Story
Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson ( Pulp Fiction) rocks this mock bedtime story, capturing a hilarious range of emotions as the voice of a father struggling to get his child to sleep. Go the F**k to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland.

Story
Whose Boat Is This Boat? Comments That Don’t Help in the Aftermath of a Hurricane is made entirely of quotations from President Donald Trump in the wake of Hurricane Florence. It is the first children's book that demonstrates what not to say after a natural disaster. On September 19, 2018, Donald Trump paid a visit to New Bern, North Carolina, one of the towns ravaged by Hurricane Florence. It was there he showed deep concern for a boat that washed ashore. "At least you got a nice boat out of the deal," said President Trump to hurricane victims.

Bello, subversivo - y para mearse - ¡Duérmete, carajo! es un libro para padres experimentados, nuevos e incipientes. (Y probablemente es mejor no leérselo a los pequeños….)

Story
Bryan Cranston landed his first role at seven, when his father, a struggling actor and director, cast him in a United Way commercial. Soon Bryan was haunting the local movie theater, memorizing and reenacting favorite scenes with his older brother. Acting was clearly the boy's destiny - until one day his father disappeared. Suddenly destiny took a backseat to survival. Seeking something more stable, perhaps subconsciously trying to distance himself from his absent father, Cranston decided on a career in law enforcement.

Publisher's Summary
Emmy Award-winning actor Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad, Malcom in the Middle) follows in the exasperated footsteps of Samuel L. Jackson, giving voice to the long-suffering father whose indifferent child will just not eat in this hilarious follow-up to Adam Mansbach's international best seller, Go the F--k to Sleep.
Mansbach's long-awaited sequel is about that other great parental frustration: getting your little angel to eat something that even vaguely resembles a normal meal. Profane, loving, and deeply cathartic, You Have to F--king Eat breaks the code of child-rearing silence, giving moms and dads (new, old, grand-, and expectant) a much-needed chance to laugh about a universal problem.
Anchored by a hilarious performance from Cranston, You Have to F--king Eat is the perfect blend of talented voice actor and subversive fun that expertly captures Mansbach’s trademark humor. Due to its explicit language, you probably shouldn't play this one for your kids.

Bryan Cranston as the aggravated parent is spot on.

What made the experience of listening to Free: You Have to F--king Eat the most enjoyable?
I think having experienced the same emotions as the father in the story it just made things more hilarious.
Have you listened to any of Bryan Cranston’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Bryan Cranston is a great talent. Not only can he do comedy well, but drama perfectly also. His range is phenomenal and he was a great choice for this title.
Any additional comments?
I had downloaded Go the F**K to Sleep when it was offered previously and enjoyed it. I think it's a great opportunity for Audible to get new members by offering free access to books.

Worth it, but then again it was free..
This is basically a follow up to the go to sleep book narrarated by Samuel L. Jackson. This one is exactly like the first book. It is funny, but the shock is over. It is saved by having it read by Bryan Cranston. If the author does another book maybe they could get James Earl Jones to read it. It was free which is good because I would not pay for a 4 minute novelty book. This one is still free so give it a go, otherwise save your money unless you are a diehard Cranston fan.

So Freaking Funny
What made the experience of listening to Free: You Have to F--king Eat the most enjoyable?
It's a relevant problem for all parents and nannies alike.. children not wanting to eat when they're supposed to and then being finally hungry at the end of the night just as you're tucking them into bed and ready to head to sleep yourself. I have no children of my own but as a nanny, I experienced the frustrations of kids' erratic eating habits every day and I can totally relate. Plus Bryan Cranston's reading was fantastic.
What other book might you compare Free: You Have to F--king Eat to and why?
Style was slightly reminiscent of The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus with the dry and sarcastic humor and on-point perspective into a very real struggle adults face with children.
What does Bryan Cranston bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
It's way more funny with his narration and the way he seems to really "get" the parent's emotions throughout the various situations with their kid.. the roll on the floor at the restaurant, the full, untouched lunchbox. Brings more humor to the story than if I just read the book. I mean, it's Bryan freaking Cranston.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not really, just smiled at the totally accurate portrayals of how completely irritating kids can be when it comes to food and Bryan Cranston's narration was hilarious.

Like Frenchbread... it gets stale pretty fast.
Would you try another book from Adam Mansbach and/or Bryan Cranston?
Cranston is great, and I'm sure that this book is great in print, but don't download the audiobook. The audio book version comes across about on par with Dane Cook: it seems like it expects you to laugh by how outrageously he swears, and not really much else.
Has Free: You Have to F--king Eat turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
What about Bryan Cranston’s performance did you like?
He is Bryan freaking Cranston.
Was Free: You Have to F--king Eat worth the listening time?
Not really.
Any additional comments?
It probably is a lot more enjoyable with animations, so if you want to get this, buy the physical book.
