    Publisher's Summary:
    "Hi. In your hands, right now, you hold the culmination of thousands of years of human intelligence, ingenuity, and brilliance. Now put your goddamn phone down and pay attention to my book.
    "What is in my book, you ask? (I'm really glad you asked, by the way, because now I get to tell you.)
    "Time travel. Gay marriage. Sportsballing. Futuristic goggles that DO NOTHING.
    "Tiny brags from my publisher, stuff like: 'This is an uproarious, uncensored take on empathy, personal responsibility, and what it means to be human.'
    "Excessive brags about myself: 'An extraordinarily clever, punishingly funny, sharp-tongued blogosphere star, NFL player, husband and father, one-time violin prodigy, voracious lifetime reader, obsessive gamer, and fearless champion of personal freedom.'
    "Oh, and also an essay on the Pope's Twitter account. Honestly, if that doesn't draw you in, there's no hope left for humanity. I also give my own funeral eulogy, in case you were hoping I'd go away and die now!
    "So please, join me in the glorious art of windmill tilting by reading this 'collection of rousing, uncensored personal essays, letters, and stories' (I have no idea why that's in quotes).

    "In a league (and sports climate) which has become one, long, repetitive sound bite, a guy who will actually say something meaningful." (BleacherReport.com)
    "Chris Kluwe is a glimmering sparklepony of candor (and not afraid to dive fearlessly into the marriage equality debate)." (Mother Jones)

    Great Listen, Great Book
    If you could sum up Beautifully Unique Sparkleponies in three words, what would they be?
    Funny Honest Liberal
    What did you like best about this story?
    His genuineness and honesty mixed with a dash of humor.
    What does Chris Kluwe bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
    The emphasis in his reading really adds to the funny nature of the book.
    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
    Yes
    Not to my liking.
    I am a left leaning individual like Chris. I agree with nearly every one of his points of view. However, I find his style obnoxious and worse, he isn't funny. I Didn't laugh once. I found him to be that bad American stereotype. I was hoping to learn a thing or two here. There was nothing for me I'm afraid. If you like his style, then perhaps you will fare better than I.
    Deep thoughts from Chirs Kluwe
    Any additional comments?
    While I am a football fan, Chris Kluwe was not someone who was on my radar. Part of this is because he played for most of his professional life for the Minnesota Vikings, and I'm a Packers fan. Part of this is because he's a punter and, well, I don't think I could even tell you who the punter for the Packers is.
    For me, I found out about Chris Kluwe when he wrote an open letter to Maryland political Emmett Burns, who had publicly condemned, and tried to stifle, Ravens player Brendan Ayanbadejo for speaking out in support of same-sex marriage.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Businesses these days talk a lot about figuring out what the customer wants. Well, here's your first lesson: the customer doesn't know what he wants. This book is going to show you how to convince him he wants the thing you're selling.
    Les Gold has been in business since age 12, when he started selling used golf clubs from his dad's basement. Now he owns Detroit's biggest pawnshop, American Jewelry and Loan, and is the star of the hit reality TV show Hardcore Pawn.
    As a third-generation pawnbroker, Gold grew up in the business, dealing with customers who could be unruly and violent as often as they were friendly. He became good at selling just about anything and at buying items for what they were worth. Although he started at his family's small pawnshop, he has now expanded into a 50,000-square-foot former bowling alley, making 1,000 deals a day.
    On any given day, he could be taking a vintage car in to pawn or chasing down a thief who's just stolen a gold chain from the store. No business school in the world can teach you as much about buying, selling, negotiating, managing employees, dealing with customers, advertising, tracking trends, and predicting the economy's ups and downs.
    You will learn:
    No place in the world prepares you better for the working world than a pawnshop, and Les Gold takes you inside his shop to share what he's learned from 55 years in the most interesting job in the world.
    Critic Reviews:
    "Since his first appearance on Good Afternoon America in the summer of 2012, Les has quickly become one of my favorite guests, in the mornings and the afternoons. I often call him 'our own Santa Claus,' for the joy he gives people by showing them the wealth they didnt know they had. Les's years of experience have given him a business acumen that stretches far beyond the pawnshop - and this book is a must read for anyone who wants to create their own success in any business."

    Publisher's Summary:
    Acclaimed sportswriter Allen Barra exposes the uncanny parallels - and lifelong friendship - between two of the greatest baseball players ever to take the field. Culturally, Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays were light-years apart. Yet they were nearly the same age and almost the same size, and they came to New York at the same time. They possessed virtually the same talents and played the same position. They were both products of generations of baseball-playing families, for whom the game was the only escape from a lifetime of brutal manual labor. Both were nearly crushed by the weight of the outsized expectations placed on them, first by their families and later by America. Both lived secret lives far different from those their fans knew. What their fans also didn't know was that the two men shared a close personal friendship - and that each was the only man who could truly understand the other's experience.
    Members Reviews:
    Interesting Story of Two Baseball Greats But Obnoxious at Times
    This is an interesting story of two baseball greats - Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays - and their common bond and relationship, but it can get obnoxious at times.
    All the key events of their careers are included in this book: Willie Mays' catch in the 1954 World Series, Mickey Mantle's catch in the 1956 World Series to save Don Larsen's perfect game, the continued years of leading the leagues as the greatest hitters from 1954-1962, Willie Mays' great All Star games, Mickey Mantle's great World Series games, including the 1962 World Series when they played each other (which wasn't so great for either of them).
    However, if you are looking for books on their careers, I would turn elsewhere, e.g. Willie Mays, the Life and Legend by James Hirsch (refenced in this book a number of times) and The Last Boy by Jane Leavy (the most recent book about Mickey Mantle although The Mick and Mickey Mantle, My Favorite Summer - 1956 are also great but hard to find now.) These books do more justice to each individual and don't go back and forth in such a way that it can get somewhat confusing at times.
    What is good about this book is the relating of the times that they interacted: the barnstorming tours, Willie Mays All Stars vs. Mickey Mantle All Stars, and especially the Home Run Derby episode in 1960 which the author goes into in much detail (those were great episodes). Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle became close friends and colleagues due to similar experiences and careers and this book highlights that. If you are interested in that, I do recommend this book for you.
    What is not good about this book, is the tendency of the author to make the book about himself and not these two baseball greats. I'm sorry but I didn't buy the book to read about Allen Barra and his attitudes and opinions. At the end of the book, it actual gets obnoxious. Mr. Barra's continual criticism of Willie Mays' unwillingness to take a stance and support the civil rights movement is repeated ad nauseum. And, his critism of Willie Mays' unwillingness to open up to reporters - well, I'm sorry but I just don't care what this author thinks here.
    At the end of the book, Mr.

    OK, not much new . . . but still the greatest
    Series of 13 audio clips provided without context and certainly not in chronological or any other distinguishable order. But, it is still worthwhile to hear the greatest speak in his own words. Also, a little sad to hear how badly compromised his speaking voice became at the end of his life.
    Repetitive.
    it is a good listen for all the interviews and speechs but a lot of them are repeated through out
    Great man, poor quality recording
    I love anything to do with this man, but unfortunately some recordings are difficult to make out.
    Still definitely worth a listen !!

    Title: Tramp
    Subtitle: The Life of Charlie Chaplin
    Author: Joyce Milton
    Narrator: Clinton Wade
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 19 hrs and 36 mins

    Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities
    Publisher's Summary:
    Charlie Chaplin made an amazing 71 films by the time he was only 33 years old. He was not only known as the worlds first international movie star, but as a comedian, film director, and a man ripe with scandal, accused of plagiarism, communism, pacifism, liberalism, and anti-Americanism. He seduced young women, marrying four different times, each time to a woman younger than the next.
    In this animated biography of Chaplin, Joyce Milton reveals to us a life riddled with gossip and a struggle to rise from an impoverished London childhood to the life of a successful American film star. Milton shows us how the creation of his famous character - The Tramp, the Little Fellow - was both rewarding and then devastating as he became obsolete with the changes of time.
    Tramp is a perceptive, clever, and captivating biography of a talented and complicated man whose life was filled with scandal, politics, and art.
    Editorial Reviews:
    Though few discussions on cinema get by without mentioning Charlie Chaplin and his influence, Joyce Miltons Tramp: The Life of Charlie Chaplin sets out to tell the story of the famed mustache and bowler away from the camera. In a clipped baritone, popular Audible performer Clinton Wade takes listeners from the early and hardworking history of the Chaplin family to Chaplins film successes and later to his scandals - both political and social. For those who remember the classic characters of the silent era, and those who just love a captivating look at a complicated life, Miltons Tramp is an audiobook not to be overlooked.
    Members Reviews:
    Tramp: The Life of Charlie Chaplin
    Since I knew very little about Charlie Chaplin's personal life and have not read his autobiography, this book was very informative and inciteful. Ms. Milton obviously spent much time in researching and developing her version that contains heavy references to other books already written and much from his autobiography. I enjoy biographies more than autobiography because of the obvious slant in view, however, Ms. Milton did seem overly critical and bias, particularly in Chaplin's treatment of women....no sugar coating here.
    My biggest criticism is not the style and delivery of the material but the number of grammatical errors and misspelled words. Maybe since this was an eread, the editing was minimal (I'm giving the publisher a break--there should have been closer editing before reputating such a product). Shame on your laziness!
    not at all objective
    As most people have already noted this is a very biased approach to Charlie Chaplin the man.
    What's more the writer seems to be unaware of the fact that she is writing a biography about a man who lived a century ago within a totally different cultural context. She launches an attack on Chaplin's pro communist sentiments as if the man had lived in the post soviet era and was aware of what was really happening in the communist countries.
    Then she comes back to accuse him of not being absolutely loyal to the communist ideals and having his doubts. She even accuses him of sympathies for the nazi ideology on the grounds that he reproduced some of the nietschean ideas of superman in a conversation. Well she admits that he might not have been a nazi but he surely was an elitist.
    She implies that he committed murder.
    She finds any woman that had a positive idea about him naive and the ones that held a grudge against him sensible.

    Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities
    Publisher's Summary:
    In The Wit and Wisdom of Yogi Berra, author Phil Pepe takes Yogi from St. Louis to New York's Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium, including all the stops along the way - from the days he put soles on women's shoes to his induction into the Baseball's Hall of Fame, when he coined one of his most remembered phrases: "I thank everybody for making this day necessary."
    Phil Pepe explores Yogi Berra as a boy, player, hero, coach, manager, husband, and father, a buffoon and a human being. He relates all of the Berraisms in an absorbing treatment that is simultaneously comical, thoughtful, and biographical. Who can forget what Yogi said about a popular restaurant: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." Or Yogi's take on Little League Baseball? "I think it's wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house."

    and admirable man that was a great Baseball Player
    Well done and honoring to a humble, honest, and admirable man that was a great Baseball Player, teammate, and family man.
    Yogi Being Yogi
    An interesting, quick-reading compilation of the classic "Yogi-isms". Pepe did a nice job getting them all in one book. Easy reading. I liked the end of the book re-cap where he repeated them all to create a Yogi-isms reference chart! Fun reading especially if you are a Yankees fan.
    An Enjoyable Biography Of Yogi Berra
    It's more of a biography of Yogi than a collection of his famous utterances, although there are plenty of those here. It's a very enjoyable book.
    Witty and Wisdomy
    We lost both Phil Pepe and Yogi Berra in the past year, and we are poorer for it. This isn't the best book about Yogi ever written, but it is quintessential Yogi by a baseball veteran who, like most of us, is clearly a fan.
    What You See is What You Get
    I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Yogi Berra. I recognized his name from my growing up years. The only sports I watched was baseball. It was fun reading about the life of such a legend.

    Publisher's Summary:
    The real story behind a very private American fashion icon - Lilly Pulitzer
    Today, Lilly Pulitzer's iconic brand of clean-cut, vibrantly printed clothes called "Lillys" can be spotted everywhere. What began decades ago as a snob uniform in Palm Beach became a general fashion craze and, later, an American classic. In contrast to the high visibility of her brand, Lilly Pulitzer has largely kept her tumultuous personal story to herself. Bursting forth into glossy fame from a protected low-key world of great wealth and high society - through heartbreaks, treacheries, scandals, and losses - her life, told in detail here for the first time, is every bit as colorful and exciting as her designs.
    Members Reviews:
    Great story, bad narator
    This is a good story. Very interesting bits about historical Palm Beach. Unfortunately, the narrator misprounces many words (and multiple times). I find this very distracting! As the key words were misprounced, it would take me out of the story and distract me. Some examples include: Bouvier (as in Jackie Bouvier Kennedy), designer Lanvin, couture, Bugatti, Mar a Lago, etc.
    In addition, the story is about wealthy, educated people. The narrator sounds like a valley girl, so she doesn't lend herself to enhance the story.
    The author must be cringing ...
    What did you love best about Lilly?
    I found this story of Lilly Pulitzer very interesting, but then this is a topic that I can't get enough of ... biographies of women involved in fashion, design, the arts. But the narration is so amateurish I can hardly believe this person could ever pass an Audible audition. Her mispronunciation of "Bouvier" being one of the most egregious but it goes beyond mispronunciations to tone -- she has no affect. A Metro North conductor announcing station stops has more emotion in his voice. So it is a credit to the author that I have stuck through this disastrous rendering of her story because I am intrigued by the content. And yes I love the context of where Lilly is from, who she's related to, where she grew up, went to school, how she was raised. I am intrigued by Lilly and how she held on to her individual style come hell or high water.
    narration is AWFUL
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
    The narrator sounds like a robot which makes the story very hard to follow. I am just going to read the book.
    Not my style
    I enjoyed learning about Lilly's life but found all the name dropping and "who's who" areas boring and redundant. I wish I learned more about what made Lilly tick vs. who around her had money from what source. The narrator sounded almost fake which made my mind wonder.
    Not what I was expecting
    I didn't really care for the story but could have been the narrator. I LOVE Lilly and was very interested in her story. I found myself not listening many times and I would need to rewind. The narrator sounded almost robotic and did not keep my attention. There were too many side stories about people who somehow are tied into Lilly's life but I couldn't tell you how. Wouldn't recommend listening to this book but reading it yourself may be different.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Revealingly candid, this Hollywood memoir is the story of Jay Bernstein, an entertainment industry fixture who helped launch and sustain the careers of many celebrities including Farrah Fawcett and Suzanne Somers. From his childhood in Oklahoma City and his first job in a Hollywood mail room to the ownership of his own public relations firm and his work as a television producer, Bernsteins life is chronicled in his own words.
    In addition to his rise to greatness, Bernstein also describes the relationships he had with stars and relates the stories behind some of the crazy stunts he pulled to garner attention, such as paying women to throw hotel keys at Tom Jones, having Entertainment Tonight host Mary Harts legs insured for one million dollars, and getting married underwater for an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Written with style and a sense of humor, this autobiography shares the intimate details of Jay Bernsteins fascinating life.

    Very Entertaining
    Would you listen to Starmaker again? Why?
    A few years down the road, perhaps. I generally don't repeat listen to audiobooks. But if I did, this would be one of them.
    What other book might you compare Starmaker to and why?
    You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again...very similar, behind the scenes, warts and all story of Hollywood machinations and manipulations.
    Which character as performed by Arthur Morey was your favorite?
    The only answer I can give for this is Jay Bernstein, the author, as it's told in first-person.
    Any additional comments?
    The narrator is fantastic, save his frequent incorrect pronunciations of well-known pop culture names: Raquel Welch is pronounced Ra-Quell, Jaclyn Smith becomes Jocelyn Smith, Jose Eber becomes Jose Ebber. Aside from that, fantastic job.
    Wonderfully chatty and self effacing
    What made the experience of listening to Starmaker the most enjoyable?
    Loved the honest and gossipy presentation of Jays perspective... The highs and lows and his numerous hiring and firings...
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    Jay Bernstein is doesn't seem to hold much back or pull any punches. He calls it as he sees it, showing himself to be a hero at times and a schmuck at other times. He was a funny guy and an interesting character. Half way through the book, I googled him to see some pictures of him with some of the celebrities he worked with that I wasn't familiar with, since we don't get a photo section with an audible book and was shocked to find out that he had died a number of years ago and the book was released after his death. The book was so chatty and well read, that I felt like I lost a new friend that had been sharing their life stories, victories and embarrassing failures with me.
