Set adrift by his pirate crew, Pocket of Dog Snogging - last seen in The Serpent of Venice - washes up on the sun-bleached shores of Greece, where he hopes to dazzle the Duke with his comedic brilliance and become his trusted fool. But the island is in turmoil. Egeus, the Duke’s minister, is furious that his daughter Hermia is determined to marry Demetrius, instead of Lysander, the man he has chosen for her. The Duke decrees that if, by the time of the wedding, Hermia still refuses to marry Lysander, she shall be executed...or consigned to a nunnery.

Pocket, Christopher Moore, and Euan Morton did it again! Another Shakespearean masterpiece! As outrageous and hilarious and eloquent as the previous books

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 316
Nine months ago, Zeus' murder catapulted the Greek gods back into public life. Now, the whole pantheon revels in new temples, casinos, and media empires - except Apollo. An overachiever with a bursting portfolio of godly duties, the amount of email alone he receives from rapacious mortals turns each day into a living hell. Yet there may be hope, if only he can return Zeus to life! With the aid of Thalia, the muse of comedy and science fiction, Apollo will risk his very godhood to help TV producer Tracy Wallace and a gamer geek named Leif, who hold the key to Zeus' resurrection.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

amusing and thought provoking
Revisado: 12-24-17
contains a lot of good ideas, and interesting points of view, and delivered with a sometimes humorous, sometimes serious , but always enjoyable tone.
I enjoyed it immensely, and was left with a lot to think about - I highly recommend it.

I couldn't put it down for a second!

What made the experience of listening to World War Z: The Complete Edition (Movie Tie-in Edition) the most enjoyable?
The plot is Absolutely Riveting! the scenes, the characters, the atmosphere of the book - it was so realistic and captivating that I totally believed that this could actually happen in the not so far away future...
The way the book is built is different from any other book I've read so far - Excellent!
The narration was beautifully done and made the listening to this book all the more enjoyable.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Most definitely - I couldn't stop listening to this book - but I had to go to sleep in the middle (and the book kept on playing - I had to find the last place I remembered again upon waking up and continue listening)

English magicians were once the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they could command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the early 1800s they have long since lost the ability to perform magic. They can only write long, dull papers about it, while fairy servants are nothing but a fading memory.

A great idea gone wrong...
Revisado: 01-11-10
The great idea of a clockwork earth was what excited me about this book in the beginning, and it lived up to its promise - at the beginning. But as the plot continued, the main character sunk a bit too deep in religion, and lurid congital encounters which i found to be in poor taste.
The idea of the book has a the potential for a great book and even a great saga.
However, the book itself, from middle to end, was rather disappointing.

Stranger in a Strange Land is the epic saga of an earthling, Valentine Michael Smith, born and educated on Mars, who arrives on our planet with “psi” powers—telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, teleportation, pyrolysis, and the ability to take control of the minds of others—and complete innocence regarding the mores of man. After his tutelage under a surrogate father figure, Valentine begins his transformation into a kind of messiah.

It is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising faces, some familiar, others only just appearing, are seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges ahead.

Still an awesome tale!
Revisado: 05-19-09
Indeed Dotrice is a better narrator for these books - it's difficult to accept a change in narrator, after he's been with you for such a long time, and in a way, has become the characters themselves.
HOWEVER, once you get passed that, this great story continues and George R. R. Martin is as brilliant as ever!
John Lee is a great narrator (I've listened to him narrating many other books "Redemption Ark", "Revelation Space", and more) - and he makes it work.
(Still, I hope Dotrice will be coming back for the next book - It's just not the same without him...)
