Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.

Wished I Had Read It
Revisado: 12-09-22
An interesting story was the only thing that kept me going with this book. While the reader's voice wasn't annoying, the reading itself was nowhere near the caliber that I would expect from Audible. There was also just a bizarre transition between chapters that was annoying. I was constantly thinking my audio player stopped. Not sure if that was because of the reader, or the producer.
Overall I would strongly encourage Audible not seek/acquire author read content, unless the author is an accomplished performer. I will definitely be comparing the author and reader on future books, and likely avoiding purchasing another author read book.

The Nowhere Man is a figure shrouded in secrecy - a near legendary figure who helps those lucky few who are given the means to reach out to him. Before he was the Nowhere Man, Evan Smoak was a highly trained government operative known to a few as Orphan X. This is the story of Smoak's first outing as the Nowhere Man, where after completing a mission in Northern California, he happens to spot a young woman at a coffee shop....

Caution - Novella Prequel
Revisado: 01-28-17
What did you like best about Buy a Bullet? What did you like least?
Just finished the original book (Orphan X) in the series, and was looking for the next book in the series. Purchased the book the audible app on my phone, so I wasn't aware it was a novella until after partway into the book.
Story was just ok, it provided some limited, additional background to the original. Not anywhere close in quality to the original book though, and in hindsight (having heard the story and knowing it was a novella), I would not have purchased this. Overall felt like the author was running a bit low on funds, and decided to write a quick novella for a bit of extra cash.
Would you be willing to try another book from Gregg Hurwitz? Why or why not?
I enjoyed the original book in the series, and so am going to buy the second full length sequel. Will not purchase any future novellas though.
Would you be willing to try another one of Scott Brick’s performances?
Definitely. Scott Brick did a great job of bringing the character to life.
Could you see Buy a Bullet being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Potentially yes. In many ways this book reminded me of Robert Ludlum's original Bourne books.

Storyline Weak and Rambling
Revisado: 05-12-16
One of the daily audible deals, and the story sounded potentially intriguing. About half way through the story became fairly disjointed, and it was a struggle to finish.

When a Druid lives as long as Atticus does, he’s bound to run afoul of a few vampires—make that legions of them. Even his former friend and legal counsel turned out to be a bloodsucking backstabber. Now the toothy troublemakers—led by power-mad pain-in-the-neck Theophilus—are no longer content to live undead and let live. Atticus needs to make a point—and drive it into a vampire’s heart.

Amazing Narration

Luke Daniels does an amazing job bringing the characters to life.
The Iron Druid series continues to be entertaining.

Freedom. In 1776 New England, that word is on everyone's lips. But for 13-year-old Isabel the word holds a different meaning, especially after the only mistress she has ever known dies, and instead of receiving the freedom promised, she and her sister are sold to the Locktons, a wealthy New York family. In a matter of hours Isabel has to leave Rhode Island for the hustle and bustle of colonial New York City - a community divided and caught up in the American colonies struggle for independence.

Worth a listen
Revisado: 01-18-14
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Narration was good as was storyline.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Book ended before I wanted it to. Leaves you hanging a little.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Narration was fine. White slave owners accents were a bit off.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
I don't think so
Any additional comments?
No
