I learned a whole lot more than I thought I would. I didn't expect there to be so much world history covered in this book. Well done!

I was expecting a dry breakdown of all the different types of bats. What I got was so much more. The adventures of Tuttle are so captivating.
He encounters spooky people and spooky wildlife, and has converted me to a bat fan.

Historia
Are customers failing to see what sets your brand apart, pushing your prices (and margins) down? Healthy prices and profits are a company’s lifeblood, critical for funding current operations and future growth. Yet too many businesses look alike and are then forced to compete on price alone. Instead, they should aim for clear, sustainable differentiation, owning the market as the enduring Go-To brand. Theresa M. Lina will help you escape the commodity trap.

I'm a fan of actor, John Lina, and was excited to learn that he would be pitching in some with the narration of this book. Theresa did a good job narrating as well. The book is well produced!
I learned a lot along the way.

Historia
When Norm Macdonald, one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time, was approached to write a celebrity memoir, he flatly refused, calling the genre “one step below instruction manuals.” Norm then promptly took a two-year hiatus from stand-up comedy to live on a farm in northern Canada. When he emerged he had under his arm a manuscript, a genre-smashing book about comedy, tragedy, love, loss, war, and redemption. When asked if this was the celebrity memoir, Norm replied, “Call it anything you damn like.”

Luke for me there
Revisado: 05-23-23
I'm not knocking any stars off for failure to pun because it's a memoir of finding one's self. it would have been cool though.
I found some parts hard to read. I cringe at the thought of my mother paying my way. It was hard to be jealous of him because he was robbed of the opportunity to struggle that made TR the man he was.

Historia
The Psychopath Test is a fascinating journey through the minds of madness. Jon Ronson's exploration of a potential hoax being played on the world's top neurologists takes him, unexpectedly, into the heart of the madness industry. An influential psychologist who is convinced that many important CEOs and politicians are, in fact, psychopaths teaches Ronson how to spot these high-flying individuals by looking out for little telltale verbal and nonverbal clues. And so Ronson, armed with his new psychopath-spotting abilities, enters the corridors of power.

Jon is a top-notch journalist. I've read many of his books, and all have been enjoyable. He does a good job of painting a fair picture of each person.

In this book, Galaxy tells the poignant story of his 13-year relationship with a petite gray-and-white short-haired cat named Benny, and gives singular advice for living with, caring for, and loving the feline in your home. When Benny arrived in his life, Galaxy was a down-and-out rock musician with not too much more going on than a part-time job at an animal shelter and a drug problem. Benny's previous owner brought the cat to the shelter in a cardboard box to give him up.

Revisado: 07-13-22
I'm not a cat person, but this is a darn good story. I enjoy watching Jackson fly his freak flag on Animal Planet and decided to give this a listen. I am so glad that I did.
This is a story about getting over addiction and growing as a person. It is an encredible story and even though Jackson says mojo too much for my liking, I'd live to hangout with him and shoot the poo.

Historia
In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

In a world where there is far too much ingenuity, it's refreshing to hear from Curtis Jackson. He has the ability to seamlessly relate slinging rocks to white collar work. 5 stars

Historia
Why we think it’s a great listen: There’s no gentle way to put this – Frank McCourt’s performance of Angela’s Ashes is just better than the Pulitzer Prize-winning book. Frank McCourt shares his sometimes heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking story of growing up poor, Irish, and Catholic in the Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Angela's Ashes.

I've avoided this book for far too long
Revisado: 03-23-19
I thought this book was only for the pretentious and I was wrong. This is a delightful story even for those with simpler minds. Frank McCourt, RIP, did an excellent job bringing his memories to life. It really felt like I was being told the story by a 4 year old at the beginning and a young adult at the end.

Historia
Living and slaving in Fill City One, you get used to the smell. We call it the Everpresent Stink. But every once in a while, on a spring day with a breeze, it clears away enough to remind us that there is something more out there. Most Fillers' wildest dreams would be just to get past the walls and live in the mainland. But my dream? It’s a little bigger. I’m going to Mars.

Khristine Hvam delivers an exceptional performance
Revisado: 02-05-19
For what it is, light reading, it is an enjoyable book. As someone that enjoys science fiction books that really go into depth and tackle problems, I was a little disappointed that Dircks skirted around issues. This book is not without it flaws and there is one that drives me a little bit crazy. A character was introduced about halfway through the book that somehow plays a big role without much being disclosed about him.
Khristine Hvam made You're Going to Mars! a much more delightful experience. Her performance added so much to the book and make it easy to overlook some of the flaws. I realize its only February but this is the best performance I have listened to all year.
This book isn't life changing by any means but it is enjoyable. Khristine Hvam is one of those narrators that I haven't really gotten to spend much time with because a lot of the books that she has performed are not my cup of tea.
