The Last Black Unicorn Audio CD – Unabridged, October 2, 2018

Quick and entertaining read. Increased my respect for Tiffany.

Didn’t really know much about Tiffany except as a comedian before reading this book. This book lays out her whole life and the depth with which she shares is profound. Tiffany, life has been so very hard on you but you show that it is possible to find the good in horrible situations ( lemons into lemonade). You show that you can improve your life situation with hard work, determination and faith, and that you can have a positive impact on others through sharing your life story. Thank you so much for writing this book and sharing you with us.

I read a lot of reviews and some people complained about the profanity and the grammatical errors. LOL, you are reading a Tiffany Haddish book, what do you expect? She curses a lot and the grammatical errors are not really errors if that's how she speaks in her daily life. She keeps the verbiage true to how she really is and I appreciated that. It made the book even funnier to be able to read her story and to picture her having a conversation with another person while using her own words, ebonics, slang, profanity, and all. The way the book is written, the dialogue, and the grammar are purposeful in my opinion. Is it vulgar at times? Yes, but she is keeping it real and I don't think she should change that now. There are times of course that a person has to show some decorum but in her private life, I don't see why she needs to change that. I grew up in New York so I am familiar with how blacks and Latinos speak and this does not make us less intelligent than anyone else. This is just a way of life when you grow up inner city or in "the ghetto" and I say that proudly. There is no shame in growing up poor either if you work hard to better yourself. Aside from that, the book is great because it really outlines her entire life, her struggles, her thoughts, and her rise to fame while still showing the kind of person she is to this day, humble, deserving and hard-working. I highly recommend the book to those that will not be offended by the language and if you are then why buy it in the first place?

Tiffany Haddish is the first celebrity to write a book while her star continues to rise. From my experience from reading many celebrity memoirs, most of them write their life stories when their careers are on the tail end or a crisis has happened. Not so with Tiffany, "SHE READY!" and she is ready NOW! To do what? To show the world who she is, who she has been, and what she hopes to be moving forward... and no doubt to cash-in while her star is HOT!As I read this memoir, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Tiffany is krazy with a "K." The way the book is written it's definitely ADHD status (no pun attended), but it jumps around a lot, but it's PERFECT! Why? Because it works! It fits Tiffany's personality! If it were written any other way it would not come across as authentic. I can tell Tiffany meant for it to be funny, but at other times, some things that occurred in her life was no laughing matter. For instance, having an absentee father and a mother with a mental illness is a lonely world for a girl to grow up in. In addition to the emotional and mental neglect was the repeated physical abuse she endured by her mother and husband, and even from the kids in foster homes.Still, Tiffany is a survivor in every way, with a determination not to ever give up! She fights her way through ridicule, abuse, and a male-dominating industry, in order to make her way to the top. She's a raw talent whose honesty is identifiable by the average person. In life, we can be a "Betty Downer" or a "Winnie Woe is Me" or we can learn from our experiences and use them as a way to learn and heal as Tiffany did. Some of us learn by vicariously living through others and some of us learn from hands-on experience, Tiffany is the latter. She's learning and she is growing from her experiences.I enjoyed the book for the laughter and fun, but most of all for its honesty and the way it was written like a conversation between two girlfriends.I wish Tiffany continued success!

This was a great read! It was funny and sad all into one and I wish her all the success in the world.

I got the book on Monday and finished it on Tuesday. Tiffany did a good job detailing her life in this story. I enjoyed it. I love a story with those who failed and never gave up. It makes them who they are today. Congratulations, Tiffany!

Back in June, I heard her 1 hour interview with The Breakfast Club. It was the first time I basically heard her speak on the things she had been thru in her life. I was blown away - to hear her talk about her pain & struggle in such a matter of fact yet hysterically funny way. At first I thought she was joking until I saw her wiping the tears away.Then Girls Trip came out and she started doing the press junkets for the movie. I could not stop laughing when she appeared on The Jimmy Kimmel show and told the story about taking Will Smith & Jada Pinkett-Smith on a swamp tour.Then she started her press tour for the book. I decided to make the purchase on Thursday, Dec 7th. It arrived Friday afternoon (wasn’t supposed to be here until Saturday - thanks for that Amazon!). I watched her “The Daily Show” interview on Thursday evening and fell out laughing and started reading a little bit of the book. I started reading the rest of it (today) Saturday morning (and found myself reading it in Tiffany’s voice). It’s incredible that with all the negative experiences she’s encountered (beginning at a young age) that she’s even still here. By the time I finished reading it, I felt like there’s probably more that she’s been through that she didn’t include. I also felt that I needed a nap cuz it was an emotional roller coaster (between laughing hysterically, getting pissed off at the way she was treated and crying at the way her mom and husband abused her).I’m so happy that her future is looking much brighter and that she has been able to maintain her positive mindset. Congrats Tiffany!Next I’m purchasing the audio version. I have to remember not to play it while driving because I WILL have an accident!

I’m not a huge fan of comedy biographies but I sure enjoyed this one! Tiffany is brutally honest, her life was hard but she tells you with no extra-drama! And boy, she is FUNNY! It was a pleasure to read the book

Raw, fun and beautiful all the way through. Tiffany Haddish is an amazing comedian, and it shows, but she has lived through some really rough patches to get to where she is, and putting all that out into the world is quite brave.

笑いあり、逆に冗談では済まないものと、入り乱れた内容で、驚嘆するTiffany Haddishの人生。何故そこまでされてまで元の男のもとに戻るのか、父親の蒸発、母親の精神病棟行き、Foster careで育った心理として相手が誰であれ「捨てられること」を人一倍恐れたのかも知れない。天性のSense of Humorで十代からComedianを目指すが、ここまで十代にして波乱万丈でなくとも良いだろうと思わざるを得ない。彼女は、中学３年生くらいまで読み書きができなかったが、その後それをあっという間に習得しているので、実はHigh IQの持ち主だろう。稼いだ多額のお金でブランド物に浸るより、預金していたいという心理も、そんじょそこらの奴らと彼女は違う。P.274から彼女の纏めの文章がある。"When I go onstage to do comedy, it's about me. I feel accepted for who I am... Being onstage is my safest place. It's the only place I've ever felt like nobody's going to jump up and beat me..."。彼女が本書の中で"Safe"という単語を連発するには、それなりの人生が背景にあることがわかる。誰にでも"feel accepted"を得ることは、この上なく嬉しいことだが、誰でもAcceptされないことは多々ある。でも彼女は負けずにReaderにうったえかける："I want us to grow roses out of the poop"。ちょっと勇気をもらえる一冊だと思うし、彼女を応援し続けたい。

Lectura muy divertida, si conoces la trayectoria de la autora.

現代のアメリカが抱える問題を黒人の目から観たありの姿を作者のストレートな意見で面白く書き上げられている作品です。さすがコメディアンと思いえる考え方と観かたを感じ取れる作品でした。英語が理解できて、ブラックジョークが理解できる人にはお勧めの本です。
