It’s 1985 in Providence, Rhode Island, and the four partners of a prominent, mafia-affiliated law firm have been killed in a private jet that went down outside New York City. Four very different women have just lost the loves of their lives: Justine, a former fashion model adjusting to suburban life; Camille, a beautiful, young second wife some suspect is a gold digger; Krystle, committed to leaving the firm to her sons after her husband worked his whole life to support them all; and Meredith, a stripper at the local club who was in a secret relationship.

I don’t remember how this ended up in my library. Its not my usual genre and it’s been sitting there for a few months and I finally gave it a listen. It was an interesting, engaging story, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

In 2014, after a brief orientation course and a few fingerprinting sessions, Nicholson Baker became an on-call substitute teacher in a Maine public school district. He awoke to the dispatcher's five-forty a.m. phone call and headed to one of several nearby schools; when he got there, he did his best to follow lesson plans and help his students get something done. What emerges from Baker's experience is a complex, often touching deconstruction of public schooling in America.

Terrible
Revisado: 12-28-21
I rarely leave reviews when I don’t enjoy a book, but this one was so truly awful that I can’t put it behind me.
The premise behind this book had me so interested. The author spent 28 days as a public school substitute teacher, and documented his experience. As both a former teacher and current substitute, I was excited to hear about his experience and have an “outsider” view of what teaching was like to someone who had never really experienced it.
Instead, we followed along as Mr. Baker was merely a warm body adult in a classroom. No real attempt at teaching was made. He disregarded teachers lesson plans and seasoned teachers advice. He documented his inability to even show up on time for assignments, because he was “tired”. And probably the worse part was how he stereotyped and described students, more often using negative attributes.
This book is nothing more than him being a fly on the wall and regurgitating a months worth of boring, overheard conversations from students. He never even made an attempt to teach.
A complete waste of time and money.
