À propos de cet audio

 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“I come from a family forged by tragedies and bound by a remarkable, unbreakable love,” Hunter Biden writes in this deeply moving and “unflinchingly honest” (Entertainment Weekly) memoir of addiction, loss, and survival.

When he was two years old, Hunter Biden was badly injured in a car accident that killed his mother and baby sister. In 2015, he suffered the devastating loss of his beloved big brother, Beau, who died of brain cancer at the age of forty-six. These hardships were compounded by the collapse of his marriage and a years-long battle with drug and alcohol addiction.

In Beautiful Things—“an astonishingly candid and brave book about loss, human frailty, wayward souls, and hard-fought redemption” (Dave Eggers, New York Times bestselling author)—Hunter recounts his descent into substance abuse and his tortuous path to sobriety. The story ends with where Hunter is today—a sober married man with a new baby, finally able to appreciate the beautiful things in life.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"No one could narrate this punch-in-the-gut memoir more powerfully than its author, Hunter Biden, President Biden's younger son. It is his story: raw, unvarnished; filled with despair, anger, and redemption. An alcoholic who first drank at the age of 14, he later added crack cocaine to his pharmacopoeia. In his view at the time, he was functioning just fine—until his brother, Beau, died. After that, his addiction increased dramatically, his entire life narrowing to the search for his next hit. Biden's phrasing and rhythm increase the intensity of his story. His staccato intonation suggests that if he doesn't say it quickly, he might not say it all. The roller coaster ride will leave listeners breathless."

Hunter's narration seemed sometime monotone, but considering the gravity of the subject, is warranted. So happy love was the catalyst for his sobriety. Hoping his children and former wives can accept the fact that though he couldn't get sober for them, he is recovering and alive to love them.

This is a story of loss, pain and personal recovery. Hunter Biden is a work in progress, and this book is a generous insight into his life and experience with trauma, addiction and unfailing love. It’s not a how-to, nor is it necessarily a cautionary tale; instead it’s an honest retelling of the pain of loss, the reality of drug and alcohol addiction, and how the constant and loving devotion of family can light even the darkest of ways.

What an extraordinary story. It's a riveting from beginning to end. Hunter Biden is a highly educated, highly accomplished individual from a famous and accomplished family. The juxtaposition of this background with his dramatic decension into alcohol and drug addiction is breathtaking but it is his ability to tell the story with such passion and artistic nuance that truly makes this story so compelling. He has the ability to describe a mundane happening in a way that makes it sound like the script from a Hollywood Hit movie, but at the same time his heartbreaking honesty and total candidness provides an intimate and raw look into the dark lurid reality of Crack addiction. The message you are left with is that love and connection is the most important and healing thing in life, and that without it we are all doomed. Addiction is an illness, not an act of criminality. It is most often a reaction or consequence of either trauma or mental illness. As a society we need to accept this and begin to help each other heal.

His last few pages brought tears to my eyes.

His stories of grief, trauma, loss and loneliness remind us how pain can be a great unifying force, or an efficiently isolating one. His revelations about that journey through the dark night of the soul, and what the power of love and family can provide on the other side, is a truly human tale so many of us can relate to, or be inspired by. Family (in whatever shape or form that takes for each one of us) can be the compass that guides us back to ourselves, and beyond, where we can see how full the really world is of beautiful things…

A real, honest, heart-wrenching human tale

Hopefully his story will continue to help those suffering with addictions. Shows how unfailing love can help to save and heal an addictive person when it seems all hope may be gone. God bless him and his family for never giving up.

Riveting and Painfully honest

It was a hard listen, it's a very sad story, but it fills in a lot of information on the Bidens
