Make sure the kids aren’t around! Just because you’re a grown-up doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the art of the children’s bedtime story. Nick Offerman presents this collection of 12 short stories written in the style of a classic kids' tale, but with a decidedly dark and adult approach. What really happened after Snow White died, from the perspective of the one medically trained dwarf? A naive wizard professor reports back from the trenches of an underprivileged school of magic. And much more!

What a strange group of stories
Revisado: 08-09-19
I didn't listen to these stories during bedtime. Instead I was riding my bike on the Little Miami Bike Trail in SW Ohio while listening. Some stories were very good. Some not so good. But all kept me engaged enough that my ride was over before I realized it.
Biking and Audio Books go together like chocolate chip cookies and milk. Delish....

Pete Banning was Clanton's favorite son, a returning war hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, a father, a neighbor, and a faithful member of the Methodist church. Then one cool October morning in 1946, he rose early, drove into town, walked into the church, and calmly shot and killed the Reverend Dexter Bell.

Soldier's View of the Bataan Death March
Revisado: 08-09-19
The plot line wasn't all that interesting but the story about death marches, torture and camps was gripping. Grisham is a great story teller and this was no exception. The view from inside a death march was so real, educational, so horrendous, so spellbinding you feel as you were there.
The overall story was very sad and just good, but not great.
Oh, and there was a surprise ending. So you need to read to the end. When you think you have it all figured out you realize you were wrong.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 512
Herman Melville’s tale of corporate discontent, Bartleby, the Scrivener, tells the story of a quiet, hardworking legal copyist who works in an office in the Wall Street area of New York City. The business where he works handles the official financial paperwork of wealthy men. One day, Bartleby’s employer requests he proofread one of the documents he has copied. Bartleby declines the assignment with the inscrutable “I would prefer not,” the first of what will become many refusals.

What a strange man
Revisado: 12-05-12
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I wish there was more background on Bartleby. Perhaps a followup that would include how he became such a strange person.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Sad, sorry, sorrowful, reflective on my own life's experiences.
What does Stefan Rudnicki bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Stefan was an excellent choice of reader, he provided voice characterizations that were of period and were interesting.
Could you see Bartleby, the Scrivener being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No, too much would be lost in the story. It would not be nearly as intellectual and entertaining.
