The instant New York Times best-selling memoir from the outspoken former governor - an "explosive" (Guardian) "must read" (Hugh Hewitt) account of Chris Christie's life in politics including his "not to miss" (Entertainment Weekly) insights into Donald Trump. In Let Me Finish, Christie sets the record straight about his tenure as a corruption-fighting prosecutor and a Republican running a Democratic state, as well as what really happened on the 2016 campaign trail and inside Trump Tower.

Cyril Avery is not a real Avery - or at least that's what his adoptive parents tell him. And he never will be. But if he isn't a real Avery, then who is he? Born out of wedlock to a teenage girl cast out from her rural Irish community and adopted by a well-to-do if eccentric Dublin couple via the intervention of a hunchbacked Redemptorist nun, Cyril is adrift in the world, anchored only tenuously by his heartfelt friendship with the infinitely more glamourous and dangerous Julian Woodbead.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

I really enjoyed this book. kept me interested from chapter 1. reminded me of Angela's ashes in that Trevor conveys a difficult youth but in a way that keeps you involved. you might even laugh. Enjoy.

In 2006, Ben S. Bernanke was appointed chair of the Federal Reserve, capping a meteoric trajectory from a rural South Carolina childhood to professorships at Stanford and Princeton, to public service in Washington's halls of power. There would be no time to celebrate, however - the burst of the housing bubble in 2007 set off a domino effect that would bring the global financial system to the brink of meltdown.

Read and understand what happened in 2007-2009
Revisado: 11-05-15
If you could sum up The Courage to Act in three words, what would they be?
What really happened
Any additional comments?
Not everyone will like or be interested in this book as it is very technical and limited to those who want to understand what happened to the economy in 2007-2009. But for those who form opinions from tv shows that pretend to give you news but really just promote a political opinion, you might want to listen to this book to understand what the back story and facts are without the spin factor. Most facts are documentable based upon what really happened.I am in the Financial industry and lived through and was affected by much of this. I Can you tell you without the actions described by Bernanke being taken, we would still be in a horrible recession today. Listen and learn.

David Spade is best known for his harsh "Hollywood Minute" sketches on SNL, his starring roles in movies like Tommy Boy and Joe Dirt, and his seven-year stint as Dennis Finch on the series Just Shoot Me. Now, with a wit as dry as the weather in his home state of Arizona, the "comic brat extraordinaire" delivers a memoir.

Loved this book
Revisado: 11-05-15
Where does Almost Interesting rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
at the top
Who was your favorite character and why?
David. He is very funny guy and makes his story even more so.
Which character – as performed by David Spade – was your favorite?
David
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Don't need a film.
Any additional comments?
Really was entertained listening to this book. I like to listen in the car, so wanted to just drive around so I could keep listening. David tells his story in his usual funny off hand way. But to have 2 Spade brothers go from near poverty to being so successful, kudos to their Mom and the way they managed their lives growing up. Laughed a lot listening to this book and will remember some of his throwaway lines forever. e.g. don't tickle a person who has diarrhea. Listen and enjoy!!

narration ruins enjoyment of the story
Revisado: 07-16-14
What did you like best about A Walk Among the Tombstones? What did you like least?
The narrator should only be used for stories in the south or somewhere where slow talking wouldn't be annoying.
Would you be willing to try another book from Lawrence Block? Why or why not?
depends who was reading it.
What didn’t you like about Mark Hammer’s performance?
his voice
Was A Walk Among the Tombstones worth the listening time?
not sure if the story would be better with a faster pace

How did this get published?
Revisado: 03-27-12
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I cannot imagine how this book was published or is on anyone's best seller list. Must be people buying it like I did, because it was on the list. Worst book ever. I'm more than half thru it and still nothing is happening. What was this book supposed to be about?
Has The Most Dangerous Thing turned you off from other books in this genre?
It has no point or story.
Would you be willing to try another one of Linda Emond’s performances?
no
Could you see The Most Dangerous Thing being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
I cannot imagine any producer being interested in this as a book. Maybe a tv movie for Fox.
