Why people recommend it
My Name Is Barbra by Barbra Streisand is a massive and detailed autobiography in which the legendary entertainer reflects on her storied career, personal life, and artistic achievements. Megyn Kelly recommended the audiobook version on The Megyn Kelly Show, praising the fascinating behind-the-scenes stories and noting how much she enjoyed listening to Streisand narrate the book herself, despite their starkly different political views. On The Book Review, Gilbert Cruz discussed the expansive 970-page memoir as a major literary release within the celebrity memoir genre. Cruz later welcomed Alexander Jacobs onto the same podcast to analyze the nuances of the monumental text following the completion of the review process. Across these broadcasts, critics and commentators highlighted the sheer scale of the memoir, the appeal of hearing the author's own voice on the audiobook, and the cultural significance of Streisand finally documenting her life story in such exhaustive and engaging detail.
