Big potential that was not used

The narrative part of the book is of a very low quality, with weird pauses in sentences and overall spoken accent which is influencing user’s experience. There is a summary after chapters that are very repetitive of what has been already said, so is the last chapter. It is a good try and Oprah’s story makes it still interesting but in my opinion, the concept and Oprah’s life itself would deserve more thought.

Cindy

I loved this book and Oprah continues to be so courageous, compassionate and I truly admire her.

Enjoyed

Very insightful. I leaned information about Oprah Winfrey that I didn’t know and it was well put together in my opinion. Thank you

Enjoyed the storyline

Thank you for this! My feedback would be that I wish the life lessons section was longer and more elaborate (including stories of their life struggle) and that it included summary of their daily routine so that others can understand what a successful and influential persons daily routine looks like and learn more that. Thank you 🙏

Amazing Life

This was an amazing book about life lessons. Everyone goes through struggles or challenges in life, but that’s what makes us who we are. Oprah you’ve lived an amazing life with successful accomplishments.

Very good book, very poor performance

When listening to audible, a person needs to enjoy the experience. Reading a book is not the same as listening to the book. The information is the same but the presentation is auditory. The presentation was very poor because the voice was annoying. Her voice was monotone. It was hard to enjoy the Audible because the voice is hard to listen to.
I would use a different reader with a soothing voice that fluctuates. I would re-record the same book.. Then I would give it 5 stars.

The worst reader

The narrator is very bad, i can detect her tone in every sentence - monotone.
The story is actually better

Don’t like Narrator

The voice of the narrator hurt my ears and couldn’t get past the first few chapters. That’s unfortunate because it was interesting to learn about Oprah’s life. I would not recommend this book.

Do Not Purchase I want a refund!

This book is read in a monotone voice and repeats well know information about Oprah and her journey. I feel like this person just used Oprah's name to make a quick buck. I hate I fell for it.🤬
