's review

really liked it

My first audiobook and I chose a good one to listen to, love Patti’s speaking voice. I never knew much about her, she’s over a decade older then me and I wasn’t ever into punk music at all. This was very interesting though, how she met Mapplethorpe and how they got by in New York, their bohemian lifestyle, and the people who they spent time with. What a special relationship these two “kids” had!
I will make sure to listen to M Train in 2019!

Bianca Way to go, Karen! The first one is the hardest! I've become an audiobook addict. Great review.

Thank you Bianca 😊


Canadian Jen This has been sitting on my physical shelf for years! I need to get to it. Great review 👍


Jennifer ~ TarHeelReader Yay! Your first audio! I have this book, and I may have it on audio. I’d definitely love hearing Patti read it. Lovely review, Karen!

Stacey I'm always on the lookout for a good audio! I have this book, but will try to track down the audio. Thanks for the great review :) For rock n roll audios, Heart has a memoir that's read by Ann and Nancy Wilson and it's great.


Cheri I'm so happy that you loved this, Karen, I only know the one song of hers, but I have loved the two books of hers that I've read, and hope to read more of her books. I suspect that this will always be my favourite of hers, though!

I had no idea that she wrote so much poetry! I will be reading M Train!


PorshaJo Glad you liked this one Karen! A great audio for sure. I have M train, though it's print. Hope to read it soon too! Good luck on future audios.

Thank you PorshaJo... I think audio is where I will go for non-fiction reads 😊


Lisa (NY) Glad you tried an audio Karen! I have this on my TBR shelf but it sounds like it would be a great listen.

Check out In Cold Blood. Non-fiction, great audio narration. And that was my first audio. :-)

Peter Kemp Patti's music isn't punk. Good old rock n roll.
