Your child might be the explosive type, the ones who burst into anger when they don’t get what they want. They may be very agreeable at times, but they can be a real pain to handle when they reach their boiling point. This book will help you cope with these kinds of children. You may have arrived at the end of your wits and sought several therapists already. You may feel that your cause is impossible, but this book will show that your child has a great capacity to change.

This book reminds me of when someone in the checkout line at the grocery store gives you parenting advice.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Not written by King
Reviewed: 03-11-19
I can’t believe this was written by Stephen King. Fetching premise, terrible execution. The story is nothing more than a filibuster. It’s like the author is talking because he has to fill more time than he’d originally expected. The narrator was poorly chosen. Talented? Sure. But he makes you forget the protagonist’s youth. He sounds like he’s sixty, not thirty-five. His “Texas drawl” is insulting and sounds parodical. The worst part about the book? It’s. So. Boring. Don’t buy this book unless you want to be bored.

In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

Too political
Reviewed: 04-13-18
I didn’t realize, when buying this novel, that it would be so political. It’s like the author took a list of political hot topics and checked them off as he incorporated them into the story. The narration was all right for certain emotions, but the narrator sometimes has a certain lilt in his voice during serious parts that makes the character sound more petulant than the narrator intended. It just made me laugh every single time I heard it. I’d listen to it again, but it wasn’t by any means my favorite story or performance.
