I totally enjoyed Mindy reading her own book, although she talks a bit too fast in my opinion. However, there is just something so loveable about her. Loveable, funny and brave. Those are the three words I'd use to describe her. I used to enjoy her appearances on 'The Office' and I knew she was also one of the writers, but I haven't watched her own show. I think I will have to check it out. I think it might be interesting after listening to her book. I shall look forward to more Mindy Kaling projects of any kind in the future. ...more
This was my latest attempt at listening to a book. My past attempts have not been successful. No matter if I was in my car, my bed or living room, my This was my latest attempt at listening to a book. My past attempts have not been successful. No matter if I was in my car, my bed or living room, my mind would wander and I would find myself having to rewind or relisten so many times, it wasn't worth it. I am happy to say that I did fairly well and managed to listen to Rachel Dratch read her book without losing my focus. I am hopeful I can do it again although I will always prefer reading a book than listening to one. I like Rachel Dratch. I liked her on SNL and I liked her on 'The King of Queens.' She talks a bit about her SNL days and doesn't talk about her work on 'KoQ' at all (which is rather telling in itself.) But, imagine my surprise to find out that this book is mostly about her experience at having a baby at 44. Good for her, but I am not interested in stories about babies, having babies, etc. I knew by the time I was a teenager that I would not want or have children. I'm happy for her since she is extremely happy about this miracle (as she calls it) but it's a subject that doesn't interest me, so if I had known before hand, I probably wouldn't have read it. On the other hand, Rachel Dratch is a very likable every woman type and if you don't mind a lot of 'having a baby' talk, I think most would enjoy it. I will admit that my heartstrings were touched to hear how crazy, especially her father, are about their grandson. This baby is very blessed with a great family....more
