MORE OF A PERFORMANCE THAN A STORY!

Any additional comments?

** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **

HILARIOUS!!! This was more of a work of performance art, than a story..so many funny characters and situations revolving around a small town in Utah...and a radio station...super entertaining to listen to! LOVED IT!!!!

Another quirky entertaining performance

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

quirky, entertaining, quirky

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

You're never quite sure what's going to happen in the characters' lives

Any additional comments?

The performances of the narrators make these books as entertaining as they are - the stories are both familiar and completely unfamilar, you can imagine that such crazy adventures could indeed happen...

Jitters

This was ok,not what I expected.Some of it funny,some I just didn't get.Adele Parks and a cast of seven others narrate.

I was given this book free for an honest review

I enjoyed this book

The story kept me coming back for more with this book. As always I want there to be more, but i get that all books have to end. I will definitely look for more by this author!

Innovative and Awesome!

This was an awesome listen!!! I could easily see it on a small stage as a series of monologues. Very clever story telling format.

The book kicks off with a radio broadcast leading into the first character's story. As with monologues there is a lot of extra story that is not really necessary, but very entertaining. The whole story is mostly told through the POV of four women.

Nancy Neptune, shock jock extraordinaire. She is rough and uncouth, but still has a heart of gold underneath. She is voiced by Susan Paige Lane, who lays it on a bit thick with the Jersey accent.

Nadine, who was raised in the small Utah town and is super religious. She is mostly clueless, but has serious growth later on. Paige Allred voices her and manages to make her both annoying and naively endearing.

Sandy, a one armed journalist who stirs things up more than the shock jock! I love her spunk and she was easily a favorite character.

Title: Lost at the Con

Author: Bryan Young

Narrator: Bryan Young

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-04-12

Publisher: ShineBox Media Productions

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

Lost at the Con tells the tale of a drunken political journalist and his dangerous assignment to a science-fiction and fantasy convention. Though he'd rather be at home drinking his liver to death, his spiteful editor delivers an ultimatum: Take the assignment or lose the steady paycheck. Since Cobb can't afford to turn down the job, he heads to Atlanta and dives headfirst into the realm of Griffin*Con, renowned the world over as the Mardis Gras of geek conventions.

There, he finds all of the science-fiction, fantasy, and cosplay he would expect, but he also finds something more sinister: a seedy underbelly of geeky debauchery, slash fiction, booze, sex, and drugs. Can he make it through this assignment without snapping and winding up on the front page himself? Or will the entire experience change him in ways he never imagined possible?

A masterful blend of fictional Gonzo journalism and geek culture that is sure to please audiences inside and outside the geek community.

Members Reviews:

Disappointing

Would you try another book from Bryan Young and/or Bryan Young?

Maybe.

Has Lost at the Con turned you off from other books in this genre?

Nah.

Did Bryan Young do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

That wasnt the problem.

Any additional comments?

I expected a lot more hilarity from the notion of him going to the convention. Not so much.

Then the soul searching did nothing to help make this a humorous book.

fun and poignant

I loved listening to this con story from an outsider point of view and watching the hero find his way through the fan community.

Amazing!

Right from the start Cobb (for god sakes NOT Cob!) is hilarious!!! A great turn around of character and every geek/nerd and non, should read this! By the end the friendship between our main character and a homeless man is beautiful, and wholly believable, even made a tear in my eye! A fantastic writer Mr Young presents this book in a great performance. The end of this book left me wanting more!! What happened next Bryan??!

Title: Loxfinger

Subtitle: An Israel Bond Oy-Oy-7 Adventure, Book 1

Author: Sol Weinstein

Narrator: Dan Bernard

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-30-12

Publisher: Nathaniel Gertler dba About Comics

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

Israel Bond may seem like a simple (if sexy) salesman for Mother Margolies' Old World Chicken Soup, but when the Holy Land needs his skills - his quickness with a pun, his second-to-none semitic seduction techniques, and (if absolutely necessary) his abilities at actual espionage - then the man known by the code name Oy-Oy-7 (licensed not only to kill, but to say prayers over the corpse) is there to do what needs be done.

In a land surrounded by its enemies, Oy-Oy-7 is called on to guard the nation's great benefactor, the generous but odd Lazarus Loxfinger. Is there more to Loxfinger than meets the eye? Bond aims to find out, even if doing so requires sleeping with dozens of exotic beauties!

In the mid-1960s, when Playboy was serializing the adventures of the world's most famous superspy, they interspersed them with the rollicking adventures of Israel's most hilarious weapon, Israel Bond. After the book editions of what the Chicago Tribune called "probably the funniest secret agent parodies ever written" had sold what the publisher claimed was over a million copies (the author suspects they were exaggerating somewhat, with the books totaling six figures in sales but not breaking the million mark), they were allowed to fall out of print. He's back!

Members Reviews:

Neither particularly good or dredfully awful

Honestly, Im not sure why this audio book exists. It is too stupid to actually be offensive, but so stereotyped that it isnt funny. Im not sure what the author was trying to accomplish.

Holds up after all these years

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Weinstein parodies the Bond series of spy thrillers brilliantly. What you would expect to be uninteresting, the repetitive "darkly handsome" epithets and the politically incorrectness of "Levantine" bad guys only get funnier as they are relentlessly dragged out again and again. This is something I had not noticed decades ago when the book came out. Weinstein has made some changes in the text, and as I no longer have a copy of the book, I can't compare. It is now a period piece, capturing a bygone era - the age of bored housewives attending Hadassah meetings, Borscht-Belt hospitality, and unbridled machismo.

Title: Go the F--k to Sleep

Author: Adam Mansbach

Narrator: Thandie Newton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-12-12

Publisher: Canongate Books Ltd

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

Go the F--k to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes dont always send a toddler sailing off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate and refreshingly honest, it captures the familiar and unspoken tribulations of putting your child to bed for the night. Colourfully illustrated and hilariously funny, this is a breath of fresh air for parents new, old and expectant*.

*You should probably not read this to your children.

Members Reviews:

Parenthood summed up in under 5 mins

It is simply the way of things, I have no idea how long we have survived so long as a species- given that, as newborns and infants we willfully refuse to sleep and eat, slowly degrading the sanity and functionality of our primary care givers and guardians. This tragic little tale sums up the bewildering, enraging, exhausting paradox of trying to persuade a small human to sleep as you battle to remain conscious.

Hilarious

Never has the sound of a desperate parent trying to settle their child been so believable.

Possibly the worst waste of 95p

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

how about having the reader further away from the microphone or using a filter so that you can't hear every breath she takes before reading each sentence with about as much feeling and heart as a mannequin

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Thandie Newton?

Someone who doesn't sound like a robot??

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Widerwillig landet Jesus in New York und versucht zunächst erfolglos als Sänger und Gitarrist in einer Rockband Gehör zu finden. Derweil schart er seine ersten Jünger um sich - Drogenabhängige, Gescheiterte, Obdachlose, denen er zu helfen versucht. Als seine Mission, die Massen zu erreichen, zu scheitern droht, greift er zum letzten Mittel: Er nimmt an einer Castingshow teil. Damit beginnt eine denkwürdige Odyssee quer durch Amerika.

Kritik Bewertungen:

Das Buch steckt voller böser, sehr lustiger Ideen, es ist blasphemisch, schamlos, und es entlarvt mit seiner neuen Passionsgeschichte falsche Propheten, Doppelmoral und Kapitalismus.

Mitglieder Bewertungen:

Sei lieb...Be nice...

Nun, das ist mal ein Buch wo man herzlich lachen kann.

Ich nehme aber auch an, dass sich viele ignorante Leute ueber dieses Buch beschweren werden.

Fuer diejenigen die weltoffen (oder "himmeloffen") sind....go for it!

Habe nur ein Problem mit diesem Buch, und ich wuenschte, ich haette deswegen die englische version gekauft. Die Uebersetzung fuer die englischen und amerikanischen Schimpfwoerter und auch andere Woerter schreien einfach zum Himmel. Die machen so keinen Sinn, ich habe die dann halt schnell im Kopf uebersetzt, damit man auch versteht und das es auch lustig bleibt.

So fuer alle, die englisch lesen koennen, wuerde ich die englische version vorschlagen ( "The second coming" ).

Title: The Pig Did It

Author: Joseph Caldwell

Narrator: Chris Patton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-09-11

Publisher: HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 19 votes

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

A pig escapes from its pen and roots up the garden of Kitty McCloud, a best-selling novelist who "corrects" the classics. What the obstreperous little pig unearths is evidence of a possible transgression that the novel's three Irish characters - the plagiarizing Kitty, her blood-feud rival Kieran, and a sexy swineherd named Lolly - are convinced the other has probably benefited from.

How this hilarious mystery is resolved inspires both comic eloquence and a theatrically colorful canvas depicting the brooding Irish land and seascape.

Critic Reviews:

"The macabre comedy plays out in sparkling dialogue, including some hilarious speeches that are both incantations of Irish mythology and masterful bits of parody.... [Caldwell's] perfect ear for the non sequiturs of real conversation is a constant delight." (Washington Post)

"Puts farcical doings into lilting language and provides a payoff that is as unexpected as it is satisfying." (Publishers Weekly)

"Irish to the core, [Caldwell's trilogy] speaks to all of humanity... with a heart as wide as an Irish smile and a drollness that would be welcome in many a pub." (Richmond Times-Dispatch)

Delightful Series

Would you listen to Rude Awakening again? Why?

Yes, and the whole series. Entertaining and fun.

What does Tom Stechschulte bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

You read more intellectually. You listen more emotionally. Both are good entertainment and wonderful. But the entertainment value is fantastic with this series, and Tom does a great job.

If you could take any character from Rude Awakening out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Tom the narrator! ha

great

I really enjoy this series. I could list Tom Stechschulte read anything!!! Susan Cooper's stories and the way she tells them keeps me listening.
