Love his standup

Revisado: 12-20-17

But I only managed a few minutes, became aggravated & packed it in.

There is only just so much genuine nonsense I can take.
Nonsense & funny is one thing, nonsense that puts my teeth on edge is another.
Sorry Eddie. I know you can act & do standup & probably do great audiobooks, but it just wasn’t where my head was when this one did my head in.

Just don’t do it.
She sounds unhinged
I really tried, but it isn’t worth it to whiteknuckle through the spacey delivery

Weird delivery

Revisado: 12-16-17

These books were recommended by someone I respected
They featured a detached, weird delivery with disturbed giggling.
I tried, but it is creepy and hard to respect or listen someone who sounded off her rocker and purporting to know it all.
Had to reevaluate the person who recommended these audiobooks!

I was okay for the sample

Revisado: 07-02-15

...but about 15 minutes into the first story about Victoria's Book of Spells, I couldn't take the combination of smug, plummy-toned dramatization (combined with the author's patently obvious dislike & chip on her shoulder the first writer has for nonUSians, specifically British culture.) seemed okay for a few minutes. But it went on & on...! How someone with such US national exceptionalism writes a short story with Queen Victoria as a vehicle is bewildering. What was her motivation? ...to snark?

I just couldn't enjoy it. I was relaxing in the tub & it went from odd, to confusing to so aggravating that I had to get out, towel off, blow out the candles & do laundry.
Suffice to say, the self-satisfied notes in the performer's chosen style carried the same impression into the subsequent readings.
I'm sure it was just the combination of the first story with the first writing style. Maybe if they hadn't occurred together? Maybe they resonated off each other?
I tried to get into the other ones, but gave up, as it all blended together into one nails-on-a-chalkboard experience.
I really wanted to like this, but I'm not about to try as hard as I did for simple fantasy fiction.

Not for me. I wish I could return it, even for a partial credit.

I don't worry about the 'feelings' or 'emotions' of clothes... nor do I expect to

Revisado: 07-02-15

I've never 'gasped & been speechless' about socks

A good 1/4 of this book is about an anxious little girl who grew up obsessed with her possessions & her Family being messier than she could handle.

There are eye roll moments about the emotions of clothes that 'need to rest' & such

Then there is the occasional catty moments about presumed former lists & generalizations about their Lives & needs after they used her services.

There are a couple if good ideas, but it shouldn't have taken 4 hours.

Seriously? This was a bulletpoint blog post that was padded with things that just made me irritated.
I ended up putting it on a faster squirrel pace just to get to the point

I'm mystified about why this is getting cult-y followings by people

I don't think it is the best choice for pragmatic people who might prefer an abridged version.
