Insightful and well done

Revisado: 03-12-25

Arquette read the text great. Gave new perspective on the lyrics to the songs. Now I know a lot of intimate details about Chrissy Hynde’s life and find her to be a very interesting person. Her words came through with a clear punk rock ethos but she also admitted deep down to loving The Kinks and The Beatles. She always had a vision for her music and I respect that and appreciate knowing her story. Only thing that wasn’t there was intimate details of her life with Ray Davies and Jim Kerr, but that’s probably best for the sake of the families not wanting to know about stuff like that. Understandable. All around: Nicely done and recommended for any Pretenders fan. Rock on!

A riveting retelling of Lee & Ditko’s classics!

Revisado: 05-02-24

A fun prose novel adaption of Strange Tales #110, 111, 114-146 and Amazing Spider-Man Annual #2. Great descriptions of the classic panels. Wish there wasn’t the obvious but not obvious political nod in the introduction (and in the adaptation of Doc’s first appearance no less! Sacrilege!) Very entertaining listen and thumbs up.

A lovely memoir and history. Mr. Tolhurst has a wonderful voice as a narrator. Recommended to any fan of the genre or those just discovering what it’s all about.

Great stories.

Growing up in LA myself it was great to hear tales of Hollywood from Quentin’s perspective. Recommended.

In depth and fascinating

Revisado: 10-12-19

Great series of lectures. I learned a lot and was impressed with the depth of research presented here. Professor Spence untangles the interconnected web of complexity within the history of various secret societies and presents an objective viewpoint in separating fact from fiction. He also explores when the line between what is true and false seems to blur. Thought provoking and compelling.

Essential reading for the artist

Revisado: 03-05-19

This book is one of those books that will take me years to fully absorb. The advice isn't the empty platitudes of a self help book, but practical and workable implementations of running a successful business in the arts.

Billy Idol nails it!

Revisado: 03-05-19

Sex, drugs and punk rock! Billy Idol's story is told with eloquence and intelligence. Great performance by the author with many jaw-dropping fables of the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

Burt should get an Oscar for this Audibook

Revisado: 01-28-16

What did you love best about But Enough About Me?

To not only get Burt Reynold's words in his book into your head but his voice as well... One of his finest performances. Whatever you may think of Reynolds, who proved his acting chops in Deliverance, The Longest Yard, and Boogie Nights as well as his comedy performances as guest host of the Tonight Show and the Smokey and The Bandit movies, this book goes much deeper. Using every chapter as a miniature biography, it's like Burt's own Wikipedia page on legends of screen, sports, stage, and television. Who else but Burt could tell you intimate stories and asides from the likes of Spencer Tracy, Betty Davis, Lee Marvin, the Rat Pack, and others of Hollywood's Golden age? He even went up to Mae West's room one night! (SPOILER ALERT!) Some things are glossed over, and Burt gets notably angry when discussing tabloids or certain people from his past, but that's what makes this audiobook so human. We get a portrait of the man and see both his ego and his weaknesses in what convinced me was his honest assessment of the truth. I never caught him acting, and when he gets emotional bringing up dear departed friends like Dom DeLuise and DInah Shore, you get choked up right with him. If Paul Thomas Anderson and Archer made Burt cool again, the only thing for me that would blow it would be if the book got into religion or politics, which are always left on the sidelines in this book. I think that's classy. Burt's knowledge of the acting process is interesting as well so this is a great book for actors. A great listen.
