It's a classic for a good reason.

Catch 22 is such a person story about war. The reader voiced the characters vividly.

A must-read for new performers

Revisado: 02-27-23

I started my acting career about the same time as Chip. Even though we never worked together, his story is so relatable. He tells his journey with a positive, upbeat heart, but doesn't sugarcoat the hard work and financial balancing act it takes to be a professional.

I'm glad he read his own story. It feels genuine.

I wish I had kept a journal like Chip.

Great Story

Revisado: 08-19-22

Wow, what a well told story. I've worked in the Hollywood show business for 30+ years but and thought I knew how the TV/movie industry works but this book made early Hollywood come alive for me. I loved the writing.
I wasn't sure about 3 narrators reading this story but it works seamlessly.

I couldn't stop listening

Revisado: 07-27-22

When I saw that the audiobook was 15+ hours, I thought I would have a hard time finishing it. I couldn't stop listening. I finished it in a couple days.

A big part of what I liked was Will Paton's performance. All of the characters were so distinct and 3 dimensional it was like watching a movie, although, I tried to watch the Mini series and the audio book is way better.

What an interesting life!

Revisado: 12-11-21

II didn't know anything about Charlie Band before I read the book. I was surprised to find out that I had seen some of his movies over the years. He has had a pretty amazing career. I have a feeling his life story would make a great movie also. Adam Felber did a good job piecing together a life that is all over the map.

I was a little confused when the narrator switched from Charlie to Sean Patrick Hopkins and then back to Charlie. Not a big issue but worth mentioning.

Another good book by Moore

Revisado: 11-10-21

I listened to Moore's book, "Second Hand Souls" first, not realizing that "A Dirty Job" sets it up. It still worked for me. Moore has a creative and slightly demented world view that is fascinating. Fisher Stevens' storytelling and character work is just great. I binge listened to it.

Hang in there

Revisado: 11-04-21

First, I need to say that I really enjoyed the world that Christopher Moore created. Having said that, I'll admit that I almost gave up after the 1st two chapters. It took me a bit to buy into this reality but by chapter 3, I was on board and the story took off. I was in hook, line, and sinker.
Moore's characters are well drawn and believable. Fisher Steven's did a great job telling the story and his character work is top notch.

Griping

Revisado: 10-12-21

Tigner's attention to the technical details of the story makes every crazy thing Achilles does seem possible. The love sub plot is not heavy handed and rings true.
Dick Hill is fine storyteller but his voice seems a bit too old for Achilles and his vocal placement and pitch often made the heroine seem weak, while the writing doesn't.
This book is well worth your time. I won't be surprised if it ends up a big budget movie.

Wow, what a story!

Revisado: 09-03-21

I was immediately immersed in the town and felt like I knew the folks that lived there. I "binge listened " to Hillary Huber telling the story. She really can make a character come off the page and live.

Well written and well performed.

What a wild ride

Revisado: 02-10-21

This is a complicated story but it unfolds so nicely that I never got lost. Much of that credit goes to Ron Butler's reading of it.
