I will say though that Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme) has slowly crept into my pantheon of absolute top Mariah songs. The melody, the vocals, the message.

I think the last part is one of my favourite Mariah moments ever.

Try to bring me DOWN
But I won't FACE the ground
I will RISE steadily
Sailing OUT of their reach
Oh, LORD, they do TRY
Hard to make me FEEL
That I
Don't matter at ALL
But I REFUSE to fall
Tell me WHAT I believe
Or lose FAITH in my dreams
'Cause THERE'S a light in me
That SHI-I-I-I-NES brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
 
Ohhh! Meanwhile those of us expecting it to actually be in stores are having issues. Waterstones are not at all helpfully saying “it should be here any time”. :angry:
 
Right, questions, lambs:

Is the audiobook also out there?

Is there any confirmation that the audiobook has everything in then? Or should I go with the book?

And can I download it illegally somewhere? I’m only going to do an Audible trial anyway, so it’s no different.

It's 11hrs+, and there's certainly no suggestion anything has been left out! 100% confident it's all in there.

No idea
 
The audiobook is QUITE the experience, would recommend.

You don't have alternate Amazon accounts knocking around? If not you could open one?
 
You can pay for audible as a subscription to, no?
 
I’m not listening to this but I did put on a bit of Mimi this evening and Ribbon is a BOP I never remembered.

Glad they let Alex review it cause he knows her career and has a lot of time for her.

At first I thought I'd binge-listen to it all day but I think I'll give this an hour or 90 minutes of my time every evening. Savour it.
 
You’re way ahead of me now @dUb

I’ve got just under 5 hours left
 
I'm gonna leave Part IV for tomorrow.

@SDF you've got a storm coming!

WHY was Joanna 'JoJo' Levesque not on the PR list for freebies?

Why is Joanna not listening like the rest of us?
 
I don’t actually like audiobooks as I often drift off, but the preface alone shows why this is essential...
 
Let's see what THIS lovely lady has to say shall we
