Written in a down-to-earth, earnest, and playful voice, A Rogue's Tale is the legitimately enthralling story of the life of a woman who refuses to be just one thing. Whether readers are most familiar with Lenore Zann as an actress on the stage, big screen, or small screen (or in the case of this reviewer, as the voice of the X-Men's Rogue) or as a successful and passionate politician, they'll learn how her life took her - or perhaps more accurately, how she took her life - from each of those stages to the next. Far from being just a chronology of Zann's life, though, the book gives us a disarmingly candid look into the heart and mind of the fascinating person who's lived it and her journeys of family, romance, travel, trauma, and recovery. Her vulnerability and strength each make the other more impressive.

It's surprising that A Rogue's Tale is Lenore Zann's first book: she's as natural a writer as she is so many other things. I'm looking forward to her next.

I'm a huge X-men and X-men 97 fan and Rogue is my favourite character. It was great to find out more about the voice behind her. Lenore Zann has led an eventful, wonderful, sometimes traumatic, influential, life. I quick, yet emotional read.

Thank you, Nimbus Publishing, for this ARC.

Lenore Zann is known for her voice role as Rogue in the X-Men animated series. In her book, A Rogue's Tale, she documents her life from her upbringing as an Aussie child to getting the acting bug and getting to play Marilyn Monroe in a rock opera. Her life is intriguing as she discusses her passion for fighting for the underdogs and becoming a politician. Her young adult life is filled with ups and downs including having romantic relationships with celebrities, getting to meet Steven Spielberg, dealing with the bad side of Hollywood, and more. There is so much that has surprised me when reading the book, including having a romantic encounter with Keanu Reeves.

There are a lot of discoveries about Zann's life as a fan, and if you want to know more about who she is and her earlier adventures, definitely check this out. From the screen to real life, Zann embodies Rogue in terms of wanting to make the world a better place for the underdogs.

A fascinating story that has you yearning for more from an author who generously lays her life out before us. A Rogue's Tale invites us into the life of Lenore Zann in a way that feels incredibly authentic to the her. Lenore tears open the curtains, takes us by the hand and leads us through her story full of adventure, tragedy, triumph and hope. I found myself astonished by the all we learn and each chapter is filled with incredible tales that you simply have to read for yourself.

If you are a fan of Lenore, If you are a fan of her work as Rogue in X-men then this book shows you new sides to a woman who is every bit as strong as the character she so famously portrays. However, if you are a young actor, or just someone looking for direction this book is filled with a wealth of knowledge from someone who has seen it all.

We got the pleasure of reading A Rogue's Tale by Lenore Zann early and I cannot recommend this book enough! Reading the book, you really do think Lenore has written her entire career so I was shocked to find out this was her first book! A Rogue's Tale is raw and courageous and gives you a real look at Lenore's incredible life. Honestly, it's as if it was ten different lives into one. The book had so many amazing life lessons throughout the book, it definitely felt like a self help book at some points. For those X-Men fans like myself, this book makes you realize that she truly is the embodiment of Rogue herself. Lenore's fights for social justice is something I've always admired about her and seeing what she's truly gone through makes me admire her even more. She put all of the raw details out for everyone to see, and I applaud her for that. Extraordinarily well written to the point that you find yourself sobbing at some points. I really hope Lenore Zann writes another book because I'll be the first in line to read it.
