When Norm Macdonald, one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time, was approached to write a celebrity memoir, he flatly refused, calling the genre “one step below instruction manuals.” Norm then promptly took a two-year hiatus from stand-up comedy to live on a farm in northern Canada. When he emerged he had under his arm a manuscript, a genre-smashing book about comedy, tragedy, love, loss, war, and redemption. When asked if this was the celebrity memoir, Norm replied, “Call it anything you damn like.”

Good ole Norm was born for this format. While there is some truth it this story is mostly a work of comedic genius. Look past the jokes for their true meaning: social commentary. This book made me think and examine his jokes and statements for what his true meaning was. Brilliant!

In The End Is Always Near, Dan Carlin looks at questions and historical events that force us to consider what sounds like fantasy; that we might suffer the same fate that all previous eras did. Will our world ever become a ruin for future archaeologists to dig up and explore? The questions themselves are both philosophical and like something out of The Twilight Zone.

I figured it would be similar to his podcast and to a degree it was. In a good way. High quality typical of Mr Carlin. I hope he does many more of these.

Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye: The Barbara Payton Story is the only family-authorized biography of the late Hollywood actress whose promising film career in the 1950s was quickly overtaken by a disastrous and scandal-ridden personal life that left her career in ashes. Barbara Payton’s story has long been considered one of the saddest and most potent cautionary tales the town has ever known.

Well worth your Audible credit!

I’ve never reviewed an audiobook despite listening to over 200 of them, but I felt compelled to review this one. The author really seemed like he had a connection with Barbara Payton and understood her. The book was approved by her family which matters to me. Her son wrote a very nice forward. I can’t believe her story isn’t more widely known. Tragedy and Hollywood seem to go hand in hand, but Barbara Payton’s story is as tragic as it gets. Her fall is epic and you just keep hoping someone will step in and save her from herself. I found myself getting to know her and becoming a fan of her talent, good heart and stunning beauty. I don’t want to spoil anything so I’ll just say that the amount of detail in this book will satisfy even the most curious.
The narrator reading this book to us is absolutely excellent! You forget you’re listening to a book at times and it’s almost like a play. He is able to change his voice for each person he is depicting which really helps bring the story to life.
I also purchased (on Amazon) Barbara Payton A Life in Pictures (also by John O’Dowd). I recommend picking it up and reading it after you listen to this as you’ll recognize many of the people and places from the pictures in the book.
