Official Review: The Sugar Queen by Lina Kennedy

[Daniel_]

It's good to know that Lina ended up becoming a good parent despite what she passed through as a young child.
This is a book to read.
Thanks for the great review.

[Fazzier]

It must have required a lot of strength for Lina to overcome the traumatic experiences she had as a child to be a successful businesswoman. I can't wait to read it. Thank you for the excellent review!

[Wordlessly]

Sounds inspirational and heartbreaking too. From what I've sampled, I agree about the gifted storyteller part because I was hooked throughout. Thank you for the well rounded review.

[Shrabastee Chakraborty]

Thanks for the wonderful review! From reading the excerpt, I found her voice very powerful. I loved that she approached sensitive subjects with a steady objectivity.

A very compelling memoir that reminds one the resilience of the human spirit. I am truly intrigued and I have to read Lina's story. She overcame so many hurdles and sharing her life so candidly is testament that whatever one desires they can achieve with focus and determination despite their past. Thank you for such a wonderful review.

What a timely book for women's day! Since I love reading memoirs about overcoming adversity, this book deserves a place in my list.

[AvidBibliophile]

Seems to have been well written in every regard, and it’s always nice when memoirs are able to include some personal photos as well! You often hear of people wanting to “run away and join the circus,” yet you never seem to meet one. Until now!

While this book sounds beautifully written, the sexual abuse makes me think it will not be a good fit for me. I imagine others will find this story of persistence and triumph over challenges inspiring though! Great review!

[Ashiyya Tariq]

Her struggle to get out of such abusive circumstances is really awesome. I'd love to read this book. Congratulations on BOTD.

Yes this book can be condensed into a single word "WOW". This is truly an inspiring memoir. Nice review.

[Jeremie Mondejar]

Thank you for the warning. How talented she was at 12 years old! Indeed, Alcoholics Anonymous program help a lot of people like her father. However, the contents of the book is not for me.

Wow! What a book. The part I love the most is the part she vested so much love on her son, giving the love she never received during her early years. Congrats on BOTD

[InStoree]

An inspiring story that highlights the life tough struggles and the strength of overcoming them. I'll add it to my shelf. Amazing review! Thanks!

[Purti10]

I would love to read this book to take some inspiration from her journey. I hope there is a lot people can learn from this book. Your review is amazing. Thanks!

[Nonso Samuelson]

I can't get it out of my head that she was sexually assaulted by her father as an infant. That is a really terrible thing for anyone to go through. It makes Lina's fighting spirit a lot more admirable and inspiring. Thanks for this review.
