Deteriorates into a Transformer Cartoon

Revisado: 10-14-24

The initial dilemma of the warp gun failure has some promise but it is quickly abandoned. If you're a 6th grader, the stereotypical, shallow, characters and totally predictable action lines will be able to hold your interest. More and more, the author seems to be coasting downhill.

Great Fun!

Revisado: 10-02-24

It took me a little while to adjust to the character voices, and then had a ball. For me, the performance was what made the whole thing work. There is absurd silliness and some sounds and character interactions that can be a little grating, but, about when I'm feeling maxed out that, the narrator changes tone and some wonderful descriptions or development in character take place. Fun and satisfying.

Beware - Annoying Sound Effects

Revisado: 05-05-24

Fry is a superb performer. The sound effects are not needed. They add a sense of tackiness and distract from a good performance.

Who Cares

Revisado: 11-11-22

Never gives us a reason to care. Endless hours of wide ranging speculation ping-ponging all directions around the murder of an irresponsibly self-serving and abusive eccentric. She finally gets bumped off and everyone . . . EVERYONE and everything attached to her is the better for it. Forget about her and let the world move on to other business. In the end, there seems to be no reason to have bothered writing this book.

You NEED This Book

Revisado: 04-26-19

If you ever address any kind of group of people, you need this book. If you ever write anything, humorous or serious, that will be read by someone else (including emails), you need this book. If you ever try to tell a joke to ANYONE, oh God, you REALLY need this book!

Whether the information is humorous or serious, the info on the Rule of Three and the discussion of tightening and editing would be helpful to anyone who is wanting to communicate more effectively. In high school and college, I competed in speech events. I was a college speech teacher and competitive speech coach for almost 20 years. Don't let all the talk of standup comedy distract you from the actual practical takeaways in each chapter. The concepts and basic tactics in this book are useful to almost any kind of communication setting.

Mr. Nihill, thank you for helping me clearly understand how I was able to take one of the best situationally and audience focused visual punchlines I have ever had and tank it at last year's annual work party. in your book, I picked up 4 specific ways I could have made that thing work better. I will be buying several paper copies of this book to give to people I know who are serious about what they do.

Painfully Senseless

Revisado: 04-08-19

Very very rarely can I not finish a book. But, this babble is just pointless.

An Incredible Disappointment

Revisado: 11-26-16

The description and cover art give the impression that you are buying an adventure/horror story. What you actually get is a shallow relentless political sermon that is bluntly written and artlessly presented.

The First Audible Book I Just Couldn't Finish

Revisado: 07-05-16

Painfully flat and slow in both the plot and narration. I just couldn't do it.
