ICE A Memoir of Gangster Life and Redemption—from South Central to Hollywood

Narrating a memoir of someone whose voice is famous is not an easy feat, but Mirron Willis does an admirable job of capturing former rapper, now actor Ice-T’s edgy tone and attitude. Willis’s skill proves key to the listening experience as it keeps one engaged even during the less interesting portions of the audiobook. The author covers the highlights of his life—from his days on the streets to his lovers, family, and ultimately his success in music, film, and television (“Law & Order”). Overall, he provides an entertaining look at himself and his past. However, the occasional misogynistic comments are offensive. L.E. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2011]
