Written by garbage about garbage

Revisado: 09-13-20

There is no doubt in my mind that Michael Cohen would still be by Trump's side "fixing" his many indiscretions were it not for his getting caught. I don't believe for a moment Cohen has had an awakening of conscience. Which is why I believe most of his stories are probably somewhat true. If Cohen is attempting to come off sympathetic, he failed miserably BUT that is what makes them seem plausible. I would make this book mandatory reading for any Trump supporter but since most have not read a book in their entire life, that is wishful thinking.

Reads like Fiction and probably is.

What did you like best about Fire and Fury? What did you like least?

Just finished the passages about conversations between Trump and Melania. Really? Private conversations and feelings that no one else could be privy to are written as fact. Instead of "this source or that source said that Melania told them...." We see this "Just a little longer", (Trump) told her "It will all be over in November." I plan to finish listening but with a different attitude. This isn't a tell all. It is a work of fiction and speculation that I will still enjoy due to my conviction that Trump truly is as inept and removed from reality as this book portrays him. However, it is ultimately just a story with too many gaps filled in for entertainment value.

Just finished Listening Second Time

Revisado: 12-18-17

Any additional comments?

This is a great story for young and old. I see that most people say you should be a nerd, gamer, child of the 80s but I am none of those things and really enjoyed the story. I doubt I could have enjoyed it more. When I listened upon initial release, it seemed like a fun story of a dystopian future with an underdog fighting against the evil that had taken over corporate America. Unfortunately, while listening again, it really hit a lot closer to home due to the current US political climate. I wouldn't be surprised if this is being assigned in school.

Not Usually A Picoult Fan

Revisado: 11-26-14

What did you love best about Leaving Time?

The information on the Elephants.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Leaving Time?

Plot Twist

Any additional comments?

I finished listening last night and immediately made a donation to feed "Sissy" from the Nashville Elephant Sanctuary. I hope all that read or listen to this book do what they can to help the plight of these majestic animals.

So Far He's A Survivor. Hope He Stays That Way!

Revisado: 10-24-14

What did you love best about Crash and Burn?

I liked Artie's honesty even during his lowest most humiliating moments. I love his guilt over putting is family though hell and his appreciation that they stood by him.

What did you like best about this story?

Artie didn't sugar coat anything.

Which character – as performed by Sean Runnette – was your favorite?

I would rather Artie have performed the book.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Just when you think you've fallen your lowest, you can always go lower.

If You're A Fan of Pit Boss, You'll Enjoy It.

Revisado: 02-27-14

I've watched the show so I decided to listen to the audio book to get more background information. I felt like Mr Rossi touched on many things but nothing was in depth. I really felt like this was put out to make some money (for the charity maybe? I am not sure where the proceeds go) but not much soul searching was done to explain bad choices.

Didn't care for it at all, and it wasn't the bugs

Revisado: 01-24-14

So, we have a main character that is lazy, self centered and mooching off her husband while she ignored her kid by having a baby sitter daily. And people found this woman likable? By the end of the third chapter, I was wishing she'd get eaten alive and let her husband and child have a new decent person in their lives. Ben, if you can't write female protagonists that aren't needy and useless, perhaps you shouldn't try.

Terrible

Revisado: 06-03-13

Was the author trying to win an award for cramming the most metaphors in a single book? It really had the potential of being a half way decent story should the author been better. I felt like I was listening to someone who just read, "Writing Novels for Dummies".

Just As Good As Cinder

Revisado: 02-12-13

I think people got attached to Cinder and wanted the book to be just like the last once but continued. It is not. It introduces a new "fairy tale" into the mix with new characters that I thought added to the story and made it more enjoyable. Cinder is still front and center but Scarlet is likable and strong. I can't wait to see how they both evolve and which fairy tale is rewritten in book 3.
