Scrappy Little Nobody

De: Anna Kendrick

Narrado por: Anna Kendrick

A collection of humorous autobiographical essays by the Academy Award-nominated actress and star of Up in the Air and Pitch Perfect.

"I'm excited to publish my first book, and because I get uncomfortable when people have high expectations, I'd like to use this opportunity to showcase my ineptitude and pettiness and the frequency with which I embarrass myself. And while many of my female inspirations who have become authors are incredibly well educated and accomplished comedy writers, I'm very, very funny on Twitter, according to BuzzFeed and my mom, so I feel like this is a great idea. Quick question: Are run-on sentences still frowned upon? Wait, is ending a sentence with a preposition still frowned upon? I mean, upon frowned? Dammit!" (Anna Kendrick)

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Actress Anna Kendrick narrates her wry and witty collection of autobiographical essays about growing up in Portland, Maine.... Her quick pace, sometimes sarcastic tone, and unmistakably familiar voice enhance funny and shrewd reflections on her ordinary girl's life." ( AudioFile)

Humorous and Nicely Performed

Anna Kendrick's performance of her own composition is humorous and compelling. Her delivery exhibits dead pan and dry humor. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a light and honest read.

She's hilarious!

Incredibly relatable, quirky and humble in her own scrappy little way. The type of girl I could be friends with.

An easy listen

Don't expect to hear too many intimate details or fun stories about other celebs. Compared to others I've listened to Anna's story is fairly low key. I enjoyed hearing her voice and would be interested if she chose to narrate other stories.

Thank you for narrating, Anna!

Kendrick's sassy New England charm and relatable sarcasm made this one of the most enjoyable reads of the year. I rather appreciate how real she gets about self doubt, anxiety, and that some of us will never feel like full adults. It's refreshing when famous people get real about being human. She made me spit out my drink... in public. Enjoy!

Performance

Anna’s lead a very interesting life and really knows how to tell the stories in a way that made me want more. Generally with celeb memoirs my favorite parts are about pieces of their work I’m familiar with. Every time I listen to this one she makes me so intrigued by movies I haven’t seen I end up watching it. You get so much more from this having the author read it also.
