Tears, joy and admiration!

Revisado: 12-11-22

As a fan of Viola Davis on the screen, this book was everything I imagined it would be. I cried, laughed, and admired the vulnerability it took to tell her story. Spoken in her own voice, this was a great listen and grabbed me from the beginning. I highly recommend it.

Kevin, Bruce and Wayne

Revisado: 08-03-12

What made the experience of listening to Tough Sh-t the most enjoyable?

I love Kevin Smith's sense of humor.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Tough Sh-t?

I loved all the behind the scenes stories.... especially the one about Bruce Willis. I too had always thought Bruce was great as David in Moonlighting and had somehow transposed his fun, witty and adorable persona onto Bruce Willis for some reason. Finding out that Bruce is squirrel turd really killed one of my self inflicted livable lies similar to that of the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy, that Bruce really was David Addison and not just some douche acting like a fun, witty adorable cool guy.

Any additional comments?

The hockey thing all makes sense now. I didn't know before. Also I like that of course Kevin Smith would work in quirky love story even here. Bravo

Learned a lot about Health Care

Revisado: 08-03-12

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

Learning more about the influence insurance companies and government have directly on your health, longevity and basic quality of life.

Any additional comments?

I found it to be informative about the basic state of health care and how we have gotten to where we are. I have to admit I know very little of health care and only recently at the age of 36 have health care for the first time in my life. I learned a lot of basics about the business, regulation and other key info if you want to understand the current state of health care in the US today.

Great Narration

Revisado: 08-03-12

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Definitely, I would recommend this particular reading of the story to a friend because I enjoyed the reader's style, he really made the characters come alive.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Godfather?

So many, re-watched the movie after listening and really brought a lot more out of the story for me.

Narration too fast

Revisado: 08-03-12

Would you try another book from Mario Puzo and/or Larry Brandenburg, Jane Brody, Walter Brody, Charl?

I am a Mario Puzo fan and have "read" most of his books, I did not especially like the main narrator. It felt like he drank a pot of coffee and just started reading really fast. The character narrators were great however. I even tried to slow down my ipod, but it got weird.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tore Guilliano of coarse.

What didn’t you like about Larry Brandenburg, Jane Brody, Walter Brody, Charl’s performance?

Main narrator reads too fast, too little inflection in his voice.

Was The Sicilian worth the listening time?

Yes

Any additional comments?

Good book overall and what I expected, other narrators have done a much better job at bringing the characters and story alive with Mario Puzo's stories, I would suggest sampling before purchasing.

I found this to be an enlightening book with very interesting case studies. Perfect length for the subject matter too.

Fun and Delightful

Revisado: 05-14-12

Where does Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

Well, as far as fun memoir types of books this ranks pretty high.

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed Mindy's story because she is fun to listen to. I have watched The Office for years and it was great to hear how she ended up there. I am also from the Boston area and it makes me feel more ambitious to hear successful stories about people close to me in age that grew up in this area of the country. I loved her honesty, wit and unapologetic sense of self.

Which scene was your favorite?

I would have to say there were many scenes i loved but especially found it funny when she ran out of work after taking a comment too personally and came back without letting anyone know she had left. I have definitely done this and could relate. I laughed out loud a lot.

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

Yes

Any additional comments?

On one point I was slightly disappointed and that would be that Mindy does not understand John Cougar Mellencamp. Mindy if you read this, Jack and Diane is not a high school fantasy of jocks and cheerleaders getting it on after school,it is a gritty story about a mixed race high school relationship. Actually most of JCM songs are about racial tensions. Not trying to be annoying, just thought you would want to know.

Good Book For Starting Over

Revisado: 05-14-12

Would you consider the audio edition of Reinvention to be better than the print version?

I am not sure, I drive a lot so prefer these types of books for driving and fiction for actual reads.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Not a character based book.

Which scene was your favorite?

Not a scene based book.

What???s an idea from the book that you will remember?

One of the key points I will remember is that opportunity that arrives from trying to be a yes person vs a no person.

Any additional comments?

I also read Brian Tracey's "Eat That Frog". I felt this book was slightly repetitive, if I had to choose one I would have chose the other. Overall, a good listen that I will probably come back to again.

What did you love best about A Million Little Pieces?

This was a great story. I thought the narrator did a great job and i still have certain words he spoke in my mind even after one year. I often found myself sitting in my car with the engine on just to hear the end of the chapter.

Very Enttertaining

Revisado: 09-06-09

I loved this audiobook. It was filled with all kinds of fun facts about Madonna and was an interesting perspective. The narration is a little boring and monotone, but the stories keep you going.
