"I love Joyce's voice when reading her own autobiography, she can imitate people so well, especially in phrasing. Everything comes to life. Not much has been cut from the printed edition. This clocks in at roughly three hours. She recorded this in 1976, three years before her death." — Estara (5 out of 5 stars)
