Publisher's Summary:

'The true inspiration was that Olympic gold won by Chris Boardman in Barcelona.... I was so in awe of Chris Boardman.' (Sir Bradley Wiggins)

You may know him as the much-loved copresenter of ITV's Tour de France coverage or enjoyed his BBC Olympic coverage, but beyond the easy charm Chris Boardman is one of our greatest, most inspiring cyclists.

In 2001, when the bible of the sport, Cycling Weekly, ran a poll to decide the greatest British cyclist, his was the name that topped the list. It was Boardman's lone achievements in the '80s and '90s - Olympic track gold, the world hour record, repeatedly claiming the yellow jersey in the Tour de France - that lit the spark for modern British cycling.

His endeavours both on and off the bike have made him the founding father of current golden generation - without him there would simply be no Hoy, Wiggins or Cavendish. It is a story full of intrigue from Olympic success, the famous duels with Graeme Obree, the insanity of the Tour de France. Chris became a legend for his combination of physical ability and technical preparation, and he almost single-handedly took British cycling from wool shirts and cloth caps into the era of marginal gains.

Indeed, after his career on the bike ended, a new chapter began as the backroom genius behind GB cycling. As head of the R&D team known as The Secret Squirrel Club, he has been responsible for the technical innovations that made the difference in 2012. Boardman Bikes is the best-selling premium bike range in the country, as used by the Brownlee brothers for their Olympic triathlon success.

Members Reviews:

More than a story of biking accomplishments.

I wont lie; I purchased this book primarily because I recently bought a Boardman bike and wanted to know more about the namesake. As an American I wasnt familiar with the notoriety of Chris Boardman and was fully expecting this to be a mere inventory of his rise to fame and sequence of successful accomplishments. Instead, I found myself drawn into the history and science of the sport and the almost accidental psychology of a competitor. Chris does a nice job of revealing the moments in life where he is a son, father, husband, athlete, Olympian, and national hero but generally he reveals that among all of these titles, hes human. An average guy with an unlikely journey and even more surprising set of accomplishments. As a father, I can admit that the epilogue (where he reasons the omission of details regarding his kids) was both touching and reasoned...an impressive end to reinforcing the notion that while hes accomplished extraordinary things hes an ordinary person with whom I can identify. Glad I bought the bike.

Chris Boardman.

What an absolutely amazing book. Fantastically addictive saw this complete in only two sessions of listening. What an amazing life and wife to assist and help make your dreams reality.

Honest, entertaining, and funny

A great insight into one of British cycling's biggest legends. Well written and read, a must read for any cyclist.

Fascinating story

As a cycling fan and tech fan this was my perfect story. A real insight to Chris's psyche.

Publisher's Summary:

This is a summary of Shonda Rhimes' Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand in the Sun and Be Your Own Person.

In this poignant, hilarious, and deeply intimate call to arms, Hollywood's most powerful woman, the megatalented creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder, reveals how saying yes changed her life - and how it can change yours, too.

With three hit shows on television and three children at home, Shonda Rhimes had lots of good reasons to say no when invitations arrived. Hollywood party? No. Speaking engagement? No. Media appearances? No. And to an introvert like Shonda, who describes herself as "hugging the walls" at social events and experiencing panic attacks before press interviews, there was a particular benefit to saying no: nothing new to fear. Then came Thanksgiving 2013, when Shonda's sister, Delorse, muttered six little words at her: "You never say yes to anything."

Profound, impassioned, and laugh-out-loud funny, in Year of Yes Shonda Rhimes reveals how saying yes changed - and saved - her life and inspires listeners everywhere to change their own lives with one little word: yes.

This summary is aimed at those who want to capture the gist of the book but don't have the time to listen to the whole thing. You get the main summary along with all of the benefits and lessons the actual book has to offer.

Ant Hive Media reads every chapter, extracts the understanding, and leaves you with a new perspective and time to spare. We do the work so you can understand the book in minutes, not hours.

Title: Jimmy Butler: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Best All-Around Shooting Guards

Publisher's Summary:

Learn the Incredible Story of the Chicago Bulls' Basketball Superstar Jimmy Butler!

In Jimmy Butler: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Best All-Around Shooting Guards, you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's premier shooting guards, Jimmy Butler. Since quickly emerging as one of the key leaders of the Chicago Bulls franchise, Jimmy Butler has established himself as one of the best two-way players to play in today's game. While Derrick Rose was the leader of the Chicago Bulls for the first few years of Butler's career, it could be argued that Butler has since become the main leader of the Bulls when Rose unfortunately came down with a series of tough injuries.

Once overlooked in the NBA Draft, as Butler was drafted with the 30th overall pick in 2011, Butler has proven all the scouts wrong on their initial assessments of his abilities, as Butler had demonstrated a high degree of athleticism, basketball intelligence, and influence over games. It will be interesting to watch as Jimmy Butler continues to develop his basketball career, what accomplishments he will be able to achieve.

Here is a preview of what is inside this book:

Members Reviews:

Very detailed account of Jimmy Butler's life

I was very pleased with this book. I'm a die-hard Chicago sports fan and enjoy learning more about my favorite players. This book is VERY detailed and chronicles Jimmy's professional progression from High School to the pros with just the right amount of background info to keep the story in proper context.

Outside of a few players names being mispronounced (Paul Gasol comes to mind), the narration was very good and fit well with this sports based audio. Overall a very pleasant and informative experience!

I was provided this audiobook at no charge in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

Good Storyteller, Needs more Story

Any additional comments?

As a Bulls Fan, I was curious about one of the star players. While this book provided a cursory review of Butlers life and his difficult childhood, I was left wanting more. The writing felt clipped and overly simple, but that may be for children to also read the story. Otherwise, I enjoyed the narration and I will keep a look out for an update on this book since Butler will undoubtedly continue being one of the greatest NBA players.

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

From her first appearances on the stage and screen, Maureen O'Hara (b. 1920) commanded attention with her striking beauty, radiant red hair, and impassioned portrayals of spirited heroines. Whether she was being rescued from the gallows by Charles Laughton (The Hunchback of Notre Dame, 1939), falling in love with Walter Pidgeon against a coal-blackened sky (How Green Was My Valley, 1941), learning to believe in miracles with Natalie Wood (Miracle on 34th Street, 1947), or matching wits with John Wayne (The Quiet Man, 1952), she charmed audiences with her powerful presence and easy confidence.

Maureen O'Hara is the first book-length biography of the screen legend hailed as the "Queen of Technicolor". Following the star from her childhood in Dublin to the height of fame in Hollywood, film critic Aubrey Malone draws on new information from the Irish Film Institute, production notes from films, and details from historical film journals, newspapers, and fan magazines. This breakthrough biography offers the first look at the woman behind the larger-than-life persona, sorting through the myths to present a balanced assessment of one of the greatest stars of the silver screen.

The book is published by The University Press of Kentucky.

Critic Reviews:

"Maureen O'Hara is a significant contribution to scholars in the field and to readers for its broad scope, rich movie lore and enlightening information about O'Hara, the woman and the actress, whose career spanned a vital period in American film history." (Mollie Gregory, author of Women Who Run the Show: How a Brilliant and Creative New Generation of Women Stormed Hollywood)

"Maureen O'Hara: The Biography is wonderful." (Journeys in Classic Film)

"The writing style is outstanding and immensely captures a reader's attention." (The Southeastern Librarian)

Members Reviews:

A disappointment

While the content of this biography was average, the readers tone and style were disappointing.

Title: Maggie Smith

Subtitle: A Biography

Author: Michael Coveney

Narrator: Sian Thomas

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-29-15

Publisher: Macmillan Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 70 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

No one does glamour, severity, girlish charm, or tight-lipped witticism better than Dame Maggie Smith. Michael Coveney's biography shines a light on the life and career of a truly remarkable performer, one whose stage and screen career spans six decades. From her days as a West End star of comedy and revue, Dame Maggie's path would cross with those of the greatest actors, playwrights, and directors of the era. Whether stealing scenes from Richard Burton, answering back to Laurence Olivier, or playing opposite Judi Dench in Breath of Life, her career can be seen as a "who's who" of British theater.

Her film and television career are just as starry. From the title character in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and the meddling chaperone in A Room with a View to the Harry Potter films, in which she played Minerva McGonagall (as she put it, "Miss Jean Brodie in a wizard's hat"), and the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel films, in which she played the wise Muriel Donnelly, Smith has thrilled, engaged, and made audiences laugh. As Violet Crawley, the formidable dowager countess of Downton Abbey, she conquered millions more. Paradoxically she remains an enigmatic figure, rarely appearing in public.

Michael Coveney's absorbing biography, written with the actress' blessing and drawing on personal archives as well as interviews with immediate family and close friends, is a portrait of one of the greatest actors of our time.

Members Reviews:

Steeped in Theater History

Apparently Smith authorized the biography but gave Coveney very few interviews but did allow him access to family, friends and colleagues. Smith appears to be very reclusive. There is not much information on Smiths private life; the book is all about her professional life.

Smith was born in 1934 to a working class family. Her mother told her she would never become an actress with a face like that She was in plays in high school and in her late teens started to work in the repertory English theater. The author compares and discusses what he calls the three greatest English actresses of the generation: Vanessa Redgrave, Maggie Smith and Judi Dench. Coveney discuss their different styles and the plays, movies etc., they have played together in. The last part of the book covers her roles in the Harry Potter films and Downton Abbey.

I rarely read biographies of actors so I have little to compare this too. But I felt Coveney just gave boilerplate descriptions of her various roles and failed to dig into her private life. I do realize Smith is reclusive and very private but I feel a good biographer overcomes that problem and digs deep into the subjects life. I felt the author should have done a better job with this biography. Sian Thomas did an excellent job narrating the story.

Love letter from a fan

What disappointed you about Maggie Smith?

Nothing about Maggie Smith disappointed me. She never fails to be a wonderful performer.

What could Michael Coveney have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Drool less!! this is a book full of adulation from a lovesick fan.

Title: Spectacles

Author: Sue Perkins

Narrator: Sue Perkins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-17-15

Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 17 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Spectacles, the hilarious, creative and incredibly moving memoir from much loved comedian, writer and presenter Sue Perkins.

When I began writing this book, I went home to see if my mum had kept some of my stuff. What I found was that she hadn't kept some of it. She had kept all of it - every bus ticket, postcard, school report - from the moment I was born to the moment I finally had the confidence to turn round and say, 'Why is our house full of this s--t?'

Sadly, a recycling incident destroyed the bulk of this archive. This has meant two things: firstly, dear listener, you will never get to see countless drawings of wizards, read a poem about corn on the cob, or marvel at the kilos of brown flowers I so lovingly pressed as a child.

Secondly, it's left me with no choice but to actually write this thing myself.

This, my first ever title, will answer questions such as: is Mary Berry real? Is it true you wear a surgical truss, and is a nonspherically symmetric gravitational pull from outside the observable universe responsible for some of the observed motion of large objects such as galactic clusters in the universe?

Most of this audiobook is true. I have, of course, amplified my more positive characteristics in an effort to make you like me. Thank you for listening.

What's not to love?

Any additional comments?

Sue Perkins is one of my favourite celebrities. She comes across as intelligent, funny, kind and like someone who has endless fascinating stories to share. Im not usually interested in celebrity memoirs or autobiographies but was sold on the audiobook version of this with it being narrated by Sue Perkins herself.

Sues narration brings this audiobook to life. Listening to her stories is like going to the pub with an old friend for a catch up. I listened to this audiobook whilst doing chores and getting ready in the mornings and it made those mundane tasks so much more bearable. Not many people can make me laugh out loud at 7am on a Monday morning but Sue Perkins did. Not many people can make me cry whilst putting my mascara on but Sue Perkins did.

This book covers cake, travel, dogs, lesbianism, comedy, friendship, family and feminism all delivered in Sue's trademark humorous, warm and intelligent narrative. What's not to love?

I loved this book

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book - it was a bit of a chance download,not being in the realms of my usual choice of listening, but I have to say how much I liked it. It is narrated by Sue herself (very well). I usually go to sleep listening to my audiobooks but I had to turn this one off to get some! She has such a great way with words and comes across as witty, clever, humble, thoughtful, honest and fallible. Only trouble is, it made me feel like I wanted her to be my friend! (oh dear that sounds sad). I don't usually write reviews, but had to say how much I loved this particular one.

Made me laugh and cry out loud

If you could sum up Spectacles in three words, what would they be?

So funny

And cleverly put together ..

Title: The Life and Times of Mickey Rooney

Author: William J. Birnes, Richard A. Lertzman

Narrator: Pete Cross

Format: Unabridged

Length: 18 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-10-15

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 66 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Mickey Rooney began his career almost a century ago as a one-year-old performer in burlesque and stamped his mark in vaudeville, silent and talking films, Broadway, and television. He acted in his final motion picture just weeks before he died at age 93. He was an iconic presence in movies and the poster boy for American youth. Yet by World War II, Mickey Rooney had become frozen in time. His child-star status haunted him as the gilded safety net of Hollywood fell away, and he was forced to find support anywhere he could, including multiple marriages, affairs, alcohol, and drugs. This Old Hollywood biography presents Mickey Rooney from every angle, revealing the man Laurence Olivier once dubbed the best there has ever been.

Members Reviews:

Very enlightening

What did you love best about The Life and Times of Mickey Rooney?

Lots of details both positive and negative about Mr. Rooney.

What did you like best about this story?

The unbiased information and details of his life.

Have you listened to any of Pete Crosss other performances before? How does this one compare?

Excellent presentation.

Any additional comments?

Highly recommend to anyone interested in seeing Hollywoods early days through the eyes of this man as a youth and adult.

Entertaining and enlightening.

Captures the essence of the greatest talent in Hollywood history. Details the professional success and personal foibles that repeatedly derailed his life. No matter, the cliche "the show must go on" really meant something.

Wow

Very interesting with lots of film history. Did not know it would be rated PG-13 to R though. Lots of detail into his life (some TMI) and lots of dropping the F bomb. If you want to keep the fantasy of Andy Hardy don't read this book. If you want a truthful look at who Mickey Rooney was then this is the book to do it. The rose colored glasses come off with this telling of the film legend's life. Very well written.

Complicated personal life amazing professional lif

This book covers the waterfront. Lots of scandals, but they are put in context of his life. Mickey did what he wanted; and he was a highly respected performer. Apparently, Mickey could be crude. The writing is ok; needs better editing; some passages are repeated, which was disconcerting. I liked learning about Mickey Rooney's life and struggles. And was astonished to find out what high regard his talent inspired.

Story teller

Pete Cross is my favorite Narrator so far this was a beautiful story told very well.

Title: Young Elizabeth

Subtitle: The Making of the Queen

Author: Kate Williams

Narrator: Kate Williams

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-15-15

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 32 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

We can hardly imagine a Britain without Elizabeth II on the throne. It seems to be the job she was born for. And yet for much of her early life, the young princess did not know the role that her future would hold. She was our accidental queen.

Elizabeth's determination to share in the struggles of her people marked her out from a young age. Her father initially refused to let her volunteer as a nurse during the Blitz but relented when she was 18, allowing her to work as a mechanic and truck driver for the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service. It was her forward-thinking approach that ensured that her coronation was televised, against the advice of politicians at the time.

In Young Elizabeth, Kate Williams reveals how the 25-year-old young queen carved out a lasting role for herself amid the changes of the 20th century. Her monarchy would be a very different one from that of her parents and grandparents, and its continuing popularity in the 21st century owes much to the intelligence and elusive personality of this remarkable woman.

Critic Reviews:

"The author's research is all-encompassing...." (

Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Interesting

This book was written for the Queens Jubilee in 2012. It is not an official biography and the Queen was not interviewed for the book. It just presents known information about the Queen.

The Queen was born in 1926 and was never expected to be Queen until the 1936 abdication of her uncle King Edward VIII. Edwards younger brother and Elizabeths father became King. She then started her training to become the monarch. She drove ambulances during World War II. She became Queen in 1952. The book concludes with Elizabeth becoming Queen. The Queen is a suburb horsewoman as is Princess Anne who was the first Royal to compete in the Olympics in 1976. HRH Annes daughter Zara Phillips competed in the Olympics in 2012; all three women have won many medals in equestrian competitions.

The book is well written and researched. It provides an overview of the life of the Queen. Williams writes in a light easy to read manner with humor and gossip. There is no new information; Williams presents the official information but her easy to read style makes it enjoyable. Williams has written a biography of Queen Victoria. Kate Williams narrated her own book.

Interesting

Williams' reading is engaging. The text gives insight into previously unknown excerpts of the Princesses lives, humanely and with consideration to their status and royal demands and expectations.

Excellent recapturing of History.

It was delightful to learn about Debbie Reynolds' life. It brought back fond memories of Hollywood for my elderly mother.

Missing something

It's just not engaging stories ...what's the point Debbie? Listen to her brilliant memoirs instead.

Great

Title: Big Sam

Subtitle: My Autobiography

Author: Sam Allardyce

Narrator: Jonathan Keeble, Colleen Prendergast

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-05-15

Publisher: Headline Digital

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 20 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Football fans will love this insight into the life and mind of the new Everton manager, Big Sam. With nearly 20 years as a player - plus almost 25 years as a coach and manager - under his belt, Sam Allardyce is one of the most recognisable figures in British football.

'Big Sam' has been a robust defensive general throughout the 70s and 80s, and an imposing touchline presence as a gaffer since 1994. Before taking the England job in July 2016, he was the second longest-serving manager in the Premier League behind Arsene Wenger.

Over the last 42 years, Allardyce has seen it all. The game he so loves is radically different to that in which he made his debut back in 1973, and in telling his wonderfully colourful story for the very first time, Allardyce talks intriguingly about the changing face of players and managers. His autobiography positively crackles with characteristic insight, honesty and hard-hitting opinions.

Members Reviews:

Great character. Open and Honest Biography

Firstly, I assume that you are interested in English football (soccer) to get so far as to read this review. If you are not interested in football, this book most likely won't be for you, even though Sam is a really interesting character.. Me, I love football, and I loved this book.

This audiobook lasts for over 10 hours, but it felt like no time at all. I loved listening to this. There are...

- Some great insights into his playing days. Wow, how the world has changed so quickly from his days as a player

- Stories from his roller coaster life of difficult and good times

- A few moments of laughter from some funny little stories from the training field and dressing room. I'm sure there must be hundreds more though.

- Honest opinions on other managers and characters from the world of football

- His opinions on the way the game is developing.

- Open details of his personal and family life.

I can understand why he has been a successful manager. Sam is simply a great character and he communicates in a straight forward no nonsense way, and I liked that in this book.

Just a word of warning. There is some use of strong language used in this book, as the stories from the dressing room and contract negotiations etc. get told.

The book tells the story up to the end of his West Ham days. I'm already looking forward to a Part 2 that tells of him coming out of retirement to save Sunderland from relegation and of course...he is manager of England now!

Masterful tactician

Sam was and still is a brilliant manger and for those of you who think likewise should read this book and allow Allardyce to explain how he's not a long ball coach. He uses his players strengths and exploits his opponents weaknesses as a great tactician would. Throughly love this book and highly recommend it!

great listen and narration

great narration, understanding of the speach and context of European football. enlightening to listen. thanks

Bad voice

Good book and well written

Shame about the annoying voice who's attempt at a Sam pseudo Black Country accent was incredibly annoying

Fascinating insight into the game.

Some really interesting experiences shared by Sam. Comes across as down to earth with a no nonsense approach to the game and life.
