Historia
You may "know" Jenny Slate from her Netflix special, Stage Fright, as the creator of Marcel the Shell, or as the star of Obvious Child. But you don't really know Jenny Slate until you get bonked on the head by her absolutely singular writing style. To see the world through Jenny's eyes is to see it as though for the first time, shimmering with strangeness and possibility.

Too Weird for Me

My book club selected this, but I could only get through the first hour before I decided it was a waste of my time.

Historia
Imagine a perfect society. A world with no racism, sexism, or ageism. A utopia. In Utopia 58, everyone is equal. Everyone must be equal. Too beautiful? A mask will hide that pretty face. Too tall? We'll saw your legs down to size. Too male or female? The surgeon's knife will fix that. Too smart? A buzzer in your skull will drown out all that pesky thinking. You will be equal. Like it or not. Utopia 58, built atop the ruins of North America, created perfect harmony. A society with no race, gender, or age. Pure equality. KB209 was born into this utopia.

A Disappointment
Revisado: 02-16-20
This book had a great premise but was sort of dull in the end. I didn't really care that much about any of the characters or what happened to them. I stuck wiith it to the bitter end because of Scott Brick's performance, which was excellent as usual.

Maybe this is for young adults
Revisado: 04-11-19
but as an old adult who sometimes finds science fiction awfully dry, this is delightful. It has magic, but modern day useful magic in a world we recognize . . .no elves, dwarves, fairies, or gnomes . . .skyscrapers versus castles . and an amusing yet complicated heroine who fits the type of early twenties throughout history in every culture, ,back when we thought we knew everything.

Revisado: 01-22-19
World War II espionage is one of my favorite fiction genres and this sounded like it would be a good one. However, it was slow, drawn out, and even boring at times. I think the author might do better sticking to romance fiction.

Historia
If you're an Indo-Muslim-British-American actor who has spent more time in bars than mosques over the past few decades, turns out it's a little tough to explain who you are or where you are from. In No Land's Man Aasif Mandvi explores this and other conundrums through stories about his family, ambition, desire, and culture that range from dealing with his brunch-obsessed father, to being a high-school-age Michael Jackson impersonator, to joining a Bible study group in order to seduce a nice Christian girl, to improbably becoming America's favorite Muslim/Indian/Arab/Brown/Doctor correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

This book was a little boring. I enjoy some of Trevor's work on The Daily Show, but this is not up to par with that show.

Historia
Taking place during the most critical period of our nation’s birth, The First Conspiracy tells a remarkable and previously untold piece of American history that not only reveals George Washington’s character, but also illuminates the origins of America’s counterintelligence movement that led to the modern day CIA. In 1776, an elite group of soldiers were handpicked to serve as George Washington’s bodyguards. Washington trusted them; relied on them. But unbeknownst to Washington, some of them were part of a treasonous plan.

Sounded much better than it really was.
Revisado: 01-22-19
If you have listened to Brad Meltzer's fiction, and highly enjoyed it as I have, then you will find this work a great disappointment. Characters, even George Washington himself, don't seem fleshed out and real. You don't care about what happens to them that much.
This sounds like it will be a great counter-espionage thriller, but the pace is too stulifying to even approach anuthing related to suspense. This is supposed to describe the birth of counter-espionage in this country, which ought to be fascinating. It wasn't. And then it just ended.
Scott Brick's narration is the only thing that made this book palatable. He really has the best voice in the audiobook world. I wonder if he can sing 🤔

In the autumn of 1938, Germany's reichsführer, Heinrich Himmler, is growing frustrated at the British using their regional power in India to block the passage of an SS expedition to Tibet.

Very unsatisfying. In the end, did not care about any of the characters, so if any had trouble in the mountains, it didn't matter. So the book didn't matter.

Would have been more interesting if Clinton had narrated or done a forward or something.

Revisado: 03-12-17
The detective story itself, while being pretty decent, is almost secondary to the background and the times. You feel like you too are living through the "the troubles" at the same time that you see how hopeless and bleak it is in Northern Island.

The story itself and the narrator's excellent rendition combined to create a compelling story. The historical notes at the end also give rise to some more worrisome thoughts about our current world and national state of affairs.
