Story4.5 out of 5 stars 94
Bonnie and Clyde were responsible for multiple murders and countless robberies. But they did not act alone. In 1933, during their infamous run from the law, Bonnie and Clyde were joined by Clyde's brother Buck Barrow and his wife Blanche. Of these four accomplices, only one, Blanche Caldwell Barrow, lived beyond early adulthood and only Blanche left behind a written account of their escapades. Edited by outlaw expert John Neal Phillips, Blanche's previously unknown memoir is here available for the first time.

A Few Stumbling Blocks, but a Worthwhile Listen

- My Life with Bonnie and Clyde
- By: Blanche Caldwell Barrow
- Narrated by: Valerie Gilbert
Great story, annoying narration
Reviewed: 08-06-19
It was great to hear the story from the perspective of Blanche. However, the narrator, Valerie Gilbert made parts of this story hard to listen to. She should've just stuck to telling the story straight up without trying to do different voices. Every time she tried to do Buck or Clyde's voices it made me want to cringe! Also, sometimes she made Blanche sound like an idiot when she did her voice sounding like little girl. Also, there were numerous mispronunciations that were very annoying.
I know it's not easy to read a whole book out loud, but she would have been better off just reading it, not trying to act. The parts where she did just read it were very good. Most of the time I had to just focus on the words and ignore the performance.
Other than that, the story is very interesting.

"Forty-four percent of the American population is convinced that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead sometime in the next 50 years," writes Sam Harris. "Imagine the consequences if any significant component of the U.S. government actually believed that the world was about to end and that its ending would be glorious. The fact that nearly half of the American population apparently believes this...should be considered a moral and intellectual emergency."

This is a very important book that everyone in the world should read for the sake of our world! I realize this will not happen but if I had one wish it would be to transmit the message of this book into every living person’s brain, with understanding,simultaneously! I believe that this could truly save our civilization. Without this common understanding, I have great fear for our future as a planetary society.
Thank you Sam Harris for being a voice of reason in the melee of humanity!
