LESLIE F*CKING JONES

In her own inimitable style, Leslie Jones tells listeners how she embraced and reveled in her self-worth, and learned more than a few hard lessons en route to becoming a larger-than-life comic performer. Before GHOSTBUSTERS and "Saturday Night Live," Jones came into her own at comedy clubs in Los Angeles and New York City, making a name for herself and developing her voice. No listener can leave this memoir unaffected as Jones laughs and sobs, sharing the highs and lows, joys and sorrows of her full life. Jones's nuanced exploration of her family relationships reveal the complex influence they had on her personal and professional evolution. The author's irresistible personality and candid performance elevates this audiobook production into a must-hear experience. J.R.T.
