terrible narration
Reviewed: 04-23-25
I agree with most other reviews. it sucked that the villains name seemed to change. Keep the same reader for all the novels. Once a character has a voice, it doesn't flow to change it every book, especially when the name is pronounced differently by a new reader.
Returned this one, couldn't make it past 9 chapters.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 227
As punishment for his part in an attempted coup in heaven, the archangel Michael is banished to Earth. The holiest of the angelic host has to learn to live as a mortal - not an easy job when you’ve got Satan as a next-door neighbor. Michael soon finds that being a good person involves more than helping out at Sunday school and attending church coffee mornings. He has to find his purpose in life, deal with earthly temptations, and solve a mystery involving some unusual monks and a jar of very dangerous jam.

Wonderful stories that'll keep you guessing
Reviewed: 01-30-21
I love the narration and the stories keep you guessing until the end. I learned so much about the characters and author I would've never imagined to be true without liaising to the book.
Highly recommend

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 61,435
How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

Must read
Reviewed: 09-12-19
This should be a must read for every officer in rookie school. This comment is coming from a 40+ year old white male & former police officer in the south.
It's very informative and gives you situations and possible encounters to think about before you are in them that may need a little more thought than, "I have the powers of arrest here, shut up, and do what I say." Practice the "What if" and keep yourself safe while respecting those you are sworn to protect. It's not just a saying.

I found the journal at work. Well, I don't know if you'd call it work, but that's where I found it. It's the lost journal of Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest inventors and visionaries ever. Before he died in 1943, he kept a notebook filled with spectacular claims and outrageous plans.

narrator ruined it
Reviewed: 12-13-18
I love the author buy the narrator ruined it for me personally. I listened to the books in order so when the voices all changed in book 3 it didn't feel right. I still decided to trudge on. As the book proceeded, it got worse, voices intermingled making it harder to follow. Sorry to the narrator, I'm sure he's great in other books, but this one wasn't his to read. I recommend reading it instead.

Too much about cats

If you want a book about a cat, this is it. there's a little bit of time travel, it's not bad, but I don't plan to cover it again.

In Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and "roads" scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets.

Not his best work by far
Reviewed: 12-08-18
I love Moore's writings, he's in my top five. Perhaps it's because this is an earlier work and compared to other books of his I didn't enjoy it as much. However, I still finished it without trouble.

Returning to the territory he so brilliantly explored in his masterful New York Times best seller American Gods, the incomparable Neil Gaiman offers up a work of dazzling ingenuity, a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth that is at once startling, terrifying, exhilarating, and fiercely funny, a true wonder of a novel that confirms Stephen King's glowing assessment of the author as "a treasure house of story, and we are lucky to have him."

I thought not, not again anyway
Reviewed: 11-07-18
I just knew the author couldn't compare to his first novel, Shit My Dad Says. To write another book with similar subject matter as his first book had to be a bad idea like the terrible sequel movie attempt to a wonderful I've time great film. Was I ever wrong, it was a perfect follow-up if not perfect all by itself! I was laughing so hard at one point during the bathroom incident while his future wife stood guard I couldn't drive from the tears in my eyes and pain in my side. Another homerun from Justin and his father. I wish he could've been my father too.
