Story
For six years, journalist Patricia Evangelista documented killings carried out by police and vigilantes in the name of then president Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs—a crusade that led to the slaughter of thousands—immersing herself in the world of killers and survivors and capturing the atmosphere of terror created when an elected president decides that some lives are worth less than others.

Fascinatingly eerie, unbelievably palpable, brilliantly written and wonderfully narrated by author - Patricia Evangelista! And it’s all true. Thank you Ms. Evangelista for writing a magnificent book honoring the people who were killed, for consoling and mourning and at the same time giving a voice and celebrating the lives of the families, friends and bystanders who witnessed the atrocities under the rule of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.
If anything, I hope we learn from your book to choose our future leaders a lot wiser.
The best book I’ve read in years.
Unforgettable!

Story
In 2017, New Yorker staff writer D.T. Max began working on a major profile of Stephen Sondheim that would be timed to the eventual premiere of a new musical Sondheim was writing. Sadly , that process – and the years of conversation – was cut short by Sondheim’s own hesitations, then the global pandemic, and finally by the great artist’s death in November 2021.

This is Alabaster Penitentiary…where they send you when the world thinks you’re dead. And trust me, you’ll wish you were. We’re the stain on society. The freaks, the creeps, your favorite Netflix documentaries come to life. They lock us up and throw away the key, because we deserve it. But not me. I’m just a lowly bank robber. I don’t belong here, surrounded by psychopaths and killers with no remorse…At least, I don’t think I do.

There’s not enough wonderful words to describe this unforgettable, steamy, complicated yet comforting book.
Nyla K where have you been all my life?
I just completed the Audible version - wonderfully narrated/acted by Michael Gallagher and Bryant Walker.
Needless to say, I was so impressed that I almost purchased the Audible copies of “Joyless”, “Brainwashed” and “For the Fans”.
A major thanks to Dascha, Officer Kemper, Luthor, Joy, Rook, Ren, Darcey, Velle, Kang, Mister Softee, Manuel Blanco, Nicky, Alabaster Penitentiary and more importantly Nyla K!

OMG … Barbra…this book is simply THE BEST!!!
“My Name is Barbra” is a fantastic read and 100 times better in audio format - yes, I plan to buy the hardcover too.
Barbra's narration is like a lovely, unforgettable song.
Worth the wait! 47 hours of pure blissful Barbra. This Audible edition is like Chanukah, Christmas, Rosh Hashanah, and Yom Kippur all rolled up into one. Since I plan to re-listen over and over again, then it's the holidays all year round!
Do yourself a favor and purchase "My Name is Barbra"
It truly is like buttah!!!
Okay, I can't type anymore... I'm getting verklempt.

The difference between erotica and bad porn is...

NO, NOPE, NIX and UH-UH
Reviewed: 11-04-19
I'm sorry to say this but this "Complete 27 Book Series" sounds like a vinyl skipping 27 times. There's not even a stop nor an introduction for every story. I got loss in a maze of the same stories with different scenarios which I managed to hear.
The title says it all - "Pounded"-yes, "by gay men" - yes, "who raised him" - yes and boy it's 9 Hrs & 14 min.
Was it sexual or sexy? NO! Was it erotic? NO!
It's like a marathon narration of more of the same plus the narration was monotone which did not help.
Putting the 27 stories together was not a very good idea nor was it a deal. Now, if you want listening to a broken record, then this is for you. Sorry Mr. Paigeman. I never give bad reviews...never-ever.
Your premise was good unfortunately that's where it ends.

Story
I've never messed around with a guy before. Not that I haven't been attracted to guys. The opportunity just never came up. I stand at the front door, naked. My bro's roomie, Scott, is pissed about how much noise I made with the girl I just escorted out of their apartment, but I figured we were alone, and I couldn't help that she liked to scream out to let me know she was enjoying herself.

FU IN EXCELSIS DEO!!!
Reviewed: 03-07-19
FU was my wonderful introduction to Audible, the excellent Devon McCormack and (probably) the most talented narrator Michael Pauley!
The audiobook has everything - character build-up, angst, love, life challenges and yes, the very HOT SEX scenes. Every now and then I have to pause and just admire Mr. Pauley’s excellent narration - you brought this book to life! “FU” was the first book I purchased in Audible - a very smart choice because this is the third time I’ve listened to Scott and Mikey. The 3rd time I took an incredible ride with all the unforgettable characters. An audiobook this good is worth re-visiting again and again. It’s like visiting an old, (very) good and reliable friend . Thank you Mr. McCormack and Mr. Pauley for the unforgettable ride.

SEXY, WELL WRITTEN AND SUPER-HOT!!!
Reviewed: 10-14-18
Never judge a book by it’s cover they say, however, the sexy cover for the short read/listen “Bi Guy” led me to this book.
The book is actually the story of how a straight guy became “Bi”with the accidental prodding of his girlfriend.
Their relationship used to be hot but became boring. This led to the couple to a porn movie house where the “guy” watched his first MMF movie and witnessed a gay couple seated behind them having “fun”.
This “first” experience made our “guy” very curious indeed about gay sex.
His gay experience became more and more hot which made this book a fun and truly a SUPER-HOT addition to Audible. I wish the book was longer. I’m so looking forward to a “series” Mr. Mason Lee with the excellent Kevin Giffin doing the narration.
Having said that, this short book was straight to the point which led to listeners (like myself), well...very HOT and BOTHERED😝😎😛
