Baranski is a marvelous narrator.

Revisado: 02-16-24

Christine Baranski is perfection. Mary’s story is hilarious, heartbreaking, and admirable. One of the wittiest biographies I’ve “read.”

Kevin Theis is a great narrator!

Revisado: 07-28-18

I hadn't read this story since I was a teen so it was great to hear Mr. Theis bring it to life. Gruesome in its depiction of murder.

Lowe is so much more than his personae

Revisado: 07-25-18

Absolutely fascinating. Lowe's story auditioning and working with Francis Ford Copolla on "The Outsiders," his affairs, his political involvement, alcoholism, rehab, work ethic, long marriage, everything. You don't know Rob Lowe. This terrific autobiography is funny, serious, and so interesting for fans. Great book!

Great Social Commentary

Revisado: 07-10-18

Once again Kevin Theiss does a terrific job narrating a fascinating story. I have never read The Time Machine but I was curious as to why it remains such a classic. It is much more social commentary than it is science fiction although it certainly fits into that genre. I highly recommend this book.

Hilarious, yet surprisingly serious at times

Revisado: 06-29-18

I love listening to authors read their own autobiographies and Rainn Wilson does not disappoint. After listening to Paul Simon's biography, Wilson restored my faith that most artists have a truly fucked up childhood. Hearing him talk about his experiences in NYC in the 80's brought back horrible memories. So much fun! But what I never would have guessed is how deep his faith is, the faith of the B'hai. He made it sound so cool, with all his talk of love and gooey shit like that. Overall, this is a terrific book.

Quite good even if no big surprises

Revisado: 06-13-18

Very enjoyable. I love a lot of Simon's work. The best thing about this biography is how Simon relates his creative process, keeping track of snatches of sentences throughout his life and how the melodies almost always come first.

Extremely exciting

Ben Werling does a fantastic job of narrating this exciting international story of intrigue. I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.

Gripping, Moving, excellent narrator

Revisado: 03-21-18

Incredible story based on the real life Georgia Tan, a woman heralded as the mother of adoption agencies, but it was later discovered she had henchmen, policeman, steal children from poor families to be sold for profit. Heartbreaking and yet loving tale of familial bonds and survival under the heels of the powerful.

Skims a bit, but definitely worth it.

Revisado: 02-18-18

I love listening to authors read their own autobiographies. Townsend does a great job reading his story, laughing off some pretty serious situations. But he gets very personal and tells tales of how he sees his creative endeavors. As a Townsend fan and The Who fan I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Not Very Funny

Revisado: 01-30-18

I was attracted to this book after seeing Ms. Haddish being interviewed by Trevor Noah. I guess my big problem with the book is there are long stretches that Ms. Haddish is just screaming her story and those sections are just repeating, "This muthafuckah done fuckin' beat the shit out of me and I'm thinking she trippin' cause now I'm gonna beat her muthafuckin' ass." Not my thing when it goes on and on. BUT . . . I still think she must be an incredible person for having survived the terrible emotional and physical violence of her life and succeed like she did.
