The Cook Up: A Crack Rock Memoir by D. Watkins

5.0

I listened to the author reading this memoir as an audiobook.

I highly recommend this memoir to anyone who has an interest in authentic, honest, and cultural storytelling. The story flows so well form short chapter to short chapter. The reader has a front row in every page. And it has a great ending.
I appreciated the view into a culture I’m not familiar with, personally. It took 2 days with the audiobook (and interruptions) but I’m sure it’s a 1-day read in print or ebook.

Also, if you liked the memoir “Heavy”by Kiese Laymon you will love this.
