What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter, and Me Audiobook

" Read this aloud to someone who has an unusual obsession with Rielle Hunter (surpassed only by her obsession with Bunny Mellon). It is mostly a catalog of salads Hunter ate during the extramarital portion of her affair with John Edwards. When she isn't fondly reminiscing about these exceedingly memorable salads she is making hilarious excuses for her own poor behavior and that of John Edwards. If nothing else, the frequent and obvious typos were riveting. "

" I just couldn't resist reading this book, but that's two hours I'll never get back! From the 20+ typos, it's obvious that the editors didn't care too much about this book either. Rielle Hunter is a new agey quack job whose purpose was clearly to (1) tell everyone John Edwards did nothing illegal with campaign money, and (2) blame Elizabeth Edwards for John Edwards piece of shit behavior. At the end of today, who cares?! "

" This book was literally no more and no less than what I expected. It was fine, considering what it was. "

" Book was very self-serving. Edwards and Hunter deserve each other. Both are very egotistical. Save your money - do NOT buy! "

" A dreadful cast of characters, hideous writing and a complete absence of editorial input! "

" Most typos I've ever seen in a book. My red pen finger was twitching. Interesting to read after having read The Politician. Someone's/everyone's lying. "

" I have never read a book that inspired such intense Schadendfreude. Every page gave me a powerfu new reason to despise Hunter. "

" I was curious to read this book all because of Senator Edwards and how did he end up to have a sleazy affair to Rielle Hunter. I don't get it, this girl is delusional and narcissistic. I did not finished this book because I feel for Elizabeth Edwards. "

" This book should have been called "Confessions of a Delusional Diva." "

" Don't waste your energy to read this pre madonna live in her false sense of reality. I have no respect for a person that wants to share her "truth" in the role of a mistress and bash the true wife (as imperfect as any relationship is). LOSER "

" I'm not a Democrat or liberal in any form but I was curious about the book since I remember the story in the media a few years ago. "

" No, I did NOT pay money for this book-- nor would I!!! What a bunch of losers "

" Wow. This woman is so dumb and deluded that I actually would feel sorry for her if she weren't so intent on trashing so many other people! Good for Cate for finally giving John Edwards the ultimatum to cut her out of their lives! "

" Not well written, but it gives the reader a view of John and Elizabeth Edwards' marriage that allows for some compassion for John. Not surprisingly, what we see in the media just isn't the whole story. "

" This book was the last piece to this unending media storm of John Edwards and his private life made public. I read this book to see who this 'other' woman was inside. Although I don't necessarily agree with the choices Hunter made, the book shared a new side to the story. "

" I am giving it one star because at least she wrote it in English. "

" This book had a lot of wine drinking, lots of traveling all over the country, and lots of talk about "true self." I liked hearing Rielle's point of view (as dumb as it may be), but the book was just ok. It wasn't nearly as exciting as I thought it might be. "
