a pleasant listen

The actors bring their reading to life, you don't feel that they're doing a screen reading.

It's Elvis, as you know and love them

Revisado: 10-17-19

It's pretty predictable, but entertaining all the same. If you love Elvis' voice and humor, you'll enjoy it.

Easy to follow and just enough substance

Revisado: 08-18-19

Having listened, I feel like I've gained enough insight into the book to determine if I actually want to read it.

Sincere and easy to listen to

It filled in some of the gaps in knowledge about her life and provided her thoughtful perspective on life before, during, and after the White House.

Some interesting theories, but a bit too long

Revisado: 01-13-19

I found the first few chapters (optimal stopping, the Secretary Problem) to be the most fascinating. A lot of the second half of the book got into the math and detail of the idea to too great of an extent for me. The author's voice is very monotonous, which was good for me because I was listening to relax and sleep...I would not listen to it while working out!

very obvious and not effective

I didn't find much in the way of insights here. The comment on mirroring men was about the most novel.

I can't say that any particular bit was hilarious, but it's an ok way to pass 25 minutes

Kevin Hart at his best

Revisado: 06-30-17

I thoroughly enjoyed all 13 hours. If you have a long commute or upcoming vacation, it's a great listen.

A few interesting stories, but a bit flat overall

Revisado: 02-04-16

What did you like best about Why Not Me?? What did you like least?

Mindy is the right mix of self-deprecating and confident and seems to show a very honest version of herself.

What I liked least was that many of her stories were predictable and did not lead to me feeling like I knew the author that much more than what her professional persona already dictates.

Would you recommend Why Not Me? to your friends? Why or why not?

I would probably say pass on it, there are lots of other comedians who have written autobiographical musings that are more insightful.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

The email exchanges between her, "SC" and her friend Lindsey are pretty amusing!

Was Why Not Me? worth the listening time?

I listened on a long drive, so it was worth it under that circumstance.

If you like Jim Gaffigan, you'll like this book

Revisado: 02-04-16

If you could sum up Dad Is Fat in three words, what would they be?

Heartfelt. Funny. Family

What about Jim Gaffigan’s performance did you like?

He stays true to his standup style (including using jokes I've heard him do on tour) while bringing you into his family life in an intimate way. There's an unabashed honesty to the book (although excessively placating to his wife...who helped him write it!)

What did you learn from Dad Is Fat that you would use in your daily life?

Don't judge or assume that you know other people's lives or can make their best choices for them. Children are true gifts that bring complication and headaches, but also a unique love.

Any additional comments?

If you listen to it at 1.25 speed, you'll get through it that much faster while not taking anything away from the tone of the story.
