A "blast" to read

Revisado: 07-16-15

I started this book very skeptical that I would enjoy it. I was excited about the concept, but doubted it was going to be executed correctly. I openly admit I was wrong. This book delivered, and I was laughing and intrigued within minutes of starting my audiobook.

I enjoyed the themes explored in this book. It exposed the superhuman for who they were... human. I found this text to be somewhat reminiscent of Watchmen. It was not as dark as the aforementioned, however it did showcase the world of Heroes and Villains, as more than just black and white.

Better than Bossypants!

Revisado: 08-02-13

Great listen! I began listening to IEHOWM during a 5k race. Mindy’s wit and comedic beginnings drew me in from the start. I focused more on the book than the race. I love that Mindy narrated it herself. This book is perfect. It is better than Bossypants. I only make that comparison because it seems these days any book released by a female comedian with a known presence in television is immediately compared to Bossypants. I can't wait for her next book which I'm sure will come out in the near future, because of the success of her recent show.

Timeless

Revisado: 03-19-12

In the beginning, I found this book annoying. I was ashamed to admit it. I felt I must have a female inadequacy somehow. However, at some point, I'm not sure when, the book made me go all gooey inside. I now understand why so many treasure it so.

Ehh.

This book was just ok. I enjoyed the 80's references and hearing what it was like to experience the 80's first hand. However, Half way through the book I just stopped caring. It got old. He doesn't even mention Duran Duran until the very very end. I found the assumptions he made to be annoying. FYI I'm a female. I enjoy The Clash way more than Duran Duran. It was a coming of age story, and I expected to see character build up. There was none. No big ending. Just more of the same.

Water for the soul

A beautiful work. I wish I could rate this book 6 stars or 10 or a million stars. I loved the narration of old Jacob just as much, or perhaps a little more than that of young Jacob. It's a wonderful story with many themes. Both Narrators did a fantastic job. I laughed and cried and every feeling in between, brilliantly written.

Strangely enthralling

Revisado: 04-24-11

the last 4 hours are worth the whole listen. The book sounded as if it were written by a contemporary of dickens. It sweeps you away into the world of Magical Gentlemen.

Just "RIGHT"

Revisado: 03-20-11

I loved this book. Wilbur Larch is one of my favorite literary characters of all time now. He shares many of my same views on abortion and religion. When I purchased the book I had no idea what I was getting into, but what a surprise it was fantastic. I listened to it frequently at work and alot of it was awkward for a co-worker to walk in during, but aside from that the narration was wonderful. I want to listen to more books read by Grover Gardner just to hear his voice again.

Miraculous Indeed

Revisado: 03-14-11

It took me a couple hours of listening to get into it, but once I did I was hooked. It reminded me of a show on cartoon network "ADVENTURE TIME!" If after you read this book, and you dearly love it. You should truely look up this program. Anyways, The characters were inventive and animated. The narration should win an award for sure. The voices portrayed fit the characters like a glove. The book was 24hrs long; but when it was over, it felt too short.

Magically Mysterious

Revisado: 02-19-11

A wonderful book that made me ponder about what secrets lie in my past. It is Whimsical and Mysterious; by the end of the book you feel as if you know the characters as one would a dear friend. Caroline Lee brings a life to the book that is endearing. Her reading is a perfect match for this novel. This book is for the young at heart. Those without a sense of wonderment need not read.
