Not well edited, needs tightening

Revisado: 08-04-19

Typically I like this king of thing - podcast-style reporting on quirky subcultures. But this was too long and was kind of boring because I got the points being made long before the audiobook stopped making them. I listened to the first 1/2 hour segment, then stopped.

With better editing, this might have been trimmed into an interesting 1 hour podcast. Unfortunately, listening to 2 1/2 hours more of this version wasn't worth the price of free.

full of cliches

Revisado: 05-10-19

So poorly written it was hard to listen to. Every other sentence was a cliche. Much of the advice was basic and OK I guess, but it was slanted towards businessmen trying to act like bros. Many of the suggestions for humor were passive aggressive or just plain mean. The suggestion to practice conversation on your barista shows a real lack of understanding of people - she really needs to get back to work but is required by her job to put up with you. The reader was fairly stiff.

I bought it for $3-4, but I'm not sure it was worth that.

cliche filled and no suspense

Revisado: 03-24-12

The book is so based on melodramatic cliches and had so little complexity or suspense that I was totally annoyed, even though my politics align with Grisham's. Every character is either good or evil, every event has an obvious outcome based on the given morality. I normally like Grisham's books, but this one was boring. The NYT review called it a lecture, and that is what it is.
