Greg Donahue’s The Minuteman, tells the story of one of Newark’s native sons; ex-prizefighter and longtime Zwillman enforcer Sidney Abramowitz, a.k.a. Nat Arno, who took over leadership of the Minutemen in 1934 and made it his personal business to put an end to what he saw as the Bund’s “anti-American” activities. For six years, Arno and his crew of vigilantes battled Newark’s Nazis at every turn. The Minuteman is a story of the ethics of violence in the face of fascism; a forgotten legacy that is as relevant now as it was nearly a hundred years ago.

In Blood, Sweat, and Pixels, Jason Schreier takes listeners on a fascinating odyssey behind the scenes of video game development, where the creator may be a team of 600 overworked underdogs or a solitary geek genius.

Eve looks like an ordinary 12-year-old girl, but there’s nothing ordinary about her. She has no last name. No parents or guardian. She’s on the run from a dangerous and secretive organization that will stop at nothing to track her down. And most astonishing of all: she’s a robot, a product of Eden Laboratories. When Eve discovers the truth, she realizes everything she thought she knew about herself is a lie. Eve manages to escape, fleeing the lab, the only home she’s ever known.

Until the only friend left from her previous life shows up, dead, in the back of a scrapped Tesla warplane. Clutched in her cold fingers is a note to Shining - warning her of a coming attack.

If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And it's as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation - and dark humor - toward middle age and mortality.

As humans, we all need to belong. While modern social life can make even the best of us feel gawky, for roughly one in five of us, navigating its challenges is consistently overwhelming - an ongoing maze without an exit. Often unable to grasp social cues or master the skills and grace necessary for smooth interaction, we feel out of sync with those around us. Though individuals may recognize their awkward disposition, they rarely understand why they are like this.

Every day we work hard to motivate ourselves, the people we live with, the people who work for and do business with us. In this way much of what we do can be defined as being motivators. From the boardroom to the living room, our role as motivators is complex, and the more we try to motivate partners and children, friends and coworkers, the clearer it becomes that the story of motivation is far more intricate and fascinating than we've assumed.

When you're a spy, you see a lot of strategies. It's your job to see grand strategies. Regional strategies. National strategies. Most of all, individual strategies. It's your job to see them and to understand them, because that's how you know when threats exist. To identify threats, you're infiltrating an enemy's organization. You're figuring out who is making decisions. And who isn't. You're collecting intelligence on what they know. And what they don't know. You're figuring out their plans.

Adam Wade is a pretty good storyteller, but, as Audible warns at the beginning of the audiobook, listener discretion is advised. Vulgar language and sexual themes are present.

So depressing
This guy is supposed be be a great story teller. I guess it depends on your definition. If a great story teller is someone who explains in excruciating detail every horrible event of his life in a voice that sounds like he’s going to cry at any second, well then, this guy is the best! I think it’s supposed to be funny in a self-deprecating way, but it wasn’t. It was just sad and pathetic. I’m depressed from listening to it. This was a freebie. Maybe I should have gone with the apocalyptic biker cat option. Trying to survive the end of the world would’ve been a happier story. I’m gonna go cry now.

Enjoyable, self-deprecating humor
Although Adam's humor does not make me laugh until I cry, I found this audible selection enjoyable. For those who found it sad, the fact that he rose above his years of being bullied and used it as material to be successful, is not sad at all. This should be required listening for all middle school kids. It takes a talented comedian to get laughs without being completely vulgar these days.

Spectacular
I've never laughed so hard while feeling so uncomfortable in my life. For every adult that was a hopeless, socially uncomfortable kid, you tapped so many emotions, and brought back so many colon-tightening events that it reminded me how much I survived to get where I am. Congratulations on swinging the bat!

A sweetness that is sorely missing
I wish more people had a genuine goodness and sweetness that is Adam. The world would be better if more of us were more like him.

Still smiling
What a sweetheart this guy is. I listened while taking my daily walks. Sometimes I’d laugh out loud and sometimes I could feel the pain. Martin Scorsese said “the more personal the more creative.” I loved it. Made me feel so human.

Warning please
There should be a warning that there are adult themes and language in the description of any selection. I don't appreciate finding out as I started listening. What a waste. I might have selected something else from the free selections had I known. I don't care to listen to that type of thing.
