Too Much Porn

Revisado: 04-30-25

I wanted a story about Hollywood not a book of porn with a show business backdrop. No, I’m not a prude (that’s what prudes say!) but the repeated and very descriptive sex scenes between the two main characters got to be too much. I just lost interest in the characters and the story.

Great start.

Revisado: 04-07-25

Unfortunately all the humor I enjoyed at the beginning of the book was soon gone. The meandering story, such as it is, lost me. Overall a strong start then a big fizzle.

Where was the editor?

Revisado: 08-17-23

This cinder block of a book is a real challenge to get through. The long first two chapters spew an endless account of Johnson minutia. It’s mind numbing to get through and made more difficult by the lifeless narrator who often sounds like an AI robot. The narrator also mispronounces an astonishing number of words and names.
An editor should have hacked away at the mountain of unneeded bulk in chapters one, two, and even three. There’s just no forward thrust in the writing. An editor or producer could have corrected the narrator’s many goofs.
Sadly, this book could be an essential part of the work that exposes the lone gunman theory as the pure bunk that it is, offering a clear and well researched alternative theory as to who organized and carried out the horrific crime of the century. Instead, LBJ: The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination is a massive mess of a book in desperate need of the discipline and skill needed to tell a complex story in a compelling, clear and informative way.
A big, and I do mean BIG, disappointment.

Mediocre At Best

Revisado: 10-20-22

The author's gee-whiz attitude toward all things Hollywood wears very thin in this disappointing book. If Chuck McKibben had attempted just one more impression of Mel Blanc, Noel Blanc or anyone else, I would have driven off the road just to make it stop. There are points in the book that sound more like a desperate demo reel than any kind of recounting of what it was like to work for the great Mel Blanc. Also maddening is how little the author, who describes himself as a radio broadcaster, voice over talent and long-time New York Producer, actually knows about any of these areas of expertise. Pass on this and try Mel Blanc's Autobiography.

Not very informative and terrible audio quality!

Revisado: 03-19-12

Would you try another book from Ed Percival and/or the narrator?

Done with the distorted, headache-inducing audio that you sell. Simply dreadful.

Any additional comments?

Why don't you improve the audio??? It just makes no sense to run a company THAT IS AUDIO, with dreadful audio!

Awful Audio Quality Ruins Another Title

Revisado: 03-19-12

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I wouldn't recommend anything from Audible. If you can't deliver acceptable (even by the lowest possible standards) audio then why even be in the business of selling audio?
