Beth

Bizarre, off-putting

Revisado: 10-12-19

Let me start by saying I loved the Audible Original "A Grown Up Guide to Dinosaurs" by Ben Harrod, and because of the quality of that I thought I'd try a similar title with this one, Earpedia. Big mistake. It's bizarre and unfunny. A little example. I turn on the book in the car, on the Bees title, with the expectation my kids and I will have some interesting, entertaining stuff on, say, how bees do their pollination thing, make honey, whatever. Instead, they start talking about "Sexy Slave Worker Bees", complete with sleazy moans and suggestive background music. Are you kidding me??

I miss the Princess

Revisado: 04-27-17

A Star Wars fan, yes, but more of a Fisher fan first. Her reading is entertaining and funny. Many of the topics are interesting, especially the behind the scenes glimpses from her time on the first movie. (The parts where her daughter Billie Lourde reads are unfortunately less dynamic, but not terrible). Overall a very listenable "read" from a very, very charismatic woman.
RIP Carrie Fisher

Love Laura, Hated this Audiobook

Revisado: 10-02-12

What disappointed you about Shut Up & Sing?

Flat out worst audio recording ever. I'm not a technophile by any stretch, and even my untrained ear could hear the lousy dubbing going on. You know when they show movies on television, and awkwardly dub out the curse words? Exactly like that. And in the most random of places. They didn't even bother to match the narrators - the dubs were clearly different people reading. It was so distracting that I had to stop a quarter of the way in. I'm blown away that Ms Ingraham would allow her name on this - it's that shoddy.

If you’ve listened to books by Laura Ingraham before, how does this one compare?

I've listened to "Of Thee I Zing" and other Ingraham titles - which were terrific. This one is unlistenable.

What didn’t you like about Erin Novotny’s performance?

Whiny and too southern - jarring especially when you know Laura's professional radio voice.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Holy crap, no. Go buy her other audiobooks, which are way better. Especially those narrated by Laura herself!
