For Erik Reece, life, at last, was good: He was newly married, gainfully employed, living in a creekside cabin in his beloved Kentucky woods. It sounded, as he describes it, "like a country song with a happy ending". And yet he was still haunted by a sense that the world - or, more specifically, his country - could be better. He couldn't ignore his conviction that in fact the good ol' USA was in the midst of great social, environmental, and political crises.

Audiobook misses a lot
Revisado: 12-19-19
I was confused b¥ the audiobook. A friend read the book and there's special layout and formatting that guides the reader. Unfortunately those "guides" don't exist with the narration...which was dry and boring. I had difficulty discerning his actual trip experiences and all of the history he piles on.

I am not a sports fan...
Revisado: 11-13-17
I am not a sports fan! I'm reading books that will hopefully give me an idea of what makes someone such an avid sports fan. This book is written by a sports fan who doesn't realize his audience may consist of non-sports fans. I listened to the audiobook and there must be a total of 30-minutes of recited stats for various pro athletes. I can't even remember the context but it's like listening to adults talk in a Peanuts television special. “AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY”

"In the summer of 1991 I was a normal kid. I did normal things. I had friends and a mother who loved me. I was just like you. Until the day my life was stolen. For eighteen years I was a prisoner. I was an object for someone to use and abuse. For eighteen years I was not allowed to speak my own name. I became a mother and was forced to be a sister. For eighteen years I survived an impossible situation. On August 26, 2009, I took my name back. My name is Jaycee Lee Dugard. I dont think of myself as a victim. I survived...."

If you could sum up A Stolen Life in three words, what would they be?
Sad, Angry & Uplifting!
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Stolen Life?
Jaycee describing some of her memories but also the sense that she doesn't remember a lot which is perhaps best.
What does Jaycee Dugard bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her tone really changes when she talks about her daughters.

Before Liz Lemon, before Weekend Update, before Sarah Palin, Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: A recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true. At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've always suspected: You're no one until someone calls you bossy.

What made the experience of listening to Bossypants the most enjoyable?
I don't know if I would have enjoyed the book as much if I'd read it. Listening to Tina read her own words...it's just so real and honest...and very, very funny. I'm anxious to recommend the book to friends who are
