Story
Hey you guys, it’s Leslie. I’m excited to share my story with you. Now, I’m gonna be honest: Some of the details might be vague because a b*tch is fifty-five and she’s smoked a ton of weed. But while bits might be a touch hazy, I can promise you the underlying truth is REAL.

Found the vulgarity distracted from the story m, which itself lacks self-awareness and depth.

Disappointed the dramatization ended halfway through. Should not have been listed as part of the readings without saying as much.

Story
Leonardo da Vinci created the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and engineering. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry.

A wonderful mix of biography, science and art analysis. Would have given 5 stars to the performance but for one glaring mispronounciation: Ingres. Hardly an obscure name in the history of art.

Story
One of the classic works on interior decoration, Edith Wharton’s The Decoration of Houses offers a comprehensive look at the history and character of turn-of-the-century interior design. Co-written with architect Ogden Codman, Jr., this invaluable reference provides us with numerous keen and practical axioms for house design, such as (1) The better the house, the less need for curtains, and (2) the height of a well-proportioned doorway should be twice its width.

…An audio version without the referenced photos and drawings is perforce less useful. The reading is clear, but the pronunciation of foreign words (and there are very many) ranges from not great to downright wrong.

Story
With ribald humor, wit, and incredible insight, Alan seamlessly moves back and forth in time, integrating stories from his childhood in Scotland and his experiences today as the celebrated actor of film, television, and stage. At times suspenseful, at times deeply moving, but always incredibly brave and honest, Not My Father's Son is a powerful story of embracing the best aspects of the past and triumphantly pushing the darkness aside.

I had just finished a highly rated (in Audible) but extremely disappointing celebrity autobiography, when I started Cumming’s story. What a difference! A truly insightful, honest journey into a background one would never have suspected of this talented artist.
Highly recommended.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

The reading was an inspired ensemble of characters. Will definitely look for other books narrated by Ms Dawson.
Story could make a good film.

Superstar comedian and Hollywood box-office star Kevin Hart turns his immense talent to the written word by writing some words. Some of those words include: the, a, for, above, and even even. Put them together and you have the funniest, most heartfelt, and most inspirational memoir on survival, success, and the importance of believing in yourself since Old Yeller.

Initially interesting, but lapses into plain old vulgarity as his fame grows. If you know his standup comedy you may expect it, but if you know him from his PG movies you’ll find it disturbing.

Story
From one of the truly preeminent historians of our time, this is a landmark book chronicling the French Revolution. Simon Schama deftly refutes the contemporary notion that the French Revolution represented an uprising of the oppressed poor against a decadent aristocracy and corrupt court. He argues instead that the revolution was born of a rift among the elite over the speed of progress toward modernity and science, social and economic change.

Content ruined by condescending tone of reader
Reviewed: 07-24-20
Almost unbearable to listen to. One has to wonder that the author has allowed this to be read in such a manner, unless he truly hates the French from every angle, because that's the impression one gets from the reading.
