Meet Michael Blutrich, mild-mannered New York lawyer and founder of Scores, the hottest strip club in New York City history, funded by the proceeds of an insurance embezzlement scheme. All Blutrich wanted was to lay low, make the club a success, and put his criminal acts behind him. But the Mafia got involved, and soon the FBI came knocking. Scores became wildly popular, in part thanks to Blutrich's ability to successfully bend the rules of adult entertainment. Unfortunately for Blutrich, it would all soon implode.

I was on the edge of my seat while listening through every chapter. This storey is unfathomable and you are so glad it's not happening to you. While the author would claim he had no choice but to live through this, I think he was and is the bravest person I've read about.

Loved the story. Should be encouraged to all high school seniors to read.
The narrator's voice and cadence added to the story. A very good read.

Tonya Craft, a Georgia kindergarten teacher and loving mother of two, never expected a knock on her door to change her life forever. But in May 2008, false accusations of child molestation turned her world upside down. The trial that followed dragged her reputation through the mud and lent nationwide notoriety to her name. Tonya's life spiraled into a witch-trial nightmare in which she was deemed guilty before her innocence could be determined by a jury.

Most of us have known "friends" who can be vindictive. Say half-truths about us behind our backs, or downright lies. But to use this vice through the manipulation of your own children against an innocent person who used to claim you as a friend is demonic. Then add our servants of the judicial system who seem to forget their role in finding truth and justice progress a case of falsehoods through the system destroying innocence of children and adults alike is an unbelievable travesty in our time. Where are the consciences of these people?
This book will change the way you think of our judicial system. Beware of the narcissistic prosecutors, judges and law enforcement. We need to read as many true accounts of cases like this one and warn our family members not to take this system at its word.
The ending is as surprising as the story itself. I couldn't stop listening until finished. 2 days is all it took for me.

drawn into the story quickly and stayed there. can understand why some parts were different from the movie but was glad I saw the movie first just in picturing the landscape AND the bear attack. the story is captivating in both the book and movie. highly recommend both.

An abandoned calico cat, about to have kittens, hears the achingly lonely howl of a chained up, abused hound dog deep in the bayou. She dares to find him in the forest and the hound dares to befriend this cat, this feline, this creature he is supposed to hate. They are an unlikely pair, about to become an unlikely family.

Beautifully written! Beautifully Read!!
Revisado: 01-02-13
Would you listen to The Underneath again? Why?
I read this book and found it to be written in a beautiful cadence so I decided to buy the audiobook and was moved to tears by the narrator's reading. I will listen to this book again and again and have recommended it to my friends - all adults.
What other book might you compare The Underneath to and why?
I would compare this book to "A Dog's Purpose" and "War Horse" since these stories were written from the animals perception as well very descriptive.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I would love to see this book made into a film. If you liked Charlotte's Web, you'll cry for The Underneath.

Pi Patel has been raised in a zoo in India. When his father decides to move the family to Canada and sell the animals to American zoos, everyone boards a Japanese cargo ship. The ship sinks, and 16-year-old Pi finds himself alone on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra with a broken leg, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon it's just Pi, the tiger, and the vast Pacific Ocean - for 227 days. Pi's fear, knowledge, and cunning keep him alive until they reach the coast of Mexico, where the tiger disappears into the jungle.

Revisado: 11-29-12
If you could sum up Life of Pi in three words, what would they be?
Thrilling, nail biting, insightful
What was one of the most memorable moments of Life of Pi?
When the hyena was eating the zebra while alive. So horrific but believable . . broke my heart with the death of the animals.
Have you listened to any of Jeff Woodman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but I was trasfixed with his voice, inflections of emotion and best of all, I enjoyed his Indian accent because it placed my imagination where it belonged AND I could understand him completely.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YES!
Any additional comments?
I will listen to this book again in the future.
