Inspiring! And I wish him good luck.

I had no idea he had been through so much. I recommend listening at 1.35-1.40 speed.

What an excellent surprise.

Revisado: 06-01-16

I had never heard of this author and knew only that it was written in an unusual style and that the story takes place in a post-capitalist world where automation had pretty much freed everyone up from work, and that the author is a socialist. Compelling, but I didn't know what to expect. Getting used to the style took some effort, but it was well worth it and the unusual writing style is not gratuitous or indulgent. I suppose I can say that it brings you into the world of the book and what they are experiencing.

I had also not heard of the narrator, Julie Hoverson, but I came away from this book as a huge fan of hers too. This must have been a difficult book to narrate, but she was did a excellent variety of characters, whose lines I can still hear ringing in my head. "Welcome to Quick Burger how can I help you?" That scene was was an explosive combination of great writing and great acting/narrating.

I'm looking forward to more work from both of these people.

Easy feel-good stories

Revisado: 09-03-10

Wonderful first book to a wonderful series. Great for early readers. Covers topics that young kids are familiar with, so reading is easy. One of the great things about the story is that it takes the dogs perspective occasionally.

So unfunny it was painful

Revisado: 03-14-10

This audiobook was simply not funny at all. He describes one failure after another in his attempts to be funny over the years and how the audience did not find him funny. You start to feel sorry for him, then pity, then it just becomes painful as he continues to attempt to make jokes and they fall flat. Clearly the Grammy nomination was nothing more than a tribute.

Among the best

Just brilliant! Draws you in and stays with you after you finish the series...which you will.

A starter

Revisado: 03-15-05

This is a fine introduction for people would like to know more about lucid dreaming. Don't expect an elaborate 'how to' book. It will give you the background you need to get started and point you in the right direction, however. Enjoy!

A few chuckles, very few

Revisado: 03-08-05

Somehow this just didn't do it for me. I am fan of most British comedy and especially anything related to Python, but I just couldn't sit through all of this.

Hadn't put much thought into the topic

Revisado: 01-13-05

This is the first of the Intelligence Squared series I've listened to and if the others are as thought provoking as this one, I'll be listening to more. At times hilarious and often crude, but this debate provided a variety of intelligent perspectives on the topic. Both sides were well represented and made solid points. A few crackpots, but that just made it all the more fun.

I'd pay the cost of this over most of the similarly priced movies I've seen in the last few years.

Annoyingly bad reader

Revisado: 11-26-04

I enjoyed the book enough to stay with it, especially after the first third, but if you are not very forgiving of a poor reader, you may want the print version. Some characters were done excellently, but others were just so bad or completely out of character that I was constantly paying attention to the reader rather than the story.

The story would be more appropriate for a made-for-TV movie than a novel. A fun TV movie, but not worth more than a couple hours of my time.
