Story
For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight - or the headlines. Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past, just one step ahead of the doubts and insecurities that defined her childhood.

After the negative publicity indicating that Demi would expose the people responsible for her battles, I thought twice about listening. But, I saw this in the same week that St Elmo’s celebrated its 35th anniversary, so I saw this as a sign to give this book a chance.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Demi, the Demi that the media portrayed. This Demi is deep. She surprisingly shares the same insecurities as every woman I know. She’s also had it a lot harder than most people.
There is no blame laid on Ashton or Bruce, or even her parents. She takes responsibility and is accountable for her actions. This is not what the media portrayed, but neither is Demi. There are lessons and messages here for everyone and that makes this megastar very relatable.
I wish Demi all the very best for her future endeavours and thank her for her honesty. Highly recommended to all.

Story
The Greek myths are amongst the greatest stories ever told, passed down through millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. They are embedded deeply in the traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. You'll fall in love with Zeus, marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos, weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis.

Being of Greek descent, I felt that this was a 'must-listen to' type book. Being written and read by Stephen Fry (who made the Harry Potter series and Sherlock Holmes series come to life), the reading paints a vivid picture of the stories. In you mind's eye, you can picture all power Zeus and beautiful Aphrodite.
Perhaps its me, but there really is a lot to take in, and to be honest, I found it difficult to remember each of the tales as the book went on. I am going to re-listen to this, and take in one story at a time, before going onto the next one.

I've read this book, listened to it, listened to it again, referred paragraphs and sections to friends, and have written paragraphs for myself. This amazing memoir makes you contemplate what might be. It remains a source of comfort and inspiration. This is a must read for anyone going through unexpected changes in their lives. It reminds you that whilst change comes at a price, their is transformation and growth, and that is really what life is all about.

Story
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Sometimes, you just need a little make believe to get you through reality 😊. Loved coming back to this story and Stephen Fry is so easy to listen to. Makes the characters come alive.

Listened to this on my travels. Oprah shares her experience, insights, and success, by giving of herself.
I found this book was uplifting and a great way to start the day. Help me realise how much I actually do know, and guided me to action to take in situations where really, I don't have any answers.
Thanks Oprah. You really do everything to you audience
