Wizard of Odd

Revisado: 07-20-24

I've heard about this popular book for years, but I found it disappointing and odd. I certainly didn't learn anything I could put to good use. Nope.

Kevin Nealon is the Best!

Revisado: 04-11-24

I bought thus as a companion to the physical book. I'd rather hear Kevin Nealon tell his stories than read them. He always sounds like a friend; funny and relaxed. A fun listen!

Academic Look at Language of Cults

Revisado: 03-28-24

Cultish makes the case that cults range from Jonestown horrors to Crossfit and AmWay. It's an interesting subject and the book is occasionally lively, but mostly a dry, academic look into the subject.

A Love Letter to Airplane!

Revisado: 03-18-24

A love-letter to Airplane!, it's collaborators, and fans. Anyone who has memorized the movie's crazy dialogue will want to give this a listen.

Fright Night, Plus!

Revisado: 02-18-24

This is a retelling of the original Fright Night movie, with more character depth and a little vampire history. It also introduces a potential new antagonist, opening the door for a sequel. Bring it on! Fright Night: Origins gives you 3x the fun of the movie and is read by Jerry Dandridge himself. A must-listen for fans, and a nice introduction for newbies.

Wham! Bamford!

Revisado: 12-27-23

The headline Wham! Bamford! was inspired by a photo in the accompanying .pdf to this entertaining, informative, and relatable audio book. I hope Maria sees it and considers it as a title to a future book or special. It'd be a shame to relegate Wham! Bamford! to the dustbin of history, as they say. Or any dustbin, really.

I liked the book, and found many little asides from Bamford that were familiar to me in my own life. Maybe you'll find yourself in her story as well!

Brilliant Book, Humorless Narrator

Revisado: 12-08-23

Solid info for anyone wanting to write great copy. Buy the print book for easy reference throughout your career - it's that good! However, the well-spoken, professional sounding narrator of the audio book does NOT capture the humor of the author's writing. I did manage to laugh out loud a couple of times, in better-suited hands, I'd have laughed more.

BTS of a Comedy Classic!

Revisado: 07-10-23

it's great hearing Mel Brooks speak for himself about Young Frankenstein, a monster movie comedy that will not die! I wish Gene Wilder also narrated the story, and Terri Garr, Chloris Leachman, etc. But we do have their words, or the words of witnesses to their on-screen magic. My only real complaint is that it was over so quickly. I want more, Mel, more! Love the movie and this book is a nice companion.

Must Have for Creators of Any Kind

Revisado: 03-04-23

Great book! insightful and inspiring. After listening to Rick Rubin read The Creative Act, I now know that I need the kindle version as well so I can share quotes.

Great Bookfor Marketers and Writers

Revisado: 02-06-23

Seriously, this book explains your client's journey, their customer's journey, and the famous "hero's journey" better than any marketing or creative writing book I've read before. Easy to understand, repetitive hammering home of the main points with lots of examples. Your Yoda.
