A very good listen.

Jesse is a better writer than a narrator but I'm happy to hear his voice reading this well-thought, deep dive into modern and not-so modern comedy. The book spans a few generations and shows how each has its relevant features that make up the whole.

You son of a b**ch I'm in!

Bronson delivers yet another great read of course.
These are fascinating stories for anyone fascinated by these stars and the period that propelled them to stardom. I found the volume so easily digestible, like many others I was wanting more in depth coverage - as I am a voracious hunter of this kind of lore. Don't let that deter you, listener, you'll have a great time with it. I sure did.

wonderful, I wish it were twice as long

Revisado: 08-04-22

I loved hearing these stories read by the man himself. I only wish that I didn't blow through it in one day, it's something to savor slowly and studiously.

A nice treat, but no meat

Revisado: 07-29-22

It was really cool to hear Jim read this little short story, I do think he did a fine job! He does occasionally dip into a John Wayne style of cadence which I found entertaining on my own level.
If it's Dresden, I'm here for it, but this story itself isn't much. A cool new character is introduced, but beside that I found it to be wholly insubstantial. I do however, recommend it.

Very captivating story!

I was born in 1980. That might be enough said, but if not - this story sheds light on not just corporate competition, but passion for taming the frontier of what would become the early video game craze.

Bob appeared on Howard Stern to promote it, and I barely listened. got the title of the book and pre-ordered instantly. wonderful stories from one of my favorite people in the comedy world! I couldn't shut it off for long and finished it far too soon. I highly recommend!

Excellent narrator, cool story

I'm getting to this series late and I'm happy I did, it's an easily digestible story of action and intrigue, paired well with a great narrator.

I bailed pretty early. Bad narrator.

Revisado: 10-26-21

I'm a lifelong metalhead and would absolutely love reading these stories, so I figured I'd listen to this book while doing my evil chores around Halloween. The choice of narrator was immediately jarring, but I've stuck it out with others before and came around to enjoy it. Not the case this time. While having excellent diction and a decent voice for... a baseball or golf legend's memoirs... it's just not right for these wild stories and anecdotes. I approximate it to having Dar from Beastmaster recount stories of drug and bodily abuse, which I think I'd actually prefer to this. They hired a Rush fan, I guess. Too corny to continue.

Excellent stories read by the man who lived them.

Revisado: 03-21-21

A little self indulgent, sure, but given the context, I would have nothing less. Bas reads and reacts to his own accounts with genuine glee and emotion, it's obvious the man has amazing energy for his past and future.

Change of narrator, meh

Revisado: 07-25-19

Admittedly it took me a bit to warm up to Price's careful enunciation, but after 8 books his voice became Jack's.
Hill, while probably a better "actor" does a fine job with everyone but our hero, turning him into a snotty, drunk-lipped slob. I started getting more of a chuckle every time I heard him describe how another character was taking in Jack, usually "calculated, cool, quicker than I've ever seen anyone move!" - just to have him speak a line like a guy trying to goad you into a fight by telling you how bad your sister is in bed.
Overall I enjoyed the story, you will too.
