This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Anyone interested in the personal stories that compose an approximate historical record of the Navy Seals.

What was most disappointing about Dick Couch and William Doyle ’s story?

I was looking forward to an interesting listen filled with interesting stories and unbelievable accounts from men in our history. Sadly, I couldn't get passed the boring accounts of key people involved in the early history of the elite military group.

You may not be inspired and radically change your life after reading this one, but you won;t regret spending a credit on it.

The story is slightly above average at best, but the analytical process of a 'fish out of water' comes across as humorous and entertaining, and in the end, didn't disappoint.

Your Look Behind the Curtain of MLBs Steroid Era

Would you try another book from Tim Elfrink and Gus Garcia-Roberts and/or Johnny Heller?

The draw for me with this book was the behind the scenes look at baseball in the steroid era, past and present. Although at times I wished there was less content on Tony Bosh and more on the MLB, I still wasn't disappointed.

What other book might you compare Blood Sport to and why?

The Yankee Years by Joe Torre and Tom Verducci because both books give Major League Baseball fans a great behind the scenes look at the sport they love.

Did Blood Sport inspire you to do anything?

Not to take Performance Enhancing Drugs in the Miami area.

Any additional comments?

In many ways Blood Sport is the peak behind the MLB's PED curtain that you've been waiting for.

Would you try another book from Greg Behrendt and Amiira Ruotola and/or Greg Behrendt and Amiira Ruotola ?

I would love to see what Behrendt & Ruotola come out with next.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Something not self-help related, as this title pretty much leaves you satisfied with the genre.

What does Greg Behrendt and Amiira Ruotola bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The performance of the two is what sold me on the book. The 5 minute sample is a good representation of the whole audiobook.

Beyond the stelar performance of the two authors you'll find just another self-help dating book that has its' moments.

Any additional comments?

Laughing out loud is guaranteed nearly as often as you periodically lose interest in the book.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Fans of Ghost Whisperer.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment. I was looking for an informative read about ghosts in today's society instead of a six and a half hour plug for Praagh's show.

Any additional comments?

Not a horrible book, just not accurately represented as what it is.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

It would have to be a short film.

Any additional comments?

Dicks' quirky main character makes for an interesting premise, but he fails to deliver comparable content. This book turned out to be nine hours of patiently waiting for the plot to pickup.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Putting the terrible content aside, Golic's performance was lacking, but actually better than Greenberg's, who at times sounded like a child being forced to read from the pulpit during mass.

Any additional comments?

Composed of feeble attempts at humor and legitimately sad performances, this book was at times hard to listen to, but I will always love Mike & Mike and am glad to support them, just as long as they stick to radio.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Most Dangerous Animal of All?

Hearing Author Gary L. Stewart's voice breaking as he fought back tears in a few sections of his memoir.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Read a little smoother.

Did The Most Dangerous Animal of All inspire you to do anything?

Buy my dad a decent Father's Day gift

Any additional comments?

I think the Zodiac killings are fascinating and was exciting to download the newest in the serial killers' saga. I found myself disenchanted with this book until the final part. If you are a fan of true crime and/or the Zodiac killer, stick it out until the final pages of the book and you won't be disappointed.

Would you try another book from Anthony Strong and/or Simon Vance and Kate Reading ?

Vance is phenomenal (except when impersonating a female climaxing)

Has Chemistry for Beginners turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Simon Vance was born to read books aloud, but his talents weren't highlighted in this venture.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Chemistry for Beginners?

If was the editor, this would have been a short story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The 5 minute preview - That's all it took.

Any additional comments?

Really enjoyed this book. I love the cowboys and hearing what was going on behind the scenes was as profoundly intriguing as it was disturbing.
