Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill was born on 30 November 1874. He was an heir of a noble family of the Dukes of Marlborough. His ancestor George Spencer, a member of the aristocratic Spencer family, was proud of his consanguinity with John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, so he has decided to choose Spencer-Churchill as his surname when he took the title of Duke of Marlborough in 1817.

The information and delivery is good. The production and editing need work.

The text and narration do a fantastic job of relaying info to the listener, which is the only purpose of this book.
The editing needs to be addressed. There are multiple recorded lines that repeat themselves throughout the audiobook. A paragraph that closes one chapter will start the next chapter. There’s also moments when a paragraph will be immediately repeated within a single chapter. All of these repeats are single recordings that have been played twice as if an editor accidentally duplicated sections of audio and didn’t clean all of it.

What if you aren't the Chosen One? The one who's supposed to fight the zombies or the soul-eating ghosts or whatever the heck this new thing is with the blue lights and the death? What if you're like Mikey? Who just wants to graduate and go to prom and maybe finally work up the courage to ask Henna out before someone goes and blows up the high school. Again.

My teenage son told me I had to read this book. I'm so glad I listened.

I came into this book thinking it would be a funny take on the life stories of the no-name side characters of generic hero quest stories (I had no prior knowledge of the author to be honest), but the book I got was so much more. The characters provide readers with positive messages of support and care for those suffering from mental health issues, family/home-life issues, or loneliness and neglect even though they all concurrently suffer from some combination of these. There’s also a positive message for members of the LGBTQ community that don’t feel safe or secure enough to fully come out, if at all. Just such positivity all over the place. I highly recommend this book to anyone that may be suffering from any of these issues or wants a pretty realistic-feeling interpretation of what people suffering from these things go through.
