outstanding narration. Informative without being preachy . Well backed with scientific and anecdotal evidence. a hard to stomach "Call to Action". A+

Great story telling and full of emotion & insight

Revisado: 04-16-24

very informative, and humorous while tackling difficult topics. Some parts were sad but in a good way, and it changed my view of sex work to include exotic dancers. There's one story about a kidnapping by a Canadian Mayor i wasn't sure was true but otherwise 100%.

Significantly better than what I expected.

Revisado: 05-21-22

I'm not sure what I was expecting but this exceeded said expectations. The guitar performances were pretty cool and it was nice that they were brief. Tom Morello has excellent storytelling capabilities. Enjoyable even if you're not a raging against the machine or audioslave fan.

A fun premise and engaging story

Revisado: 01-12-22

Not a bad book, coming from someone who is into scam and chicanery literature. Everything was plausible while not being overly vague. Narration was okay in my opinion.

A surprisingly fun read for a once mundane topic

Revisado: 12-19-21

The narration is excellent. The pace is good. if you are already familiar with mushroom stuff and the fungal systems, you will still learn a lot from this book. The author has simile devoted his life to this topic. covers both the psychological pharmacological and ancestral tie-ins with humanity.

Only 4 'Stories' in, already one of my favorites

Revisado: 11-16-20

YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT YOUR DESTINATION is one of my faves, and really cool take on CRISPR. Fun if you're a Psyche major or a new parent.
The 'Skin' story was excellent, unique storyline and fantastic narration.
Winter was a classic Blake Crouch style Sci Fi, with a believable premise and read with great affect. Highly recommend this book on those alone.

Quintessential Haruku Murakami Great Entry Book

Revisado: 10-10-19

For those who are ne wto the works of Mr Murakami; this is a great starting point. It envelopes his surreal, multi-faceted and deeply layered writing styles. It has a fun whimsical way of bending reality but still making you feel like you're grounded in the real world, despite things like a 'two-foot-high physical manifestation of an Idea.' He keeps the reader engrossed throughout, and its one of the few books I could see myself reading again and enjoying, as there are so many metaphors and lots of overt symbolism that I might have missed the 1st time.

For those who are debating on adding this to their Haruku collection, my favorites in order were 1Q84, this book, and Wind Up Bird Chronicle, and After Dark. I wasn't fond of Hard Boiled Wonderland and didn't like the movie version of Norwegian Wood (not yet read).

5 Stars or 4 depending on how much you love Tony

Revisado: 01-31-19

Simply put, its a great auto-biography and then some about one of the most fascinating food connoisseurs of our time. Really cool anecdotes and 1st hand accounts of the food industry, and that's from a viewpoint of someone who has read non of his other books. This was cool, but not an 'incredible' read. Anthony narrates the same way he does on the show, but with more liberal swearing and drug use which I enjoyed. It fits his personality well, so if you like Anthony already and want to support his estate, get this book.

Excellent narration, felt like I was right in CLE

Revisado: 12-14-18

very descriptive of the neighborhoods, made me feel like it was in Cleveland Heights, or Iraq. overall story was pretty good but not amazing... didn't like the ending, kind of lackluster finish.

5 Star for Nick Offerman or Twainiacs.

Revisado: 11-23-18

A great listen, very well narrated by Nick Offerman of course. cool anecdotes throughout, plus some fun history. Had no idea about the native animals people ate back in the 1800s being so different from today.
