Story
“This isn't strictly speaking an instructional manual, but a work of comedic philosophy.” Elvis Costello - songwriter, singer, author, and Fender Jazzmaster known to his admirers as “The Little Hands of Concrete” - spins his tale with wit, grit, and spit to spare. How to Play the Guitar and Y, Costello’s new entry into Audible’s Words + Music series, combines recitation, impersonation, and musical illustration to show you how to turn a three-chord trick into a four-chord caper and let your curiosity take you where it will.

Very funny insightful look into the guitar player’s world, the detail of fingertips sliding along wires and wood. I knew nothing about guitar playing, still not sure what three chord rock is, but this recording is much more than that. Highly recommended listen whether you want to learn to play the guitar or not.

One more in the series and nothing more
Reviewed: 10-31-24
Probably the worst installment, but still enjoyable just because it’s Patrick O’Brian. No story, just a bunch of small moments.

Story
Radio westerns were aimed at kids until 1952 when Gunsmoke hit the radio airwaves. Produced for adult listeners, the stories were grim, the deaths brutal and life on the plains was harsh. Radio audiences had never heard anything like Gunsmoke and they made it the #1 western on radio. It soon made a successful transition to television becoming the longest-running dramatic series in TV history.

Great storytelling
Reviewed: 06-05-23
Though not as well planned and thought out as his earlier books, this one is a great bit of storytelling, O’Brian’s voice is loud and clear through the reading of Mr. Tull.

Story
Karl Marx's devastating critique of capitalism, and his proposal of communism as the answer to the failings of the capitalist system, bore their greatest fruits in the twentieth century with the formation of the communist state in the Soviet Union. This great venture has now all but completely failed. Yet the force of the communist belief offered the prospect of "justice on this earth" to countless numbers. And Marx's critique has influenced generations of thinkers who call themselves Marxists.

I’d rather listen to my Republican grandfather, who died a heart-broken laborer believing in the American Dream. Awful.

Movie was better
Reviewed: 09-19-20
I've rarely found a movie to be better than the source material, (and I don't even like Roger Moore) but this book reads like a dopey comic book. Villain was a caricature. Story is goofy. Haven't read any other Fleming books, though, so maybe they're all this dumb. Kind of fun...
