Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Historia
The funny and talented Chip Gaines is well known to millions of people as a TV star, renovation expert, bestselling author, husband to Joanna, and father of four in Waco, Texas. But long before the world took notice, Chip was a serial entrepreneur who was always ready for the next challenge. Whether it was buying a neighborhood laundromat or talking a bank into a loan for some equipment to start a lawn-mowing service, Chip always knew that the most important thing was to take that first step.

Wonderful real story about challenges, triumph, family, and positivity
Revisado: 10-31-18
Love how he speaks about his adventures and challenges but never does he let those challenges turn him away from moving forward. I also love how he speaks about his wife and family and knows they are far more valuable than all the other things him and Joanna have on their plate. He knows he has been blessed but also recognizes not to overdo things just because he can; doesn’t fall prey to greed. He is a real entrepreneur and from the sounds of it his employees get a taste of it. No task is too big and his employees are definitely challenged when they work for Chip and Joanna. He mentions that you really only learn when you are thrown in the fire and make mistakes which is nerve racking but oh so true. This book was a great read; enjoyed every chapter.

Historia
Tiffany can't avoid being funny: it's just who she is. But The Last Black Unicorn is so much more than a side-splittingly hilarious collection of essays - it's a memoir of the struggles of one woman who came from nothing and nowhere. A woman who was able to achieve her dreams by reveling in her pain and awkwardness, showing the world who she really is, and inspiring others through the power of laughter.

Loved the raw and realness of her story
Revisado: 12-29-17
Some might say that having someone read the book to them, specially the author, takes away from the creative aspect of envisioning the characters in the story the way you want to but I would disagree. She made me laugh so much and also allowed me to hear about her life the way she lived it and I think that's better than making up your own ideas of her life.

Historia
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Wow!!
Revisado: 01-20-17
I don't even know what to say except for WOW!!!
I already like Trevor Noah on the Daily Show and think he is funny most of the time but this book brought about tons of laughing moments. Even til the end when I got all teary eye he still managed to get a smile and laugh out of me.
Really appreciate how raw and blunt he was about everything from the good to the bad things, actions, emotions, and thoughts he had.
Again the audible version makes it all the better because I surely wouldn't have been able to pronounce all those words in all those languages.
I truly enjoyed the story and having the author read it makes it that much personal and you can truly emerge yourself in the story and get a sense of how it really happened.

Absolutely Loved it!!!!

My brother allowed me to use this prime account to try out the audible option before I made a decision. I'm glad he did. Now I know it's worth it.
With a busy schedule, it gets pretty tough to set some time aside to read a book, however the audible option makes it so easy. I can have the author read it to me while on my way to work or while I'm multitasking and I love that!
I record the Fixer Upper show and watch it at a later time with my mom. It's like OUR show! My mother does not speak or understand the language very well but it's clear that there is no need for a language to show how Chip & Joanna's relationship, genuine spirit, and amazing quality work shine even through television.
We enjoy watching the couple fix those ugly houses and turn them into beautiful livable homes. We also love how they interact with each other, their children and their employees.
The book gave the back story to what we now see as a successful business so it's nice to know they've kept true to themselves. I knew the book was going to be good but I didn't realize I would finish it in one seating! That's how much I loved The Magnolia Story. The fact that I had it in audible and had Chip and Joanna do the voice overs made it that much more special and engaging.
Now I will have to share a summary of the book to my mother in her language as there is no option for an audible other than in English but I'm sure she will love hearing about it just as much as I did.
