that make up her world.

I have found novels narrated by the author's to be the best so far. I love good narrators and won't finish a book by a bad one. This one is an absolute must. You are watching real life in your mind as this book progresses. The characters in the book all have a life and sound of their own. At no time during this did I think "I wish she would sound more like a guy or an older woman." I was lost in the world of Billie Morgan!

I did have an extreme reaction to this book causing me to quit the book. Kind of like how I felt at the end of the first season of "Breaking Bad." I don't go in for violence for violence's sake. I don't know why, now that I have gone back and finished the book. It was not as bad as I thought at the time. I am so glad I went back to listen to it and so very much appreciate the way that Joolz Denby narrated this. The book is done mostly in first person and it was like I was in a room with Billie listening to her life story.

I think it's unfair to file this book under "Biker Chick Gone Wild". This is a fantastic story of a wronged child who grows up trying constantly to find someone who will love her and not abandon her. I feel strangely protective of this character. If only I could defend her from her "Mum" and let her know that she has worth. Strange that I felt this way by the end of the book. Wonderful tale, great job Joolz Denby!

I loved this novel and look forward to more by Ms Denby

Let me just say that you will not waste your credit. Fact I was completely done with part one; but my husband and I were on a 90min roadtrip. I purposly
started the book over. That so he could enjoy with me. He did but more I thorougly loved this listen even more the 2nd time around.
I wish that Audible would get more my Joolz Denby.

Disappointment. I forced myself to lisen to the first half. While the story had promise, the heavyness of the British accent got old, fast. The story perseverated on one event...I kept saying, "get over it".

Save your credit.
