Historia
Is there a secret to happiness? Beloved comedian Paula Poundstone conducts a series of "thoroughly unscientific" experiments to find out, offering herself up as a guinea pig and recording her data for the benefit of all humankind. Armed with her unique brand of self-deprecating wit and the scientific method, in each chapter Paula tries out a different get-happy hypothesis.

Contemplative, with bursts of laughter

I appreciate her story
Revisado: 11-27-18
I really wanted to love this book. I appreciate and honor her for the sacrifices she has made and the battles she has fought. I bought it looking for a laugh and when I giggled during the audible sample, I thought I had found the book I was looking for. Unfortunately, that little giggle was all I got in this book.

Free book
Revisado: 11-12-18
Well, you can't complain about a free book but this would not be worth purchasing. There's really no story at all, no explanation to anything. I would not listen to this again and will try to get this out of my library as I only keep books I would read multiple times.

Historia
This heartfelt Audible Original, narrated by Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress Mary-Louise Parker, follows three military veterans as they reclaim their most painful memories and turn them into comedy. Michael Garvey, Isaura Ramirez, and Patrick Harth left combat zones to challenge themselves in a stand-up comedy boot camp. As they learn to transform their raw emotions into cathartic experiences, they face the daunting challenge of trying to make an audience laugh with jokes about war, trauma, and mental health.

Thank you

Thank you to the men and women who participated in this. This is not a stand up act. This is a documentary about how veterans are using comedy to help themselves and others.

Midlife crisis in the white house
- De Kingsley en 11-02-18
Thanks for the Original
Revisado: 11-12-18
I mean it's kind of a typical It's a Wonderful Life type story. About an hour in I was going to return it. An hour and 10 minutes and I started sniffling. At my desk... in the office... It was touching but then I am the type that starts bawling at Christmas Ford Truck commercials...
The actors really put a lot into this. They made it nice to listen to. I probably would not have stuck through the story if teh actors hadn't been so good.

It's okay
Revisado: 10-16-18
Nothing special but not the worst book I've heard. No big mystery, no surprises. Narrator wasn't fantasic but it was free with Kindle unlimited. It was a time filler at work so I finished the whole thing.

Historia
In the latest installment of The Vampire Chronicles, Anne Rice summons up dazzling worlds to bring us the story of Armand—eternally young, with the face of a Botticelli angel. We go with Armand across the centuries to the Kiev Rus of his boyhood - a ruined city under Mongol dominion—and to ancient Constantinople, where Tartar raiders sell him into slavery. And in a magnificent palazzo in the Venice of the Renaissance we see him emotionally and intellectually in thrall to the great vampire Marius.

Least favorite
Revisado: 09-17-18
For me, Anne Rice was the beginning of a long and happy relationship with Audible. I have purchased most of her titles here and what I haven't purchased is waiting in my wish list (500 books and counting!). I listen to these books over and over but unfortunately this is my least favorite book in The Vampire Chronicles.

Historia
The folks in Mike Erikson's small New England town would say he's just your average, everyday guy. And that's exactly how Mike likes it. Sure, the life he's chosen isn't much of a challenge to someone with his unique gifts, but he's content with his quiet and peaceful existence. That is, until an old friend presents him with an irresistible mystery, one that Mike is uniquely qualified to solve.

A little more of the same.
Revisado: 01-17-18
I almost gave this book four stars because it carries so many of the themes in 14. However, I love Peter Clines writing and 14 remains one of my top all times favorite books so after consideration I realized I really didn't mind. However, before purchasing this title I didn't see any indication this was a continuation of those ideas. No matter, bottom line is if you liked 14 you will like The Fold. Totally worth the credit and I will listen again - and probably several more times beyond that!

With A Woman's Worth, Marianne Williamson turns her charismatic voice to exploring the crucial role of women in the world today. Drawing deeply and candidly on her own experiences, the author illuminates her thought-provoking positions on such issues as beauty and age, relationships and sex, children and careers, and the reassurance and reassertion of the feminine in a patriarchal society.

This is my first Marianne Williamson book. I will listen to this multiple times. So encouraging, I found myself nodding my head and wanting to shout "Amen!" out loud.

Overall good read
Revisado: 08-23-17
If you could sum up Allie and Bea in three words, what would they be?
Heart warming story
What other book might you compare Allie and Bea to and why?
Anything along the lines of Fried Green Tomatoes, Steel Magnolias, your typical tear jerker, make you giggle, make you feel good story.
Which scene was your favorite?
Glass Beach in CA. I actually looked it up and it's a real place and now I want to go!
If you could take any character from Allie and Bea out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Definitely Bea but we'd have to get drinks after!
Any additional comments?
I was pleasantly surprised to really like this book. It took about half way through to be 100% that I "really liked" it but it had enough thought put into the plot that it wasn't just another version of the same old story. There are not huge twists or shockers but I don't regret spending my time with Allie and Bea. I will most likely listen to this one again.
