Insightful and hilarious
Revisado: 03-12-21
I was continuously entertained throughout this book and the account of Prioleau’s adventures were so well written and laugh out loud funny that I could not wait to get in the car to hear more.
The authors sense of humor is so clever and biting that I will listen again before the summer —bravo and I will check out his other book with high expectations —
Read it —you will be glad you did —Bravo!

Historia
Bill Bryson once again proves himself to be an incomparable companion as he guides us through the human body - how it functions, its remarkable ability to heal itself, and (unfortunately) the ways it can fail. Full of extraordinary facts (your body made a million red blood cells since you started reading this) and irresistible Bryson-esque anecdotes, The Body will lead you to a deeper understanding of the miracle that is life in general and you in particular. As Bill Bryson writes, "We pass our existence within this wobble of flesh and yet take it almost entirely for granted."

Fascinating
Revisado: 12-02-20
An in depth description of how everything in your body works —and how many functions and parts we really do not understand —I could not stop listening to the book until I finished —highly recommend for interesting and helpful facts about your body —and how many senses do you think you have? Don’t say 5

Historia
Amos Decker's life changed forever - twice. The first time was on the gridiron. A big, towering athlete, he was the only person from his hometown of Burlington ever to go pro. But his career ended before it had a chance to begin. On his very first play, a violent helmet-to-helmet collision knocked him off the field for good and left him with an improbable side effect - he can never forget anything.

Well done--

I almost did not get the audio book due to all the bad reviews on the reading/presentation of the story--news flash--don't listen to the haters--it was hardly the train wreck posters make it out to be--
Likable characters--interesting twists and turns--I want to read more from Baldacci!!

Brilliant--
Revisado: 06-20-15
Chuck's insights and observations are genius (probably an overused descriptor of Chuck's questions and stories) and I found myself LOL without just texting the letters and pondering my own self -actualization -
I have never read another author quite like him and this having been the 4th of Chuck's books I have read I need to read the rest of his collection--adding to my bucket list is meeting Chuck for beers and various libations in Brooklyn to discuss contemporary issues that may or may not be important to people born after 1967-- and his description of Van Halen was spot-on having grown up through their tenure as Rock royalty I will now forever measure future songs against the the mediocre and middle-of-the-road "And the cradle will Rock" yet I consider Fair Warning their Opus (although Little Guitars is my favorite song) in the same vein as Outlandos d'Amour by The Police and Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin--bands measured by their best album create those bar arguments that have not been eliminated by Smartphones and Google--I can't choose a Beatles album that is the best so don't fucking comment on this post with that arguement--yes the Beatles are the best of all time--However-- I am not in the position now to choose from Sergeant Pepper or Abby Road--
This may be the worst paragraph ever written--but I stand behind it

Historia
Why we think it’s a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand’s done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared....

Best book I have ever read

Amazing story - why was this no written before? Louie is a true American hero and his story should be a part of history--
