The absolute G.O.A.T.

Really learning about Mr. Pryor’s life is not only heartbreaking but eye opening! It’s done so well.

WoW!!!

That's the review. The audiobook overall, the performance of the narrator, the captivating story that pulls you in with mixed emotions ranging from comedy to sadness... is "WoW"

Sound Quality

Narration speaks to the sentiment & mood of the stories, moments, era and comedic impact of Pryor.

Outstanding!

A classic tragedy hidden in comedic success. Fascinating, written and performed most excellently! A definite winner 100%. I highly recommend this "book" if you like heroic stories of underdog odds being met by a modern juggernaut that helped define comdey in many different ways.

Rough story, but worth the time.

This is, alot of the time, a tough listen. But for such unique individual and extremely talented person It’s worth YOUR time. Why the ghost “editors” added plurals on plural words??? Money is always moneys and women is always womens. I’m pretty sure Richard Pryor had a massively higher intelligence than me so the authors needed to add it for the flow of his sentence??? Wish he would’ve stuck around longer, but a disease is a disease. Spend the credit. It’s worth it. —-great narrator by the way

Open Book

This book made me laugh out loud at times. It made my mouth drop wide open at times. I appreciate Richard Pryor honesty with sharing his story. He told the parts that many would take to their graves or deny.

Learning about one of the Greats!

This biography showed me that I didn’t know as much as I thought I did about Richard. It provided a mental, physical, and emotional learning experience of how life can allow you to go up but come down even harder. I truly enjoyed the information of this great actor, comedian, and person. I recommend this book to all that are looking for lessons in life. Rest well Richard.

Emotional

I laughed and cried with this one. I love Rich especially on sesame street ABCs.

Long Love Richard

This was a great outline of Richard Pryor's life. The Narrator did excellent job with making you feel as if Richard wrote it himself. The instead the sad stories were stories of triumph as he continued to live his life the way he wanted to live. Overall great book

Resilience

You never know what a person struggles truly are.
Mr. Pryor revealed his authentic self. And was brave enough to share others as well. I will always be a fan of this man.
