not just for Munch fans

Just a riveting tale of art and perception and value and values. For anyone interested in seeing by listening.

moral certainty is very tedious

Revisado: 08-31-23

While this book is sprinkled with amusing parts that are weighted toward the beginning of the book, the weird certainty that is over the entire book in combination with his own admission of his fickle approach to his diet changes makes for a trying listen after the first hour. As always, this narrator is great and I still really like Dick Gregory and will always be vegan.

so tedious

Revisado: 01-04-22

I want to defend Blake butler because I like some of his earlier works but this was a slog and felt more and more like a tedious intellectual exercise with painful stereotypes in supporting parts. sorry I get to bash this but I made it through because I felt I owed it that for some reason.

at times terrifying and fun. I really wish more people were talking about this. maybe I missed something.

this book was delayed at least twice before !

Revisado: 12-23-20

There was clearly a lot of care that went into this and it shows. I am very appreciative. it is not among my top three favorite but it still has all those beats you love and all the clear influences from Hawthorne and grass. sometimes the tone shuffles between comedy and tragedy in a way that feels clunky to today's ears. I am curious what Irving thinks of this book today. very fun.

I was skeptical

Revisado: 02-23-20

As a 20+ year vegan and ultra runner, some of the content of the first half of the book had me rolling my eyes. by the last chapter, I was so engaged, I didn't want it to end. his skepticism and hope were very powerful for me and I feel like I'm already living better. thank you, Rick!

What a fun listen

Revisado: 08-06-18

I got this book in 2002 or 2003 and listening to it again in audio form was an absolute blast. What a great listen and adventure. The performers are great and do a great job differentiating without doing poor imitations.
Thank you

Wow

i have listened to hundreds of audiobooks. this book is 1 in 100. Greg Sestero's performance is incredible and his voice in the text is so strong. Combined with Bissell's unique strength in narrative, this audiobook is a force. Do not even think of trying to read this when you get so much more from the reading of the audiobook.

This is really bad

Revisado: 03-31-12

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

People who enjoy the Sedaritives and other unfunny parts of the Believer

What could the authors have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Used different material, honestly. They seem to sell themselves short with this advice tactic which bottoms out before it starts for me.

How could the performance have been better?

They do not sound invested or convinced that what they are saying is funny. It may be because it is not.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

A mostly solid line up of readers and writers.
