This is the second attempt at writing a
review for my third audiobook listen.
It was The
Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish. This book’s title was gotten from the
funniest and possible the hardest memory from her childhood, and that was being
bullied and called names.
This ook starts with Tiffany introducing us
to her struggles in High school. She shared stories from how she chased her
crush around, to joining the drama club, becoming the mascot as well as not
being able to read till way into 9th grade.
Tiffany shows us what it means to be a
hustler and an overcomer, with her constant scheming and her commendable
negotiation skills.
She takes us on a journey of how she found
comedy to her family struggles. Being the least favourite child of her
successful mother who ends up in an accident that turned her psychotic and to
the step father who confessed to being responsible for the crime but later
denying it.
One thing is for sure in this book, Tiffany
got stories to tell. Some about Dating, a few about pimping, sex with a
handicap named Rosco, working Bar Mitzvahs and the whole nine yard of foster
care.
In an attempt to keep this short, I’m going
to share my Opinions now.
*Spoiler alert* Don’t read further if you
would want to read this book.
For me this book was a lazy attempt at
writing an autobiography. I sincerely wanted to love it but I just couldn’t. It
was all over the place. The stories felt exaggerated. And there were barely any
life lessons to learn. Truth is if you are looking to read a compilation of
compositions, this is the book.
However, you are probably going to leave it
feeling a little bit confused about why you needed to read it.
Tiffany had great stories but I wish she
had realised why she needed to go through those things and written a book full
of stories backed up with lessons.
What
did I learn from this book?
·
Tiffany isn’t lucky she’s been
struggling and hustling for a long time.
·
Jada Pinkett Smith is the big
sister everyone needs.
·
Forward is the only way to go.
In conclusion, only read this if it’s your
last option.
