In this quirky ghost story, a woman endures jury duty by observing the many characters in the room, including a TV crew filming a paranormal presence in the courthouse, a service-dog-in-training, and a man with a "ghost box," a radio to try to communicate with the beyond. As humorous chaos ensues, our protagonist unexpectedly needs to confront the truth about the secret crush she’s been harboring.

This is a fun little snippet - I like the idea of a haunted courthouse, and would love to see more on this idea from the author.

A crotchety nightwatchman in a whaling museum contemplates Neptune the stuffed sea lion, originally owned by P.T. Barnum. In his admiration for the kingly animal, he studies ventriloquism to give Neptune a voice. When a field trip comes through the museum, he has an unexpectedly meaningful exchange with a precocious, like-minded child...and Neptune.

Al Franken, Giant of the Senate is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it.

Perceptive and funny
Revisado: 06-04-17
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, it is a fascinating look at the Senate from a sitting Senator with an inside view of the transition from the Obama presidency to the Trump presidency.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Al Franken, Giant of the Senate?
His account of his work on the Judiciary Committee, and the research he and his staff do before hearings.
What does Al Franken bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He writes well, and has a gift for explaining legislative process in an engaging manner. At the end of the book, he encourages specific action by Americans who disagree with the current political climate of fear and dishonesty.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
It is reassuring to know that Senator Franken is in the Senate doing his job and urging others to do the same. It is encouraging that he now feels he can introduce humor into his political work again. I think Senator Franken's style of informed humor is an effective tool against pomposity, invented threats and "alternative facts".
