Listening to this book reminded me of why I stopped watching "Thirty Rock" - parts were really funny, others were just plain weird. Don't get me wrong - I love Tine Fey. It's just that some of her anecdotes are, to be honest, dumb. There are some funny parts, (I think the second half of the book is much better than the first), but her mind just goes places that mine does not!

I know that from a politically correct standpoint, I should praise this Holocaust survival memoir. It just isn't as good as others I have read, so for me it was just OK. The author's notes at the end were actually the most interesting part of the whole book.

This was a light hearted, funny book that I really enjoyed. The narrator must do stand up herself, because her comedic timing was spot on. And Audible, if you're reading this - I would like to somehow mark this author - so when she writes more, I will remember how much I enjoyed this book. (Just a suggestion!)

I had heard about this book but was a little hesitant since it was translated from another language; I wondered if anything would be "lost in translation". Not at all. It's a different, (and a bit disturbing) look at just how far parents will go these days to protect their children. The book rambles a bit in the middle, but overall it is well written. And Clive Mantle NAILS it as the narrator - he is a 10!

If you have an interest in health and how food plays such a part in your overall wellness, then I would recommend this book. It's along the lines of others such as "Fast Food Nation", "Supersize Me", and Michael Pollan's books. I found it enlightening, but you have to be interested in the topic; alot of my friends and family prefer to be left in the dark when it comes to the food they prefer.

I liked the book, more for the parts involving the dog than the cop. Decent narration, too.

I grew up as a shy child, and remain a somwhat introverted adult. This book has some amazing insights, and I wish more people would take an opportunity to give it a listen. I really enjoyed it.

I always try to finish what I start; I've suffered through many books that were just OK. After eight (yes eight) hours with this, I had to give up. It is just so dull that I just couldn't bear the thought of another seventeen (yes, seventeen) hours more. Audible, if you are reading this, how about a "mercy credit" for effort?

What a great listen. This is the kind of book that just keeps drawing you further and further in to the story, while finishing with a completely unexpected ending. I really enjoyed it. My only complaint is with part of the narration - for some reason the narrator feels the need to give one of the main characters an Irish accent (for the life of me I don't know why). It's completely unexpected when she first does it, and she continues doing so throughout the book. If you can overlook this, it's a great story.

I had heard alot about this book, so I thought I might pick up some great tips for traveling. Turns out, it's just a ho hum tell-all written by a whiny ex hotel worker. His big insight? Tip well. Gee, thanks!
