Tedious and Boring

Revisado: 04-01-25

I kept waiting for it to get interesting. It never happened. The ending just made it worse.

Usually I Love Willie's Books...

Revisado: 02-07-25

This one is terrible. it seems disjointed and not being read by Willie makes it lose some of the normal charm of Willie's books. The stories are good but most have been told in all previous books so not much novelty in it. Very disappointing and not up to his usual quality.

The Story is Okay; The Narration is Tough....

Revisado: 11-05-24

One narrator is in a huge hurry to get to the end. She rushes through every line like she's in a race. The other reads as if reading at story hour for young children. If you can get past that, the story is okay but the author clearly pulled her inspiration from Making a Murderer. The baseline story is ripped right from the documentary; documentary included! The turns it takes are different, of course, but the original thought is not there. I'm about 3 hours in to this 8 hour listen and so far, I wouldn't put it on my "must recommend to a friend" list.

Who Knew!?

Revisado: 08-08-24

We all know and love Duckie and spent hours watching Alan... but there's a lot before and in between all of that that I bet a lot of us, including me, didn't know about or pay attention to. It's a good story and his telling of it in his own voice makes it that much better.

Great Format!

Revisado: 08-08-24

It was cool to hear the stories actually told by Emilio and Martin. I wouldn't call the book riveting, but it was a good listen.

More Than a TV Personality!

Revisado: 08-08-24

It was good to hear more of Captain Phil's story beyond what they showed on TV.

Everything but the Ending...

Revisado: 08-08-24

It was a good story but the ending was so bland and anti-climactic. The author could have done better.

Audio is Annoying

Revisado: 05-14-24

I don't know why audio book producers think the tinny overdubbing of phone calls is necessary to a recording. Whenever a character is supposed to be on a call, the person at the other end is garbled and robotic and it's completely unnecessary and very off-putting. This seems to be an Australian thing 🤔 I'm not finished the book yet. The story seems good so far, but I had to get that off my chest.

She's So Hard to Listen To!

Revisado: 04-28-24

The subject of this episode is great and I'd love to hear more but this woman isn't so much answering Natalie's questions as what sounds like reading, very rapidly, from pre-written essays. I'm told I talk fast and if I sound like this woman, I want to apologize to everyone I know. Had to stop it 5 minutes in because she's going to make my head explode.

You'll Love Johnny Cash Even More!!

Revisado: 09-23-22

So well written! And perfect narration! The fact that the narrator had a deep voice like Johnny's was a perfect touch! I cried at the end like his death was my own personal loss because this book makes you feel like you were there, you were family, and you love him despite all of his imperfections. You'll want to read this because you're a fan; and you'll be a bigger fan when you're done. 10 Stars! Exceptional!
