Story4.5 out of 5 stars 474
Eddie Huang was finally happy. Sort of. He'd written a best-selling book and was the star of a TV show that took him to far-flung places around the globe. His New York City restaurant was humming, his OKCupid hand was strong, and he'd even hung fresh Ralph Lauren curtains to create the illusion of a bedroom in the tiny apartment he shared with his younger brother, Evan, who ran their restaurant business. Then he fell in love - and everything fell apart.

Eddie Huang is the 30-year-old proprietor of Baohaus - the hot East Village hangout where foodies, stoners, and students come to stuff their faces with delicious Taiwanese street food late into the night - and one of the food world’s brightest and most controversial young stars. But before he created the perfect home for himself in a small patch of downtown New York, Eddie wandered the American wilderness looking for a place to call his own. Funny, raw, and moving, and told in an irrepressibly alive and original voice, Fresh Off the Boat recasts the immigrant’s story for the 21st century.

There were many reasons Moby was never going to make it as a DJ and musician in the New York club scene. This was the New York of Palladium; of Mars, Limelight, and Twilo; of unchecked, drug-fueled hedonism in pumping clubs where dance music was still largely underground, popular chiefly among working-class African Americans and Latinos. And then there was Moby - not just a poor, skinny white kid from Connecticut but a devout Christian, a vegan, and a teetotaler.

Everyone knows Jackie Chan. Whether it’s from Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon, The Karate Kid, or Kung Fu Panda, Jackie is admired by generations of moviegoers for his acrobatic fighting style, comic timing, and mind-bending stunts. In Never Grow Up, the global superstar reflects on his early life, including his childhood years at the China Drama Academy (in which he was enrolled at the age of six), his big breaks (and setbacks) in Hong Kong and Hollywood, his numerous brushes with death (both on and off film sets), and his life as a husband and father.

At some point every one of us embarks on a journey to find love. We meet people, date, get into and out of relationships, all with the hope of finding someone with whom we share a deep connection. This seems standard now, but it's wildly different from what people did even just decades ago. Single people today have more romantic options than at any point in human history.

The shift toward automation is about to create a tsunami of unemployment. Not in the distant future - now. One recent estimate predicts 13 million American workers will lose their jobs within the next seven years - jobs that won't be replaced. In a future marked by restlessness and chronic unemployment, what will happen to American society? In The War on Normal People, Andrew Yang paints a dire portrait of the American economy. Rapidly advancing technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation software are making millions of Americans' livelihoods irrelevant.

Well, it wasn’t what I expected
For some reason, I was thinking this was going to be less slang-ridden. I mean, he has a similar style in prose to some famous US writers, but the story was a bit too dependent on texting technology to be easily comprehended via Audible. I think I’d enjoy this better as a document.
The author’s performance did not help that sense. Unfortunately, Huang’s reading was too fast to appreciate the nuances. I thought about slowing it down from 1x to .75x just to see if it helped me enjoy it? Either way, I wish he had slowed down and given more significant pauses so the continuation didn’t just jam into each other but gave enough room to really audibly hear he had moved to the next section.
The story was okay. I appreciated his apprehension regarding love and—oddly—the bit about performance anxiety when it really mattered was reasonable. But—again—it was rather entrenched in pop-vernacular and I wasn’t into it. I probably just need to re-read this on paper to better enjoy it.

Unique, Engaging, and Insightful
Listened to it back to back on my drive back from Los Angeles as the school year ended. Read it again couple days later. Eddie has a unique voice and perspective yet speaks on the emotions and vulnerability that we all feel one way or another. A great addition to his previous longer works.

Why do I feel like I just listened to a new age rom com?
Listening to this was a surprisingly refreshing funny little journey. I bought this because it was short and the title made me smile and it was exactly that.
A wonderfully succinct telling of a ‘how it happened love story’ that evokes all the same feelings as any rom com. I wanted to be Julie and I wanted to be Eddie but I got the best seat in the house as the friend sipping all the tea with none of the anxiety lol.

Surprisingly touching
Eddie is great. The story is great. Listen to it and be moved. I'm inspired to write my own love story, record it and get someone to sell it for me - I'm that inspired by Eddie. And you can virtually stalk the two protagonists on Instagram. On second thoughts, maybe I won't write, record and sell my own love story
