Not My Type

One Woman vs. a President

De: E. Jean Carroll

Narrado por: E. Jean Carroll

AN INSTANT INDIE, USA TODAY, AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

“The world knows that Carroll prevailed in her gazillion-dollar lawsuits against Trump for defamation and sexual abuse. But hearing her describe that courtroom battle in her own smoky, mirth-filled drawl is an experience too delicious for the printed page. Which is why you shouldn’t read Not My Type—you should listen to it.”—The Washington Post

"How can a memoir about being sexually assaulted and taking the assailant—a former president of the United States—to civil court for both the attack and defamation be so hilarious and life-affirming? Probably only E. Jean Carroll could pull that one off, and she delivers it best in her own voice." — Slate

A hilarious, hopeful, revelatory behind the scenes account of the trials that riveted the nation

You’ve heard about the tantrums, the seething, the storming out of court, yes. But what about E. Jean’s side of the story? What about the flight suits, the bottle of green Chartreuse, and the bob?

Not My Type puts you in a better seat than the jury box.

You will hear Alina Habba, Esq., “Trump’s most beautiful attorney,” asking E. Jean to “list” the people she has “slept with”—a list which turns out to be so marvelous, it is worth twice the price of this book. You will experience the fear and loathing of E. Jean’s “psychiatric evaluations,” and hear how she tries to cheer up Trump’s gloomy, $750-an-hour shrink by telling him about the strange white tablet Hunter S. Thompson gave her.

You will be in on the choosing of the “clothes for court,” and the creation of “the look”: a look that will help the jury connect the younger E. Jean who is attacked by Trump in Bergdorf’s with the older E. Jean who sits in the courtroom.

It’s all here: two dazzling trials, the full-tilt high stakes, the laugh-out-loud commentary, and the inspiring fact that a woman is never too old to get even.

“Carroll reads with emotion as she relives her traumas and triumphs, her voice alternately cracking from the strain of holding back tears, dripping with exquisite snark or overflowing with joy. The result is a moving and serious listening experience that is also a lot of fun.” — BookPage (Starred Review)

"Delightful . . . We already know that E. Jean Carroll looked smashing when she went to court versus Donald J. Trump. But her irrepressible voice was, necessarily, repressed...Now she is saying pretty much everything." —The New York Times Book Review

"Buoyant." —The New York Times

I wanted to like it

I want to like it because I hate Trump, and I'm still happy I bought it because I love this book to be number one just to make him mad, and I'm sorry for everything is you went through and I love what she's doing with her money. However, a lot of the book was hard for me to relate to because it felt more like reading a diary than reading a story. It was a lot of self repeating and self motivation, and talking about how much pieces of clothing cost. And I don't know if we were supposed to relate to someone who shops at those stores but here in Minnesota I can't relate to that. So every time she said how much a pair of shoes or a shirt cost and I'm like that's more than I would spend a whole outfit, or the repeated organic food descriptions, I did become a bit disenfranchised. It sounded more like something that someone who would hang out with Trump would write.... It was also very vague about the descriptions of the trump Part of the story. That's the part I think I would've enjoyed more. some of the descriptions were cute and clever, but weren't overly hilarious to me, and seemed heavy-handed. It sounded like you could tell the person was 81 writing it and she is so I have a feeling that this will speak to older women than me, women who are in their 60s and up. She also goes on and on about how much she loves her lawyer so I looked up her lawyer and there's all the stuff about her lawyer and employee practices and I'm surprise she didn't touch on that at all, so bias there too. Oh well, everyones story is bias.

The only thing better than reading this candid account of Carroll vs Trump is listening to her tell it. Pour yourself a drink and imagine yourself across the table from her in a booth at your favorite watering hole.

Wonderfully written, beautifully told

This book had me captivated from the first few minutes. It was not only a gripping account of the trial, but written in a way that was descriptive, precise, funny, while maintaining total seriousness about the topic. I loved the many analogies Carroll used to describe things. Such a great writer.
