Elaine Sciolino, the former Paris bureau chief of The New York Times, invites us on a tour of her favorite Parisian street, offering an homage to street life and the pleasures of Parisian living. While many cities suffer from the leveling effects of globalization, the rue des Martyrs maintains its distinct allure. On this street, the patron saint of France was beheaded and the Jesuits took their first vows.

Not what I was expecting, tedious descriptions about churches
Revisado: 11-19-20
The first 10 minutes were okay but then about 75% was really terribly dull. I had hoped to enjoy this but really. could not get through it.!

Before "Fred and Ginger" there was "Fred and Adele", a show-business partnership and cultural sensation like no other. In our celebrity-saturated era, it's hard to comprehend what a genuine phenomenon these two siblings from Omaha were. At the height of their success in the mid-1920s, the Astaires seemed to define the Jazz Age. They were Gershwin's music in motion, a fascinating pair who wove spellbinding rhythms in song and dance. In this book, the first comprehensive study of their theatrical career together, Kathleen Riley traces the Astaires' rise to fame from humble midwestern origins.

Dull Story
Revisado: 10-18-20
Not at all what you would expect about the life of one of America's greatest dancers. Far too much focus on the childhood years of brother and sister (30 minutes would have been adequate). It's a long book and the first 7 hours are tedious with the rare morsel of interesting detail. Finally after hours of this there is what I consider a very inadequate section that focuses on Fred Astaire's gifts as a dancer and how he became who he became. I would have also been interested in the years when his career was slowing down. There are so many ways a great book could have been written about this brilliant yet difficult man. It would have been interesting to learn more about his personal life- and not about the vaudeville scene when he and his sister were kids. I can't believe that there hasn't been a great book written about him (or at least it's not available in audio format). Very disappointed in this. Thought I would love it! Instead it was so dreary I could hardly listen. I am hoping that Audible will be looking for more books on Fred Astaire that would tell his story as it deserves to be told- I would snatch that up in a second!

Goldie Hawn's life is an ongoing tableau of stories, and she has a born knack for telling them. In this candid and insightful book, Goldie invites us to join her in a look back at the people, places, and events that have touched her. It is the spiritual journey of a heart in search of enlightenment.

She has a nice voice but she has nothing to say
Revisado: 08-18-20
Utterly Vapid and syrupy. I wasn't expecting anything deep, just a pleasant experience. I was a big fan of her as a comedian on "Laugh In" and I also thought she was an appealing actress in the movies I saw so I like her. But the content was so disappointing! I felt like I wasn't hearing the story of a real life. There was a strange mix of her life in childhood and when she
was trying to break in to movies. But it jumped from past to present and all over the place with no logic to doing this. Her experiences were really pretty trite and I was disappointed. I have to wonder if she had very little to do with writing her story. Rather it seemed that she gave a pre-typed chronology of certain experiences and handed it off to a ghost writer. That could explain the emptiness of her stories. Mind numbing in a really annoying way.

For over half a century, millions have appreciated Carl Reiner's work as comedian, actor, director, TV writer and author. Winner of numerous accolades, including 12 Emmy wins and one Grammy award, Carl Reiner once again brandishes his literary talents to tell the story of his life in I Remember Me. Reiner reminisces on 90 years of love and laughter, highs and lows, mistakes and triumphs. Told with a warm heart and an occasional touch of nostalgia, Reiner draws from decades of family, friends and fun to illuminate his life and career as one of America's most loved and memorable figures.
