In his mid-20s, Jimmy was bored, boring, unfulfilled and underachieving. He wasn't exactly depressed, but he was very sad. Think of a baby owl whose mum has recently died in a windmill accident. He was that sad. This audiobook tells the story of how Jimmy turned it around and got happy, through the redemptive power of dick jokes.

Not funny
Revisado: 04-10-25
Not funny. A litany of superficial self-help cliches from someone who tells crude jokes for a living.

Always on the periphery, looking on, young Frankie Howe was never quite sure enough of herself to take center stage—after all, life had already judged her harshly. Now old, Frankie finds it easier to forget the life that came before. Then Damian, a young Irish caretaker, arrives at her London flat, there to keep an eye on her as she recovers from a fall. A memory is sparked, and the past crackles into life as Damian listens to the story Frankie has kept stored away all these years.

Wonderful, rich and complex
Revisado: 04-04-25
Graham Norton shows us flawed humans negotiating complex relationships in the context of cultural judgment and bias. He was able to show the personal costs of social bigotry through the lives of (mostly) likable characters. No one escapes the social pressures, though some behave better than others. Frankie is an unforgettable character and it was a pleasure to spend time with her.

Stop virtual voice
Revisado: 08-27-24
I couldn’t understand why the narration was so bland and monotonous, with strange mispronunciations, like a robot. At the end, it is identified as “virtual voice”. The story was interesting but ruined by this narration.

“Love is our only hope,” Anne Lamott writes in this perceptive new book. “It is not always the easiest choice, but it is always the right one, the noble path, the way home to safety, no matter how bleak the future looks.” In Somehow: Thoughts on Love, Lamott explores the transformative power that love has in our lives: how it surprises us, forces us to confront uncomfortable truths, reminds us of our humanity, and guides us forward. “Love just won't be pinned down,” she says. “It is in our very atmosphere” and lies at the heart of who we are. We are, Lamott says, creatures of love.

Her willingness to share her pain and embarrassment makes all the difference. It’s nice to know that we are not alone those inexperience excruciating moments of bullying and rejection.

This was a major disappointment. The information was simply presented without sufficient explanation. The writing was awkward at times, with incorrect grammar and vocabulary (e.g., exasperate for exacerbate) -- well below what I would expect from doctoral-level training or professional editing. The narration was bizarre -- I thought I was listening to a computer. There are many better books on narcissism out there.
