Summary

In this remarkable memoir - written with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Buzz Bissinger during her pivotal first years of rebirth - Caitlyn Jenner reflects on her past as she looks to her future. With poignancy and humour, Caitlyn writes about her confusion growing up, the temporary triumph of the Olympics as Bruce Jenner, and the noose of being endlessly described as the ultimate in manhood. She reveals her sense of shame and deceit she felt as she got older, as she went to great lengths to tell lies to conceal her true self. She also delves into her life in the public eye, her marriages and her troubled relationships with her children, what led to her decision to become Caitlyn, and how the transgender community and the world has embraced her new life. Written with a searing honesty, this audiobook shows you the real and true Caitlyn.

interesting to learn so much more about caitlyn/b

i really enjoyed this book. for an autobiography book i thought this wasnt going to be interesting, till i read the reviews and thought give it a try. i learnt so much about his family. e.g. i didnt know he had a brother who died. how his son got his brother name. i enjoyed it because it was so honest and not sugar coated in what the author wanted you to know. it was truthfully and honest.

A very interesting read

I would recommend this to anyone with an interest in transgender issues or even an interest in the general human experience. It's an issue that will have existed as long as any other issues, yet it's only recently society is even willing to openly discuss it.

Of course if you're interested in pop culture / The Kardashians you'll also love it as whether passages are referencing Bruce or Caitlyn (and Caitlyn does say she will refer to herself as both stages / personas in her life), you will get a previously unheard viewpoint.

I can't say I agree with absolutely every topic mentioned, such as views on politics to name just one. But overall I could really see and agree with Caitlyn's opinions. Very candid, no stone is left unturned.

Interesting Book it has some Tea. (Gossip)

A Good book, Very Interesting I would never understand how Bruce now Caitlyn Jenner felt because I don't have the same problem with my identity, So I would never understand how a Transgender person feels but listening to Caitlyn was eye opening we all deserve to be happy in our own skin and she wasn't. I do think some of the things Caitlyn said about Kris was harsh she didn't say anything bad but it sounds like she regrets marrying Kris and only married her because of the Children. Otherwise it's a great touching book.

Freedom!! Absolutely fun and informative reading!

That's my favourite word - Freedom. However, just like any human being I can be very judgemental. I'm usually a free minded person, so much so that it can even bother others. I do think everyone have the right to live their lives the way they want as far as they don't harm themselves in any way. I "met" Bruce Jenner over the quarantine when I was tired of watching the news and getting scared of what is going on in the world. I never watch TV if I'm not learning something from it but because I needed not to think of anything, for some reason the Kardashians seemed a great idea. I started with season 1 and started getting confused on why Bruce suddenly decided to be a woman. "A man that was so macho and a great father, why? why?" I kept asking myself and that led me to this book. Caitlyn, I'm sorry you went through so much to finally get to leave the life you wanted after so many years. I think you are definitely lucky to have the opportunity that many don't have, I mean the financial means, and I'm happy for you that you are finally living YOUR life and not everybody else's. To all those people that go through this same issues, I can only say I hope and pray you can find yourselves living your lives sooner than later.
I can just say that this book was very informative and reminded me of an old lesson, never judged, look for facts.
I would like to point out that in the beginning of the audio I didn't like much the readers' voice and wish Caitlyn was reading it. That was just the first 2, maybe 3 first chapters. After that either the reader was more comfortable reading the book or I was so into the book that I enjoyed every voice she made, every "voice expression" , it was just so much fun. I literally couldn't put the earphones down and even earned a "marathon reader badge" saying that if it was my shoes I had "worn them out today alone".
Really enjoyed this book and definitely I'm a bit more informed about issues I once found myself judging or not being comfortable with.
Amazing book, well written and well read!!

Disappointing

Quite dull considering she has had such an eventful life. She's very conceited which makes it an annoying listen.
