In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store.

Moving story and great narrator
Revisado: 08-19-23
The author James McBride has given us a gift with The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store and the narrator Dominic Hoffman is an excellent match.
McBride succeeded in making me laugh, cry, cringe, connect deeper with my living and deceased relatives and wider community, cry some more, and then think and feel deeply about this book well after I had finished it.
Hoffman narrated this so well that I often lost all perception that there was a narrator; it felt more like the characters themselves were telling their own story, which made it all the more emotionally moving.

You don't have to be funny to be funny. It's true! While the general idea is that humor is inherent, Jean-Marc Toledano would beg to differ. Explore the science of laughter and the reason behind it with Half Serious Half Not, in which Jean-Marc discusses the topic in great detail and brings you the secret to being funny. The theme of the book is humor: what it is, the techniques, and how you too can be funny!

Excellent content, great narrator, perfect length
Revisado: 08-17-23
Jean-Marc Toledano the author succeeds in walking-the-walk by delivering a book that is funny, engaging, and thought provoking.
Complete this book and you'll come away with a deep appreciation for why we all need and crave humor, what the building blocks of humor are and how we can each use them like Legos to build something of self-expression that is valued and welcomed by others, and finally how and when to use humor to help elevate the feelings for ourselves and for others that our experiences are positive and meaningful.
