Listening to Maya Angelou's voice is a treat. Her insightful point of view is heartwarming and moving. It ended too soon, enjoyed listening very much.

I love everything Maya Angelou ever wrote . The stories are very interesting and I am hypnotized by her voice.

Loved it!

I always wondered about he books. Loved this one. She is full of wit and this little book brought me joy and a good belly laugh!

A gift

I read this book when it first came out years ago. However, to hear it in the voice of our Dear Maya, takes on a completely enriching tone. She has transitioned the physical world, but like the pyramids, she still stands tall among the best! Giving, teaching us pearls of real life.

Maya never fails to feed the soul

I am frequently astounded with the words and poetry of Maya and the pastoral timing she has to relate to all things happening in my and life itself. This book, is another timeless work that I would continue to pass down to my family and friends.

How even though Maya was many years my senior...her life and mine were SO SIMILAR!"

I liked EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK! Maya is my favorite author of all times..she reminds me of my Momma, my Granny. my biological aunts and my church aunts! I wish I could have met her! Fly high Queen Angelo...fly high my Queen!❤️

A short Inspiring and Touching book

Would you listen to Even the Stars Look Lonesome again? Why?

Yes, there are so many gems of wisdom and to see how Maya handled various challenges in her life. There is a story Maya shares about leaving her home when she was 17 and with a 3 month old baby. The advice her mother gave her was priceless. No spoiler here, you have to hear Maya tell it in her own words.

Clear and beautiful narrative

Another perfectly written and read text by Maya. Wish I had met her. She is honest as always and plain open

Life’s beautiful lessons

After I lost my mother 3 years ago, it seems I’ve found the guidance I’ve been searching for in Maya Angelou.

Awesome read

Totally able to see and feel what she read... and understand why the stars look lonesome
