Legendary magician Penn Jillette was approaching his 60th birthday. Topping 330 pounds and saddled with a systolic blood pressure reading over 200, he knew he was at a dangerous crossroads: If he wanted to see his small children grow up, he needed to change. And then came Crazy Ray. A former NASA scientist and an unconventional, passionate innovator, Ray Cronise saved Jillette's life with his wild "potato diet". Outspoken, frank, and bitingly clever, Presto is an incisive, rollicking listen.

A liberal society stands on the proposition that we should all take seriously the idea that we might be wrong. This means we must place no one, including ourselves, beyond the reach of criticism; it means that we must allow people to err, even where the error offends and upsets, as it often will." So writes Jonathan Rauch in Kindly Inquisitors, which has challenged listeners for more than 20 years with its bracing and provocative exploration of the issues surrounding attempts to limit free speech.

In Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and "roads" scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets.

From the larger, louder half of the world-famous magic duo Penn & Teller comes a scathingly funny reinterpretation of The Ten Commandments. They are The Penn Commandments, and they reveal one outrageous and opinionated atheist’s experience in the world.

Some great advice mixed with mediocre suggestions

I believe the author of the book means well and tries very hard to provide the reader (listener) with helpful advice about schmoozing. In my opinion, he hits the nail on the head with basic rules and ideas about how to treat others and approach people and situations. However, some of the suggestions come across as almost a little too corny to be applied practically.
The author was quite thorough in bringing attention to the many situations that could benefit from a little proper schmoozing. These situations are not limited to networking and business opportunities, but also include family life, kids, teens, friends and ways to handle situations with these people whether they are positive or negative. Though, I just can't stress how corny some of his detailed suggestions may be. If you are quite cynical, getting through certain parts of this book may prove to be difficult, but that does not mean that it might not be helpful. The ideas may prove to be more enriching than you expected.
Considering the book is only 3 hours, it's worth a quick listen if you're in between books and think you might be willing enough or able to learn some things about the "art of schmoozing". Overall, I would give the book a 2.5 star rating if I could. Taking the reading of Penn Jilette into consideration though, a 3 seems fair. I can say with confidence that I wouldn't have enjoyed this book as much had it not been read by a friendly and familiar voice such as Penn's.
