Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.

What a life. Tempting to believe that someone with so much success could be anything but positive about it. But when you pile everything up explained here I see a trapped child who grew into a trapped adult. She’s off on her next adventure now. Whatever that is. None of our business.

One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide. This audiobook brings together C. S. Lewis' legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."

Classic
Revisado: 06-22-17
The most concise, and easy to understand arguments for faith and Christianity in particular you will find. It will sound a little dated in places to many. Nevertheless, it provides terrific answers to those asking “why” are we here at all.
Mere Christianity is not fire and brimstone reasoning. But, it is uncompromising when it comes to explaining God’s perfection.
Lewis has his limitations. He experienced the horror of war first hand, but he sometimes sounds oddly clinical and even naive when it comes to human relations. This is not a book about sociology or psychology. It assumes only that the reader is looking for answers.
For those listening to the Audible edition, Mere Christianity benefits from being written and originally presented as a series of radio programs.

Hard to care
Revisado: 06-22-17
Would you try another book from Rex Stout and/or Michael Prichard?
Yes
What could Rex Stout have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
It seemed to me Stout only had an idea for a crime that needed to be solved. I never really cared about any of the characters.
Any additional comments?
If I had started with this story I probably would never have read/listened to another Nero Wolfe mystery.

A car accident in upstate New York strands Nero Wolfe, America's largest detective, and Archie Goodwin, his confidential assistant, in the midst of a family feud. The feud, over $45,000 worth of prize bull, turns ugly when the beef in question is found pawing the mangled body of a family scion. Solving the mystery is no problem - but, alas, the evidence keeps disappearing.

The best Wolfe I've read so far
Revisado: 06-22-17
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is a genuine mystery. Some of Stout's Wolfe novels are simply elongated chase scenes, with Archie (the real star of so many of these stories) pursuing the bad guy(s) on behalf of his enormous boss. This book has twists, turns and emotional hooks. The various suspects and witnesses have developed personalities, frailties and motives for their actions that surprise. Michael Prichard brings all of them to life.
The only weakness in the story is how a somewhat random act by Wolfe near the start of the tale figures into the solution. But readers can decide for themselves!
What does Michael Prichard bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
If Rex Stout did not have Prichard's interpretation of Archie in mind, then he should have. The other characters get the individuality they deserve. But Prichard makes Archie the star, as he should be.
