Has anyone else ever started a book on audio, finished it in print, and had two different experiences with it?
I listened to most of I Am I Am I Am, so when I switched to print I found it harder to read and I also wanted to read in a British accent, just like the audiobook narrator had been! 😂 I’m still not sure which experience I preferred though, because overall I wasn’t wowed by the book.

It’s shocking how much Maggie O’Farrell has been through medically, emotionally and physically, from chronic diseases to personal attacks. Her stories are heartbreaking and strung with emotion. However, I didn’t like the structure of the book. The timeline jumps around a lot and I wasn’t sure the significance of that. Therefore, I didn’t enjoy the listening experience because of the writing style.

I appreciated how the author ended the book, tying her daughter’s life to hers, but I found parts confusing and hard to follow up until that part.
I might have had a different experience if I had chosen to read the print copy from the beginning, it’s hard to say. But ultimately, this book was just an ok read to me.
