Do you like to read memoirs? What type of memoirs do you like to
read? Movie stars, pop singers, everyday
people, etc.? I enjoy them all.
Richard Paul Evans is a must-read author for me. I LOVE his Christmas books and enjoy reading
one of his books every year for Christmas.
I especially love them on audiobook.
Sharing Too Much is Richard Paul Evans memoir and thoughts on life. My thoughts about this audiobook:
· The
memoir contained personal snippets about his life, growing up, life right now,
living with Tourette’s Syndrome, and what is important in life.
· I
really liked his message that the problem with youth is that you are blinded by
bling rather than what is important In life.
It’s more important to be kind than to be clever or rich.
· I
loved the story about his wife’s new dog, a cockapoo. She named him Beau for Beau Brummel. I felt like I could be friends with this
wife.
· This
audiobook also had me crying when he told the story of his childhood dog Gertie’s
death. He called her from across the
road and didn’t see the car coming until it hit her right in front of him. He held her while she died. Then his mother made him go to school and
told him to bury Gertie when he returned home.
I told this story to my daughter, and she burst into tears too.
· He
talked about how dogs have unconditional love for you. As an animal lover myself, I felt this.
· He
also described moments/experiences where a premonition or feeling helped him himself
or to make a difference in another’s life.
· There
were also discussions of spirituality and having a relationship with God. He had an interesting discussion about
visions and end of life experiences.
· I
really loved learning thoughts about Christmas from my favorite Christmas author.
· Inspirational
fictional stories were sprinkled throughout.
· Best
of all, Richard Paul Evans himself read his own memoir. I love when the author reads their own
memoir. It feels like a very personal
story.
Overall, Sharing Too Much was a wonderful, interesting,
and inspiring memoir. I was left wanting
more!
Sounds like a very good book. Thanks for the review.
