    Once in a generation a woman comes along who changes everything. Tina Fey is not that woman, but she met that woman once and acted weird around her.

    Before 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and 'Sarah Palin', Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true.

    Would you listen to Bossypants again? Why?

    Yes, there were plenty of KILLER lines and quips


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Bossypants?

    I very much enjoyed Tina's description of her childhood and her father.


    Have you listened to any of Tina Fey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    nope.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    I could have...


    Any additional comments?

    Although it was very entertaining I felt I didn't really learn anything terribly deep about Tina, and I wanted to.

    Robert Kiyosaki has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people around the world think about money. With perspectives that often contradict conventional wisdom, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence and courage. He is regarded worldwide as a passionate advocate for financial education. According to Kiyosaki, "The main reason people struggle financially is because they have spent years in school but learned nothing about money."

    Where does Rich Dad Poor Dad rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    The performance is poor but there are little gems in the content that are useful, it did change the way I thought about investments


    Would you be willing to try another book from Robert T. Kiyosaki? Why or why not?

    Maybe if it was read by someone else!


    Would you be willing to try another one of Tim Wheeler’s performances?

    er, no, I think that's obvious.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Times have changed and the economic environment is quite different to when this was written however
    I think with all these kind of self help books you take what you need. There are gems in this, and those made it all worthwhile.

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Sisters Brothers to be better than the print version?

    It's on par, I would say.


    What did you like best about this story?

    It's a gripping, stylish, fabulously told tale. I found it intelligent and exciting. The narration I thought was perfect.


    Have you listened to any of William Hope’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    no, I have not.


    If you could take any character from The Sisters Brothers out to dinner, who would it be and why?

    I would take out Eli.


    Any additional comments?

    I found the narration addictive and started to think like the characters in the tale.
