When her brother dies from cancer, and then her mother just four months later, Teresa Strasser has no one to mourn with but her irresponsible, cantankerous, trailerpark-dwelling father. He claims not to remember her chaotic childhood, but he’s a devoted grandpa, so as her son embarks on his first season pitching in Little League, Teresa and Nelson form a grief group of two in beach chairs lined up behind the first base line.

THIS is how you narrate a damn audiobook!!

Let’s put aside for a second that this book is a laugh-out-loud AND cry-your-makeup off masterpiece, and just focus on the narrator’s performance. The author has EXCEPTIONAL comedic timing, which you don’t expect in a memoir about death and grieving. And she delivers the heavier material in a way that’s never maudlin or manipulative. Every tear is earned, and there’s not a false note in the whole thing. Most remarkable is the way she slips into and out of the different characters in the story, and right back to her pleasant narrator voice in perfect stride. It’s like you’re watching a great one-woman off-Broadway show AND being read a bedtime story at the same time. Getting to listen to this beautiful work of art for only 1 credit feels like stealing.

Think twice! (Like a freak)! Totally not worth it!

Would you try another book from Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner and/or Stephen J. Dubner?
Probably, in a moment of weakness.
What could Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Oh I don't know...maybe WRITTEN THE SECOND HALF OF IT! There should be a disclaimer in big letters that they pad this "audiobook" out with a bunch of podcast episodes! That you can download for free elsewhere. And the new content that is there feels like tired retreads of stuff you've read elsewhere. Dissappointing.
What about Stephen J. Dubner’s performance did you like?
Mercifully short, I guess?
Do you think Think Like a Freak needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
What I think matters little...there will be endless follow-ups
Any additional comments?
Feels like a rip-off. Buyer beware.
