ACT Like You Got Some Sense by Jamie Foxx

Do you need a good laugh?  Do you need to know all families are crazy?  If the answer to either is yes, then read ACT Like You Got Some Sense by Jamie Foxx.  I’m so thankful Grand Central sent me this one and at the perfect time.  Jamie’s life story is crazy.  What I loved was his ability to forego anger and resentment and seize every opportunity he has to make his life better.  The odes to his Granny, Estelle Marie Talley is heartwarming if you can get past all the bad language.  Although I don’t like a lot of cursing, Jamie tells it like it was and his.  His upbringing in small-town Terrell, Texas lends to a lot of jokes.  The best parts for me were his honesty about his shortcomings as a father. Raising his two daughters to be humble and hardworking while he was in Hollywood was hard.  You can tell he truly loves his daughters Corinne, 27, and Anelise, 13.   Anelise's antics remind me of my opinionated and daughter. ...
