Very thought-provoking.

A good primer on the topic. Informative, insightful, and timely, especially given global warming and climate change’s impact on the world’s glaciers and ice sheets.

Re: Heartfelt and authentic. Terrific.

Revisado: 10-21-21

I listen to a lot of audiobooks. I mean, a lot. And while I have never been a KISS fan (because my tastes lean more toward 90’s grunge like Soundgarden, STP, and Alice In Chains) this is one of *the* best audiobooks, I have listened to. The cadences of the reader are well-delivered, relatable, and well-performed. And the story itself is rousing, heroic, emotional, often heartbreaking, tragic, inspired, funny, and always inspirational.

Personally, I only like one or two of the band’s songs, once again, only because I am stuck in the minor key tunings and vivid memories of the early ‘90’s (my personal heyday.) But I am not embarrassed to say that this is one of the best autobiographies you will ever read (or listen to) and I want to give it my highest recommendation to Audible subscribers. It is an incredible story, captured in vivid detail, as well as a journey of self-discovery that you get to experience almost in real-time, with the author. You should take this voyage as well, if you can spare an Audible credit for a very affecting personal narrative that will definitely inspire and move you, as well. Reed Martin — Austin, TX

Good, but not always gospel.

A good counterweight might be the BBC's "Kurt Cobain: The Last 48 Hours" which is streamable on YouTube.

Re: Culshaw is terrific with amazing voice acting.

If you could sum up Doctor Who and the Ark in Space in three words, what would they be?

If you are a fan of Tom Baker-era Dr. Who and the many classic stories of that era, then you will love the two audiobooks narrated and voice-acted by Jon Culshaw.

He does a spot-on, warmhearted, and accurate impression that often makes me laugh out loud in its exacting precision and care. All the nuances in the line readings are there and they are just wonderful.

Not to go on and on but it's almost like stumbling into a local bar and discovering the most incredible cover band ever with members who clearly have a love for the material and who are clearly fans themselves.

Listening to this audiobook brought back memories of my latch-key youth when the local PBS station would run two episodes back to back and I could imagine being whisked off into time and space with my first crush Elizabeth Sladen.

I would pay 2x as much for this wonderfully-realized nostalgic audio presentations. They are even surprisingly superior than the Dr. Who audio adaptations where cast members read a somewhat flat narration from the original episode's stage direction that is tarted up with a few sounds effects from that actual episode.

In summary, these two Baker-era Culshaw books are far, far superior to those and in my opinion just terrific.

Have you listened to any of Jon Culshaw’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

First-rate.

Any additional comments?

Please commission more of these Tom Baker-era classic episodes with full sound effects to be read by Jon Culshaw. In addition to spending millions of dollars on new, original Amazon Video productions, I would respectfully argue that these far less-expensive Jon Culshaw Dr. Who adaptations would bring Audible members of a certain age, far more appreciation and enjoyment.
