Good story, annoying narrator
Reviewed: 07-03-24
In typical Frieda McFadden style, The Locked Door is a good story with suspense and twists - which makes it worth the credit. But the narrator is pretty bad. Very stiff and monotone when she is trying to do various voices. But other than that, it was enjoyable.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 135
Tessa Ensler loves her job. She’s worked her way up to being a top criminal defense barrister against all the odds, and fights to defend those pleading not guilty. Tessa believes in the law, believes in the system. Her quick-witted cross-examinations and intelligence in the courtroom see her clocking up win after win—including securing freedom for men accused of rape and sexual assault. Innocence until proven guilty is, after all, the bedrock of a civilized society.

Just let that sink in for a minute. 1 in 3.
Oh how I wish I could have seen Jodie Comer's performance of this on stage. Brilliant!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7,364
Once Donald Trump’s fiercest surrogate, closest confidant, and staunchest defender, Michael Cohen knows where the skeletons are buried. This is the most devastating business and political horror story of the century. As Trump’s lawyer and “fixer”, Cohen not only witnessed firsthand but was also an active participant in the inner workings of Trump’s business empire, political campaign, and presidential administration.

Other than trying to make a buck and flip tRump the bird, I'm not sure why this book was written. We all knew Cohen is a slime bag, just like his boss.

Under the Big Black Sun explores the nascent Los Angeles punk rock movement and its evolution to hardcore punk as it's never been told before. Authors John Doe and Tom DeSavia have woven together an enthralling story of the legendary West Coast scene from 1977 to 1982 by enlisting the voices of people who were there. The book shares chapter-length tales from the authors along with personal essays from famous (and infamous) players in the scene.

This was such a prolific journey through how it started, why it started, what it was meant to be and what it meant to those who continue to live it.

Story4 out of 5 stars 90
Actress and playwright Tina Alexis Allen's audacious memoir unravels her privileged suburban Catholic upbringing that was shaped by her formidable father - a man whose strict religious devotion and dedication to his large family hid his true nature. When Tina was 18 her father accidently discovered the truth about her sexuality. Instead of dragging her to the family priest and lecturing her with tearful sermons about sin and damnation, her father shocked her with his honest response. The two became trusted confidants in a relationship that eventually spiraled out of control.

What would have made Hiding Out better?
The only thing I could think of to make this better is if it were never written.
Would you ever listen to anything by Tina Alexis Allen again?
No. Obviously writing is not her forte
How could the performance have been better?
had it not been "performed"
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Hiding Out?
The normalization of adults having sexual relationships with children.
Any additional comments?
The way the author, (and I use that term loosely) talks about the encounters with her 27 y/o teacher when she was 11-12 years old do not depict a "relationship" as she puts it - it's child abuse. It's an adult molesting a child. And trying to make it anything other than a deplorable act is in itself, deplorable.
