Summary
“I come from a family forged by tragedies and bound by a remarkable， unbreakable love，” Hunter Biden writes in this deeply moving memoir of addiction， loss， and survival。
When he was two-years-old， Hunter Biden was badly injured in a car accident that killed his mother and baby sister。 In 2015， he suffered the devastating loss of his beloved big brother， Beau， who died of brain cancer at the age of forty-six。 These hardships were compounded by the collapse of his marriage and a years-long battle with drug and alcohol addiction。
In Beautiful Things， Hunter recounts his descent into substance abuse and his tortuous path to sobriety。 The story ends with where Hunter is today—a sober married man with a new baby， finally able to appreciate the beautiful things in life。

Great bookWow。 I just read the last page and the only word in my mind is "wow"。 What a crazy life Hunter lived， and his description of it felt very raw。 How easily one can slip through the rabbit hole of despair， over and over again。 Read this book！ You will not regret it。 Great bookWow。 I just read the last page and the only word in my mind is "wow"。 What a crazy life Hunter lived， and his description of it felt very raw。 How easily one can slip through the rabbit hole of despair， over and over again。 Read this book！ You will not regret it。 。。。more

Unbearably sad and incredibly raw。 The lengthy sections dealing with Hunter Biden's crack addiction were very difficult to listen to。 Ultimately， though， Biden's downward trajectory reversed through a chance meeting that changed his life in a transformative way， and turned despair into hope。Hunter Biden was an excellent narrator of his own story。 Unbearably sad and incredibly raw。 The lengthy sections dealing with Hunter Biden's crack addiction were very difficult to listen to。 Ultimately， though， Biden's downward trajectory reversed through a chance meeting that changed his life in a transformative way， and turned despair into hope。Hunter Biden was an excellent narrator of his own story。 。。。more

I typically don't like to "rate" memoirs because it feels very judgy - I mean， really， who am I to rate someone's account of their life put into their own words？ That being said， I feel anyone pulling themselves up from the grasps of hell should be celebrated， no matter how long it takes or how many slips they have。 This is a great memoir of tragedy， loss， love， and survival。 Hunter’s addiction isn’t new and is something that can happen to any one of us， our children， family， or friends。 Sometim I typically don't like to "rate" memoirs because it feels very judgy - I mean， really， who am I to rate someone's account of their life put into their own words？ That being said， I feel anyone pulling themselves up from the grasps of hell should be celebrated， no matter how long it takes or how many slips they have。 This is a great memoir of tragedy， loss， love， and survival。 Hunter’s addiction isn’t new and is something that can happen to any one of us， our children， family， or friends。 Sometimes people are fighting to survive an addiction or a relationship with an addict and no one ever knows。 It is hushed or uncomfortable to talk about。 This book is very upfront and details what is like for all involved。 This book is raw and emotional at times and can be very triggering - both to an addict as well as those who love them。 There were some political mentions but they weren’t overbearing。 And let’s face it， you can’t have been affected by the Trump years and not have something to say about it。 Hunter was specifically targeted for his addiction and his absence。 And in true Biden style， the response to those bullying remarks was done tastefully and head on。 。。。more

Not sure if it was the writing or the content that wasn’t appealing， but I stopped reading it when he began talking about his descent。

If you’ve read about Hunter’s story online- this book might be repetitive。 But， it is still a great book about his journey through addition and dealing with grief after the death of this brother。

Incredible memoir。 It is raw， poignant， and so revealing。 I've not read many firsthand accounts of a drug addict but this one stands out。 Hunter Biden seemingly does not hold back on details of what a complete track wreck was his life。 Improbable that he's turned himself around now -- but I take him at his word that he has done so。 I wish him nothing but the best going forward in his continued journey to stay off drugs and stop drinking alcohol。 It was so compelling that I read it within 24 hour Incredible memoir。 It is raw， poignant， and so revealing。 I've not read many firsthand accounts of a drug addict but this one stands out。 Hunter Biden seemingly does not hold back on details of what a complete track wreck was his life。 Improbable that he's turned himself around now -- but I take him at his word that he has done so。 I wish him nothing but the best going forward in his continued journey to stay off drugs and stop drinking alcohol。 It was so compelling that I read it within 24 hours。 。。。more

The book description here on the site calls this memoir “deeply moving”。 I would second that。 Near the beginning Hunter Biden details the last days with his brother Beau and caused copious and heartfelt tears to flow。 The courage of this man， the courage of the whole family， makes an awesome foray into respect， admiration and empathy。

When I got this book I thought it might be fun in a sordid， tawdry sort of way。 I have to admit that I do have some affection for Hunter Biden because unlike his father and brother， he comes across as a somewhat relatable figure。 He’s a moron， but clearly fancies himself an intellectual。 There’s something about people like Hunter that I find both charming and amusing。 As I’m in the middle of rewatching ‘The Sopranos’， I came to the conclusion that Hunter’s a combination of Christopher Moltisanti When I got this book I thought it might be fun in a sordid， tawdry sort of way。 I have to admit that I do have some affection for Hunter Biden because unlike his father and brother， he comes across as a somewhat relatable figure。 He’s a moron， but clearly fancies himself an intellectual。 There’s something about people like Hunter that I find both charming and amusing。 As I’m in the middle of rewatching ‘The Sopranos’， I came to the conclusion that Hunter’s a combination of Christopher Moltisanti and “Little” Carmine Lupertazzi， both of whom are among my favorite characters on the show。 Unfortunately， ‘Beautiful Things’ reads like something concocted by a PR consultant to rehabilitate Hunter’s image—he’s not just another political fail son—and make the Biden family as a whole seem normal and loving。 The Bidens are just like your family except that Hunter’s father was one of the most powerful men in the government before he was 30 and they lived in a house once owned by the DuPont family。 What a normal family。 The first portion of the book consists of maudlin stories about his upbringing in Delaware—the Cayman Islands of America—and his family， particularly his Christlike older brother Beau。 To be frank， their relationship is a bit odd。 Hunter speaks to and of Beau like a widower。 The Bidens sure are a bunch of weepy Micks。 Too much of the rest of the book is him defending his father’s record and his own professional and public life。 He spends a great deal of time trying to have you believe that he didn’t trade on his family’s name and he earned his position in life。 One of the more amusing anecdotes he sincerely tells is about how he got into Yale Law school， not because his last name is Biden， but because he had great grades and wrote an amazing poem。 He got his jobs working for corporate law firms and Ukrainian energy companies—where he earned $50k/month—because he worked hard and was qualified。 Only a real Democratic Party hack could truly believe any of this （If you do I have an amazing bridge spanning the East River to sell you）。 It’s only interesting when he talks about his drug addictions and his latent wish to be a writer/artist in the vein of Bukowski， but the former gets repetitive after awhile and he doesn’t dwell on the latter。 I’m glad I didn’t have to pay to read this。 。。。more

He has a very privileged life， which is obvious in all aspects of his life。 The parts of this book I loved though， were when he talked about his family。 The love and support they all have for each other is so heartwarming ❤️

The first chapter made me ugly cry。 The rest made me wonder how honest Hunter Biden was really being - not about the addiction and the using， but about his sobriety and the relationships with his family members。 He was married to his first wife for twenty-four years and destroyed their marriage with his addiction and other behaviors。 Yet， he can't seem to find any empathy for her pain （he abandoned them， refused to get clean， and left her to raise their three children）。 He also seemingly has no The first chapter made me ugly cry。 The rest made me wonder how honest Hunter Biden was really being - not about the addiction and the using， but about his sobriety and the relationships with his family members。 He was married to his first wife for twenty-four years and destroyed their marriage with his addiction and other behaviors。 Yet， he can't seem to find any empathy for her pain （he abandoned them， refused to get clean， and left her to raise their three children）。 He also seemingly has no empathy for or connection with the child he has with a woman in Arkansas。 If you didn't already know about this situation， his casual mention of it in the book may lead you to believe paternity was not confirmed。 The clear wealth and race privilege in his avoiding law enforcement in precarious illegal situations also is not dealt with which makes me uncomfortable。My review is not politically biased - I'm very left on the political spectrum - but as much as the beginning touched me， the last half left me wondering how much of the real Hunter Biden anyone ever sees。 。。。more

Heartbreaking， scary， life-affirming， and beautifully written。 I pray that Hunter Biden is able to continue to deal successfully with his addictions。 This was a difficult story to read because Biden was unflinchingly honest about his choices and mistakes。 Most importantly， he takes full responsibility for his decisions， never blaming anyone or anything for how his life has evolved。 The love that flows through this memoir is an inspiration。
