Only Living Boy In

Never connected more with my inner nerd

Revisado: 01-21-25

This was such a good time. The nostalgia was so genuine that I couldn’t help but drink the Kool-Aid too. Percival (sp?) is such a fun and earnest character. It was easy to root for him and his friends. Can’t wait to watch the movie now.

Quirky, hugely influential, and wonderful

Revisado: 09-04-18

I’ve just listened to it for the second—wait, now third—time, and it was like visiting good friends who you haven’t talked to in a while. All those wonderful characters waiting there for me. But this time, I got more out of their stories, and more of an understanding of how influential this book is. If you follow LGBTQ culture, you spot the reverberations this book has made all over queer culture. Fun, funny, and beautifully read by Frances McDormand.

My first Gaiman, and I’ll be back for more

Revisado: 04-14-18

Such a curious, wonderful, simple and yet deep and beautiful story. Gaiman reading his own work is a dream. I will probably listen to this recording again. I hope I will anyway. Highly recommend to lovers of a good yarn.

What the rich know about money.

Revisado: 07-22-17

Yes, I wish I'd read and BELIEVED this book when I was younger. (I picked it up once and put it down after about 5 pages. I thought this guy was trying to sell me a phony bail of goods. Little did I know at the time.) Yes, this book is worth it because it will help you make more money if you take just one piece of advice: get clear on what takes away your money and what brings it in, and focus on what brings it in.

Detailed modern thriller, good but not great

Revisado: 11-29-16

A sprawling thriller impressively detailed but an otherwise good but not great story. The thrill comes mostly from a world of fantastically high stakes that is both unbelievable and yet plausible.

Hollywood dishing at its best

Revisado: 09-17-16

it's almost hard to believe that a guy like Robert Evans wrote a book like this. if he's telling the truth, or anything close to it, you get a blatant inside look at some of Hollywood's most incredible stories in the 50s 60s 70s and 80s. Evans' narration is a little difficult to understand at times, but hearing it all from the horse's mouth is well worth it

Thorough and informative

Revisado: 09-17-16

I doubt that in one place you will be able to find as much information about DreamWorks and the people involved there as in this book. The research seems copious, and though one suspects whether all of it is true, the overall impression is you've learned a great deal about one of the most interesting companies in recent Hollywood history.

Not hilarious, but funny and worthwhile

Revisado: 01-28-16

I think the best thing about Tina Fey is that she knows how to describe anything with such comic acuity that even the mundane is funny. I guess I was expecting a bunch of great stories, but the sort of quaint stories she does tell are informative and entertaining.

The play as it's meant to be heard.

Revisado: 04-08-15

If you could sum up The Importance of Being Earnest in three words, what would they be?

Witty, quick, and pure Wilde

Any additional comments?

The wit of Wilde comes across brilliantly in this recording, where you can hear the live audience laughing along with you. Abridged, unfortunately, but don't let that deter you!

Gripping and relevant

Revisado: 04-08-15

I'd call this a political thriller. Was amazed at how relevant it still is. Steinbeck's command of story and character is excellent, as is the narrator's performance. Highly recommended, even for a first timer to Steinbeck.
