A masterful tale read by the man himself
Revisado: 06-27-23
Truly one of the best rock biographies I have ever read - and I've read several. An amazing "comback" story - Brain is the Rocky Balboa of the Rock and Roll world and his sweet and saucy personality shines through the whole book. -you need to listen to him read it himself because of his own great telling of his story but also he is hilarious. Cheers Brian!

Cheers Chef Marco! I absolutely was enthralled with the stories of your youth, initial career and once you had truly staked it as the premier chef in the UK and a premier world chef. The reading by Timothy Bentinck is fabulous and I feel as if you are truly present. What a career and life. Thanks for this interesting an informative inside look into your life and world. Cheers!

Historia
The result of this Roger Daltrey's introspection is a remarkable memoir, instantly captivating, funny and frank, chock-full of well-earned wisdom and one-of-kind anecdotes from a raucous life that spans a tumultuous time of change in Britain and America. Born during the air bombing of London in 1944, Daltrey fought his way (literally) through school and poverty and began to assemble the band that would become The Who while working at a sheet metal factory in 1961.

Very interesting book for Who and Daltrey fans!
Revisado: 05-28-23
Roger weaves a very listenable tale as he was (apparently) the only somewhat sober member of the Who for much of their run. But seriously, this is a great book read with incredible panache by the man himself who has many great stories to tell. Thanks Roger - for the amazing classic music throughout the years and for this inside look into The Who, your life, career apart from the band and your general observances. Cheers!

Do You Feel Like I Do? is the incredible story of Peter Frampton's positively resilient life and career told in his own words for the first time. His monu-mental album Frampton Comes Alive! spawned three top-20 singles and sold eight million copies the year it was released (more than 17 million to date), and it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in January 2020.

Frampton: A Mega Talent and All Around Great Guy
Revisado: 05-28-23
I loved that Peter Frampton read the book himself - he has certainly had an interesting journey from very very young professional touring rock band member to his time in Humble Pie, his insanely successful turn after "Frampton Comes Alive," the inevitable crash of his career and the amazing rebuilding (i don't want to give any celebrity spoiler alerts but one famous Brit rocker comes to mind here!). Thanks, Peter - we appreciate the music you have given us! Cheers!

Historia
When Samuel Pickwick decides to establish and preside over a travelling society, he unknowingly brings together three of the oddest men in all of London: Tracy Tupman, the loveless self-professed ladies’ man, Augustus Snodgrass, the poet who’s never put pen to paper, and Nathaniel Winkle, the endlessly clumsy sportsman. The ‘Pickwickians’ set off in search of new adventures outside of the confines of the city. Along with a host of other colourful Dickensian characters such as Mr Pickwick’s love-struck landlady, Mrs Bardell, and his trusty sidekick, Sam Weller.

Great Dickens read by the Amazing Rory Kinnear
Revisado: 04-23-23
I have read several Dickens books and was already a fan but Pickwick Papers was a joy to hear read by master actor of 1001 voices Rory Kinnear. So fascinating that this was Dickens first book. So many hilarious scenes and characters, so many entertaining and comical yet sardonic and sometimes cynical yet fun depictions of all aspects of a large cross section of the Victorian British Class system .
The book gradually became a mega hit in serialized format and Cheers and Huzzah to Rory Kinnear who is truly a fine master of his craft with a deep understanding of the many varied characters of this book.
I raise a glass of hot pineapple rum to Mssrs Dickens and Kinnear! Cheers!

Exclusively from Audible. 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.' So begins Charles Dickens' most famous historical drama: a gripping tale of war, social injustice and the choice between darkness and light. After being unjustly imprisoned for 18 years, French doctor Manette is released from the Bastille jail in Paris and embarks upon a journey to London in the hope of finding the daughter he never met.

Historia
A failed-actor-turned-drama teacher, Tristram Randolph, has greatness thrust upon him in the form of the top job as headmaster at a new school in the dysfunctional capital of a despotic post-Soviet state. Randolph and his motley crew of teachers, each of whom embodies one of the seven deadly sins, gradually fall victim to their own vices. Things come to a head when a revolution breaks out, the school is shut down, and Randolph is accused of aiding and abetting the rebellion. His only hope lies in winning a presidential pardon with the performance of a lifetime.

A Wild and Funny Tale full of Great Characters
Revisado: 05-15-22
I absolutely loved this absurdist look at the journey of a drama teacher at Swineforth Hospital, a British secondary school. As Tristram Randolph attempts to transition his career to the next level by accepting an offer to be headmaster of a new school in Diskebapisbad, the capital city of what had been part of the soviet empire and was now a dictatorship. Hilarity ensues as he recruites his staff, learns about the culture of this crazy country, interacts with the two daughters of the dictator and ends up with way more of an adventure than he signed up for. The extremely colorful characters and ridiculous situations Auriel Roe dreamt up are carried off with excellence by narrator Adrian J. Landers whose lively delivery and seemingly endless stable of all kinds of accents and character voices made this audio book spring to life. I would describe this as a 'lighthearted dark comedy ' because even though the book takes serious jabs at the failings of people and the inner workings of world politics (Tristram and his staff all represent one of the seven deadly sins with Tristram being a fairly unsympathetic protagonist) it nonetheless comes off wonderfully! With elements that reminded me of great British comedy like Monty Python, the strangely humorous but disconcerting tales of Roald Dahl and books like The Master and Margarite. I highly recommend it!

Historia
The Devil comes to Moscow, but he isn't all bad; Pontius Pilate sentences a charismatic leader to his death, but yearns for redemption; and a writer tries to destroy his greatest tale, but discovers that manuscripts don't burn. Multi-layered and entrancing, blending sharp satire with glorious fantasy, The Master and Margarita is ceaselessly inventive and profoundly moving. In its imaginative freedom and raising of eternal human concerns, it is one of the world's great novels.

Historia
When Ernest Hemingway died in 1961 he had nearly completed A Moveable Feast, which eventually was published posthumously in 1964 and edited by his widow Mary Hemingway. This new special edition of Hemingway's classic memoir of his early years in Paris in the 1920's presents the original manuscript as the author intended it to be published at the time of his death.
