Filled with wonderfully candid conversations with some of comedy’s greatest artists. I really enjoyed my time listening in on this. Highly recommended.

Might be a good story but not through audio

Revisado: 01-23-19

They tried, they really tried. Adding a cast of voice actors to bring the characters to life was a great idea, and their performances were good. I wish the audio versions of the Game of Thrones books did this. But, the constant date stamps and, name, stamps? Was constantly distracting.

I stopped listening to this book three times because of the interruptions then returning to try an fish it. I couldn’t do it, I gave up on chapter 44 (out of 100+ chapters). Maybe I’ll pick up a print copy.

Must read for all bar & restaurant owners

Revisado: 08-19-15

Excellent detailed instructions on how to improve your establishment. The only thing I was disappointed with was that Jon Taffer didn't narrate the audio book.

Fans of 80's pop culture will love this book!

I have listened to this audio book several times now and expect that I'll listen again sometime in the future. Great narration by Wil Wheaton as well.

Textbook version of Ghost In The Wires

Revisado: 08-13-12

Is there anything you would change about this book?

No, it's more text book than a story and I was hoping for a bit more charm. I had previously listened to 'Ghost In The Wires' by Kevin Mitnick and enjoyed it quite a bit. I had hoped that this book would be just as enjoyable but that wasn't the case. It's not without its merits thought and some people may find the straightforward nature more helpful.

If you???ve listened to books by Kevin Mitnick before, how does this one compare?

Fine, more straightforward, if you're in security it's definitely worth reading otherwise I'd read Ghost In The Wires since they're basically the same book.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I found the narrator a bit condescending.

History You Can Connect With

Revisado: 08-13-12

What did you love best about A History of the World in 6 Glasses?

Fun and informative, such an interesting way to view history. I felt so much more connected to our history since I've experienced the main drinks discussed. I listened to the book over a few days and each time I was enjoying one of the drinks discussed I kept thinking about how much has happened with this drink in hand.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A History of the World in 6 Glasses?

I think the overall arc of the story is what is most memorable more so than a specific element. The organic and connected nature of each of these drinks and how each one aided the human spirit and how they impacted history.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I wasn't a fan of the narrator, there's nothing in particular I could pinpoint as to what I disliked. I just kept thinking that this wasn't the right person to read this book. Maybe he sounded to young... I think I would have preferred hearing someone older read 'A History of the World in 6 Glasses'.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, but I rarely listen to a book in one sitting.

The History of Search: The Early Days - 2006

Revisado: 03-14-12

What did you love best about The Search?

Excellent telling of the history of search engines and the business they have become.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend listening to 'The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You' by Eli Pariser after this book to bring the listener up to date on where Search is currently at and where it is headed.

Interesting Case Studies on the Power of Thought

Revisado: 03-14-12

Would you listen to The Power of Habit again? Why?

Yes, 'The Power of Habit' is worth another listen as it's dense enough with information I'm sure I missed something.

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

The narrator, Mike Chamberlain, has a very authentic delivery and one would believe that he has faith in the material.

Have you listened to any of Mike Chamberlain???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

What insight do you think you???ll apply from The Power of Habit?

It's fairly straightforward, pay attention to your habits and modify them to serve you better. Piggybacking on to an existing habit is your surest way of succeeding in the altered behaviour.

Any additional comments?

'The Power of Habit' is similar to 'Think & Grow Rich' and 'The Secret' but gives case studies from the business world, sports, medicine and other reliable sources.

Dramatisation = Distracting

Revisado: 01-31-12

Was Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Dramatised) worth the listening time?

No, I would have preferred a single narrator to a cast, especially for a story like Tinker Tailor that has so much going on. I had a hard time figuring out who was talking and it really took away from the overall story.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend skipping this audio book version until their is a single narrator, unabridged version available.
