An unbeatable team
Revisado: 02-27-25
Jodi Taylor, as always, writes a fantastic story. Zara Ramm narrates it professionally and entertainingly.
A fantastically long story that has so many side stories built in it could be broken down into four books.

Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

This story was very tongue in cheek and enjoyable. It had a tone that was designed for Wil Wheaton to read. I look forward to reading others by Mr. Scalzi.

Historia
Join Clara Parkes on a cross-country adventure and meet a cast of characters that includes the shepherds, dyers, and countless workers without whom our knitting needles would be empty, our mills idle, and our feet woefully cold. Travel the country with her as she meets a flock of Saxon Merino sheep in upstate New York, tours a scouring plant in Texas, visits a steamy Maine dyehouse, helps sort freshly shorn wool on a working farm, and learns how wool fleece is measured, baled, shipped, and turned into skeins.

not a knitter, but I loved this book
Revisado: 10-20-21
First, I am NOT a knitter or a crochet person nor am I particularly crafty. I have a drop spindle and have made exactly 10 feet of very bumpy yarn before putting the spindle away for the past 20 years. I have no intention of picking it up again. I did knit one scarf because my best friend convinced me to take a class with her.
Despite not really caring about yarn, I loved this book. The writing is fabulous. The story is interesting. It has a plot line. It has a reason for being. It is a work of art.
I laughed, I cried and did it again. (no spoilers.) I was so glad that she updated the status and stories of those featured.
I could fully see myself doing just this. Buying a bale. With no idea of what I would do with it. I was envious of her bale of wool and was excited to see where the journey took her so I did not purchase my own bale.

Historia
In the tradition of Phil Knight's Shoe Dog comes the incredible untold story of how Netflix went from concept to company—all revealed by cofounder and first CEO Marc Randolph. From idea generation to team building to knowing when it's time to let go, That Will Never Work is not only the ultimate follow-your-dreams parable, but also one of the most dramatic and insightful entrepreneurial stories of our time.

This book is fantastic
Revisado: 09-27-21
It was a binge worthy book. I was eagerly waiting to hear what came next.
Normally books read by the author are horrific and not properly narrated, that is not the case here.
I started with Netflix when it was just the red envelopes sent with discs. I upgraded to the discs and online shows. I was hooked on Netflix and I loved it. Great inside story of the rise of Netflix.

entertaining way to spend a few hours
Revisado: 05-31-21
it is a good book, the performance is spot on. The topic is enough to keep me listening. Parts such as the family's disdain of her and the sex bits were all at once too much and mildly annoying. For what ever reason, both were eye rolling cliché.

predictable and dragged on
Revisado: 03-27-21
I finished the book but it was painful. It was at least two hours too long. It is a sad story that has lots of hatred in it.
She dislikes her parents. She doesn't forgive easily. She is self centered and everyone around her is also. She has strife with everyone.
It has too much detail about things that don't matter and not enough of what does.

Historia
When Star Wars burst on to the big screen in 1977, an unfailingly polite golden droid called C-3PO captured imaginations around the globe. But C-3PO wasn’t an amazing display of animatronics with a unique and unforgettable voice-over. Inside the metal costume was an actor named Anthony Daniels. In this deeply personal memoir, Anthony Daniels recounts his experiences of the epic cinematic adventure that has influenced pop culture for more than 40 years. For the very first time, he candidly describes his most intimate memories as the only actor to appear in every Star Wars film.

Literally the BEST book
Revisado: 09-27-20
Let me start by saying that I am not a hard core Star Wars fan. I enjoy watching them but they aren't my favorite movies. When my husband tries to explain one of them, I zone out.
This book, from the first few minutes, grabbed ahold of my soul and hung on. I couldn't stop listening. The performance is fantastic, the writing is from the heart but is not long winded, or self-aggrandizing. The story is written humbly.
He took C3po and brought him to life. I don't believe another actor could have accomplished as much.
Warning, there are movie magic spoilers in this book. There is discussion of how certain things were done. (how things were made to look real)

Historia
Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine, and Mary-Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. What they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888. The person responsible was never identified, but the character created by the press to fill that gap has become far more famous than any of these five women. For more than a century, newspapers have been keen to tell us that "the Ripper" preyed on prostitutes. Not only is this untrue, as historian Hallie Rubenhold has discovered, but it has prevented the real stories of these fascinating women from being told.

This is a book that emphasizes who these women were. it discusses their daily lives, often their childhoods. This book is not gory, it is tastefully written.

fantastic, hard to stop listening
Revisado: 04-19-18
This was one of those binge listens. The narrator reads in a nice even tone that is lulling and dramatic in the right spots.
The twists are tricky but not hard to follow if you pay attention. The story ended to my satisfaction, and I took my earphones off wirh a sigh of contentment.
The Quiet Game goes down in my top twenty listens.
