" Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: May 1, 2017 Athlete and reality TV star Jenner (Finding the Champion Within) teams up with Bissinger (Friday Night Lights) for a sincere though uneven tell-all autobiography. Jenner jumps back and forth among her childhood, her iconic Olympic decathlon win, and her subsequent fame, while keeping the central focus on her former secret: gender dysphoria and the steps she took to alleviate it, in and out of the public eye. Jenner attempts to explain transgender identification, but despite her candor and vulnerability, a lack of clarity may render her message difficult to grasp,for example, she says she has â,€always been femaleâ,€ while also describing herself pretransition as â,€a man who wears a dress.â,€ Though she says she loves her trans community, this isnâ,€t a book for her trans critics, whose attitude she feels is â,€hostile and exclusionaryâ,€ (she writes, â,€we are all in this together, or at least we should beâ,€). Jenner appeals to the readerâ,€s sympathies: self-deprecating humor abounds, and she shares frank, relatable anecdotes about depression and suicidal ideation. Readers will find her insight on O.J. Simpson fascinating (â,€he was the most narcissistic, egocentric, neediest asshole in the world of sportsâ,€), and fans of the Kardashian clan will take an interest in how Jenner describes her marriage to Kris Kardashian (â,€I am the product and Kris the agent and manager and negotiatorâ,€). While she wonâ,€t win over her critics, her fans will appreciate this candid look into her life. " Rezension(4): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:From the world-famous record-setting all-American hero Bruce Jenner to the transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner, this memoir gives an in-depth look at the life of the most famous transgender woman in the world. Narrator Erin Bennett gives voice to Jenner's autobiography, though Jenner herself introduces the book. Bennett is able to draw the listener into Jenner's stories, both before and after her transition. While telling the stories that the public already knows about Jenner--the Olympics, marriages, fame--she reveals just how much more was going on behind the scenes and in her heart and mind. Listeners will find Jenner's story relatable despite how very different her life has been from the average American's. A.G.M. � AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine"
