Description
Narrated by Jennifer Jason Leigh
Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited first work of fiction - at once hilarious, delicious, and brutal - is the always surprising, sometimes shocking new novel based on his Academy Award-winning film.
Rick Dalton: Once he had his own TV series, but now Rick’s a washed-up villain-of-the week drowning his sorrows in whiskey sours. Will a phone call from Rome save his fate or seal it?
Cliff Booth: Rick’s stunt double, and the most infamous man on any movie set because he’s the only one there who might have gotten away with murder....
Sharon Tate: She left Texas to chase a movie-star dream and found it. Sharon’s salad days are now spent on Cielo Drive, high in the Hollywood Hills.
Charles Manson: The ex-con’s got a bunch of zonked-out hippies thinking he’s their spiritual leader, but he’d trade it all to be a rock ‘n’ roll star.
Hollywood 1969: You shoulda been there

Great story, not so great narration.
The story is very interesting and gives a lot of details that aren’t in the film. My only criticism is the choice of Jennifer Jason Lee as the narrator. She’s so monotone and uninteresting to listen to. Tarantino should have had someone like Samuel L. Jackson or Kurt Russel narrate.

JJL was the wrong choice for narrator
This a man’s story, and should have been narrated by a man. Her voice in this audio book is dry, monotone, no inflection, and just grates on my nerves. This is a wonderful story and it’s unfortunate they didn’t do it justice by choosing a better narrator.

Can't understand a word
I gave up less than 5 minutes in. Couldn't understand a word of it. JJL was a terrible choice for a narrator. She's a talented actress, shouldn't be here at all. Feel like asking for a refund. I love audiobooks but I'll need a paperback version of this.

Vocal Fry
You know the story is good. But the vocal fry is brutal and makes it impossible to get through. It’s a real shame- please recut this with someone else.

Unbelievably Bad Narration
Jennifer Jason Leigh is far and away the worst narrator I've ever heard. I get they might have wanted a Tarantino alumni, but this is unbearable to listen too. I celebrate this man's entire filmography but I'll return this and just buy the hardcopy.

Defending JJL
Performance is great. Don't know what people are complaining about. Love all the different voices she's able to do.
Also... to appreciate this book, you gotta understand what QT is referencing here, the popular movie novelizations of the 1970's. QT is such an incredible historian in his own way -- and not just about film. The amount of research that goes into his work is seriously impressive.
I know taste is an individual thing, but...
JJL rocked it.
And this book does exactly what it set out to do.

Performed Masterly.
The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood novelization is masterly. It allows Tarantino to amass this wealth of context like an avalanche building towards every scene. I highly recommend the audiobook. Listening to Jennifer Jason Leigh recite Quentin's writing is an experience unto itself.

12 hours of vocal fry
Love the movie and maybe the book will be OK. But the narration here is incredibly annoying. shut it off after 20 minutes. Can’t listen to 12 hours of vocal fry.

Great book
It is a great read and expands on the movie, makes me want to write my own novel.

It's Tarantino; pretty awesome.
Plusses: adds way more context to the characters and gives insights on Hollywood history through their eyes. I want to watch the movie again with this new information.
Negative: I wish Kurt Russell would have narrated. Jennifer Jason Leigh's voice grates on you after a while.

You expect very much - and get even more!!
Not many words need to be spoken About Tarantino and his writing talent. It’s brilliant and to see his transition to books makes his stories even more fascinating (characters and their backstories, flashbacks etc)
But the star of this audiobook is without a doubt Jennifer Jason Leigh! By far, really by far, the greatest audiobook performance ever. It elevates the story and it’s protagonists so much you don’t want to stop listening to them spoken by her 👍👍

This ain't Pulp Ficition!
I didn't know what to expect from the first QT-novel in regards to writing style because although dialog and story are the most important part of his movies, they wouldn't be what they are if they weren't set in an extraordinary visual frame. So much of the OuaTiH-movie was the perfection in recreating this time and setting visually but instead of describing everything you see, he achives the same perfection in setting by letting the story float on a river of his historic knowledge of that time. That book is definatly the other part of the complete expierience of that story - not that you can't enjoy the novel without having seen the movie or the movie without the novel but together it's more than the sum of it's parts.
It's entertaining, it's immersive - it's just how a QT-novel should be, without having any idea how a QT-novel should be when you are going in.
