Summary

In this remarkable memoir - written with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Buzz Bissinger during her pivotal first years of rebirth - Caitlyn Jenner reflects on her past as she looks to her future. With poignancy and humour, Caitlyn writes about her confusion growing up, the temporary triumph of the Olympics as Bruce Jenner, and the noose of being endlessly described as the ultimate in manhood. She reveals her sense of shame and deceit she felt as she got older, as she went to great lengths to tell lies to conceal her true self. She also delves into her life in the public eye, her marriages and her troubled relationships with her children, what led to her decision to become Caitlyn, and how the transgender community and the world has embraced her new life. Written with a searing honesty, this audiobook shows you the real and true Caitlyn.

Horrible narrator!

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

I could not get past a few hours as the narrator is horrible. .

What didn’t you like about Erin Bennett and Caitlyn Jenner - introduction ’s performance?

It sounds like a computer is reading the book.

Any additional comments?

But from what I heard, the book is good and I fully plan to read it.

Read this and learn about life long challenges

Would you listen to The Secrets of My Life again? Why?

Caitlyn reveals facts about her life that really no-one has the right to know. This is an amazing story, until you realise is is not a story, it is a revealing real life experience. I am sure re-reading will give an even better perspective of Caitlyn's life.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The main character in this book is Caitlyn without ignoring Bruce. Everyone else are almost reduced to bit characters, even though some of Caitlyn's supporters are clearly extremely important people in her life

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The moment when Caitlyn (still Bruce at that point) was contacted by the gossip magazine, the editor's main purpose appeared to be to humiliate the subject of his article. What a terrible society we live in that gets pleasure from the suffering of others. It must have been so difficult for Caitlyn or anyone else in that position.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

You can both laugh and cry at this book. The torment of a younger Bruce eventually arrives at the release of the Woman inside, which takes you on an emotional journey from sadness to joy.

Any additional comments?

Oscar Wilde was quoted as saying "Be yourself, everyone else is already taken" Caitlyn's journey shows that this is easier said than done, why? Unfortunately because of the pressures of society and human nature which doesn't like anything outside of the "norm". If this book helps one person to be more tolerant, accepting or understanding it has succeeded. Unfortunately it is unlikely that those who show signs of prejudice will read this book, shame.Caitlyn is very personal in this book and I am sure the pain and distress that she describes so well has also been experienced by too many others, not necessarily just the anguish of being Trans*.Personal and well narrated.

Interesting Book it has some Tea. (Gossip)

A Good book, Very Interesting I would never understand how Bruce now Caitlyn Jenner felt because I don't have the same problem with my identity, So I would never understand how a Transgender person feels but listening to Caitlyn was eye opening we all deserve to be happy in our own skin and she wasn't. I do think some of the things Caitlyn said about Kris was harsh she didn't say anything bad but it sounds like she regrets marrying Kris and only married her because of the Children. Otherwise it's a great touching book.
