Amazing narration and very conversational story

What made the experience of listening to Drinking the most enjoyable?

The narrator of this book is excellent.It is not author of the book but sounds like she is. I feel like this woman is sitting next to me telling her story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Drinking?

there are many...Just the honesty and accuracy of the unfolding life and the analysis of those small subtle moments in her life that stayed with her.

Have you listened to any of Gabra Zackman’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Haven't listened to this lady until now but you can be very sure I will look for other books she has narrated. A real natural. Probably the best I have heard.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I see it now...

Any additional comments?

Great Storyteller, both the author and the narrator. Probably the only audio book that has had my attention the entire time.

life changing

I was hooked from start to finish. Caroline's writing is so beautiful and raw, and made think differently about addiction. I realised that its like an abusive relationship, messy and heartbreaking and seemingly impossible to quit until you do. I can't recommend enough to anyone (particularly women) struggling with alcohol addiction.

Brilliant read!

Everything about her story struck home and made my smile and cry, and best of all gave me more hope. Another book to recommend to anyone struggling with their relationship with alcohol.

Enjoyed this more than I thought i would

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book and sometimes forgot it was a true memoir. I constantly wanted to know what happened next. I Was saddened to learn after reading this book that she died at only 42 from Lung Cancer.

Well read and well written

The narrator has a lovely voice. A little too wistful at times but easy to listen to. A very well written book. Painful and hopeful at the same time. I enjoyed it.

Life changing

I'm not going to pretend this was an enjoyable listen, in parts it wasn't. But thats not because it was badly written or presented, if anything it was completely the opposite. It was honest, gripping, cringe worthy and uncomfortable but I couldn't put it down. The story is beautifully written and the performance was just outstanding. I really felt I wa listening to the author. Devastating story, but enough to make me think twice about pouring myself a glass of wine. Highly recommend
