Coffee at Luke's

An Unauthorized Gilmore Girls Gabfest

De: Jennifer Crusie, Leah Wilson

Narrado por: Colby Elliott

Audie Finalist

In the fall of 2000, Gilmore Girls premiered on the WB, and viewers were introduced to the quirky world of Stars Hollow and the Gilmores who had made it their home, mother-daughter best friends Lorelai and Rory. Coffee at Luke's is the perfect look at what made the show such a clever, beloved part of the television landscape for so long.

What are the risks of having your mother be your best friend? How is Gilmore Girls antifamily, at least in the traditional sense? What's a male viewer to do when he finds both mother and daughter attractive? And how is creator Amy Sherman-Palladino like Emily Gilmore?

From the show's class consciousness to the way the characters are shaped by the books they read, the music they listen to, and the movies they watch, Coffee at Luke's looks at the sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking underpinnings of smart viewers' Tuesday night television staple and takes them further into Stars Hollow than they've ever been before.

Loved the interesting narrative and finished it in 5 days. I will recommend to read on Gilmore Girls fans.

Great analysis of the series!

I am very particular about narrators. This narrator spoke at a good pace and was easy to understand.

I loved the concept of the book. Each essay had a unique analysis of a distinct aspect of the show. it was an enjoyable listen.

A must listen for every Gilmore Girls fan

Would you consider the audio edition of Coffee at Luke's to be better than the print version?

Yes

What about Colby Elliott’s performance did you like?

Colby Elliott sounds as if he is a true fan, not just the guy reading the book.

Informative for huge Gilmore fans

I enjoyed hearing about behind the scenes facts and opinions. It really gives you a perspective of what it would be like to have lived in Stars Hollow. Also explored characters in detail by their background, principles, family history, and internal values, situations, and good/bad perspective and intentions. You will view some characters differently.

Gilmore Girl Lovers will love this Book!

I loved hearing all the different opinions about my beloved Gilmore Girls and the series. Even after A Year in the Life was released. I wasn't a big fan of the performance because it was a male voice, but it did entertain me a little. And I found it ironic as well, just as many of the points were made throughout the book about Gilmore Girls. I would listen to it again.
