Newtown Tragedy Recounted

Revisado: 01-24-14

Any additional comments?

Both emotionally and intellectually satisfying - it's the ultimate cautionary tale. Read it and weep literally.

Beyond Brilliant

Revisado: 01-24-13

Any additional comments?

Perhaps the best work of fiction I've "read" in years. Totally mindblowing. An artistic triumph. It satisfies the psyche.

Not Augusten's Best

Revisado: 01-01-13

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Sort of ... I guess ...

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would have presented my observations as my opinions and not dismiss another's opinions so nonchalantly.

Was This Is How worth the listening time?

Yes, with reservations ...

Any additional comments?

Augusten Burroughs is an important observer of humanity. However, he does himself no justice with his autocratic presentations. He needs to get back to fiction wherein he excels.

Would you try another book from Arnold Schwarzenegger and/or Stephen Lang and Arnold Schwarzenegger ?

WhateverNo thanks!

What was most disappointing about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s story?

He never took responsibility for his womanizing. Whatever good he accomplished, in my opinion, was obliterated by his oversized ego.

Disappointed

Revisado: 08-13-12

What disappointed you about To Heaven and Back?

I want to believe this doctor's story is true, but this pious pap only turns me off. There is nothing real about this doctor, her family and her faith.

What do you think your next listen will be?

I'm listening to Defending Jacob

Double Dexter Does Death Delightfully

Revisado: 11-07-11

Some complain that Dexter has lost his edge, is more sympathetic. I agree, and that is why I love him even more. It's the struggle with his burgeoning humanity that makes Dexter so much more a fully-developed character. Keep 'em coming, Jeff Lindsay.

Becoming BaBaBooey

Revisado: 11-05-10

Gary Dell'Abate is a nice guy and that comes across in this well-produced audiobook. Regrettably, nice guys don't often make for interesting books. Fans of Gary will be all too familiar with the on-air shenanigans he writes of. What we haven't heard before are the insightful paragraphs about his mother's illness, his brother's death from AIDS and, most of all, his undeniable love for his father. He writes with passion and one cannot help but to be moved by this everyman who's staked a claim in our hearts and minds. Congratulations, Gary.

I'm So Embarrassed!

Revisado: 10-05-10

Ok, I give in. I admit it. I'm a Shopaholic Junkie. I know ... it's chick lit, but I can't help it. I'm in love with Becky. She makes me laugh out loud. Her convoluted sense of reality and her warped values are winning character flaws that make her my guilty pleasure. Obviously, in my more sane moments, I realize that no one could be as stupid as Becky's husband, Luke. He falls for her twisted logic every time. In reality, at best he would never have married her and at worst he'd be out the door at the first sign of her outrageous justifications. But I hope he never figures her out.. I say Long live Becky and Sophie Kinsella!

Running Waters

Revisado: 09-06-10

It's rare that I laugh out loud when reading a book. During John Water's superb reading of his own book, this happened over and over and over again. Great literature? Probably not, but lots of tongue-in-cheek fun for listeners like me, who have a warped sense of humor. Don't miss this one.

Don't bother writing a review, they'll lose it.

Revisado: 08-03-10

I wrote a review when this book was first made available ... and waited ... and waited ... and waiated for it to be posted. It never happened. It shows up for me when I call up all my reviews, but has never been posted for others to consider. This is not the first time this happened - jut the last - since I no longer waste my time writing reviews ....
