"Reporters love murders," Calvin Trillin writes in the introduction to Killings. "In a pinch, what the lawyers call 'wrongful death' will do, particularly if it's sudden." Killings, first published in 1984 and expanded for this edition, shows Trillin to be such a reporter, drawn time after time to tales of sudden death. But Trillin is attracted less by violence or police procedure than by the way the fabric of people's lives is suddenly exposed when someone comes to an untimely end.

Revisado: 09-07-17
Would you listen to Killings again? Why?
The writing is superb as always.
What did you like best about this story?
Just as the author writes about food, there is a tasty morsel in each story.
What didn’t you like about Robert Fass’s performance?
Mr. Fass's only flaw is that he is not he is not Calvin Trillin.
Any additional comments?
Well worth the listen. Had I not become enamored by the author's storytelling in his own voice, this book would have a 5 star review.

A story that sadly has been told too often.
Revisado: 07-12-17
What would have made A Beautiful, Terrible Thing better?
Condense it. Where was the editor?
Has A Beautiful, Terrible Thing turned you off from other books in this genre?
No.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I certainly felt for Jen and what she was put through, just felt the book was redundant.
I wish her well in the future.

In this dishy, detailed diary of one year in his life, Andy goes out on the town, drops names, hosts a ton of shows, becomes codependent with Real Housewives, makes trouble, calls his mom, drops some more names, and, while searching for love, finds it with a dog. We learn everything from which celebrity peed in her WWHL dressing room to which Housewives are causing trouble and how. Nothing is off limits - including dating.

Sad Day!
Revisado: 11-17-14
What would have made The Andy Cohen Diaries better?
A bit of himself and real feelings.
Would you ever listen to anything by Andy Cohen again?
Maybe, only because I enjoyed his first book.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Just like on his show when he started the whole, 'HAH, HA" thing, his tone becomes obnoxious and repetitive.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Andy Cohen Diaries?
I would tell him to put in some genuine feelings along with the fluffy diary commentary.
Any additional comments?
Andy Cohen is smart enough to take the "rubber necker" in all of our natures and develop shows that we ,often guiltily, love to watch. I know he is smart, he has maintained friends for years so there must be some depth and he is an entertaining show host. I expected more from him!

Catherine has been enjoying the single life for long enough to know a good catch when she sees one. Gorgeous, charismatic, spontaneous – Lee seems almost too perfect to be true. And her friends clearly agree, as each in turn falls under his spell. But there is a darker side to Lee. His erratic, controlling and sometimes frightening behaviour means that Catherine is increasingly isolated. Driven into the darkest corner of her world, and trusting no one, she plans a meticulous escape.

A finalist in the Global eBook Awards, this is a behind-the-scenes look at cruise ships in a way that's never been done before. Some of the stories are shocking, some are enlightening, but most are just laugh-out-loud entertaining. Jay Herring was an American senior officer and one of the few who had physical access to the entire ship. Interviewed on TV by ABC, radio by NPR, and in print by USA Today, The Huffington Post, and Frommers, he worked with every department and every senior officer.

I don't mind that I wasted a credit, if only I could get my time back.
Poorly written, poorly read. More about his conquests than the cruises.
A kiss and tell, where you get the feeling they did not care for his kissing, and I could have done without the telling.

This sweet and funny tale of a preppy editor buying a Brooklyn deli with his Korean in-laws is about family, culture clash, and the quest for authentic experiences. It starts with a gift. When Ben Ryder Howe’s wife, the daughter of Korean immigrants, decides to repay her parents’ self-sacrifice by buying them a store, Howe, an editor at the rarefied Paris Review, agrees to go along.

Entertaining story but ruined by an annoying narrator who often "over acts".
Korean characters sound Pakistani.

This original recording - his first - features Trillin at his most uproarious, reading from his own articles and books. Wonderfully funny and full of surprises, this is a thoroughly satisfying, eminently entertaining, and beautifully crafted collection.
