This is a robot voice reading this one.
Seriously, get a real human or just don't make it an audio book.
It was really hard to want to pay attention to this robot when it mispronounced the word Palio.
A good deal of the information seems on par with other diet/healthy eating guidelines, right up to the statement of, "don't eat animal products more than once a week at the most"
I want dietary facts, not opinionated agendas.

The information in this book is fairly entertaining if you're a nerd like me. I however, did not enjoy the narrator's voice. It sounded too much like the robot computer generated voice that you would get on tiktok or instagram.

I didn't know who Stanley Tucci was until I saw the movie Julia and Julia. Up until that point he was just a nameless actor that I occasionally noticed in random films. I began to respect him after watching the series Searching for Italy. If you've seen the show, and enjoy it, then you'll really enjoy this read. It begins with his childhood. As toddler playing with his blocks and his mother watching a cookong show where a host was cooking a duck, and all the confusion that a toddler can have about cooking and eating a duck.
Though I don't like the way he pronounces 'crepes' and accordingtomy wife he mispronounced tge wird 'Bocci' I thoroughly enjoy Tucci's ability to articulate coupled with his sense of humor. It inspires me to expand my vocabulary and be better at speaking as well as writing.
There are multiple references to his late wife, And a few of the movies that he has been in where food or cookong was the main focus of the film. Like Julia and Julia, also Big Night, where many of the characters in the film are based on actual people Stanley met at various points throughout his life.
Spoiler alert;
Stanley Tucci is lactose intolerant and thinks that "the best bread in Italy, is in France"
If you know, then you know. Otherwise you'll have to read the book to find out why.
I recommend this book.

I wasn't floored and impressed with this one, but it's always nice to hear what's going on inside an artist's head. Especially from an artist who I grew up listening to, and their music definitely had an impact on my life.
This was a nice short story and a glance into the life of this talented musician.

This book is clearly slanted. I can agree with the concept of eating more fruit and vegetables while consuming less meat overall, but never once does this book refer wild caught, free range, or grass fed or even non-factory farmed meat as an alternative to basic junk food.
Although this book is loaded with plentiful information about how healthy vegetables are and in what specific ways they are healthy, the vast majority of comparisons in this book regarding meat are junky high fat meat products such as Jimmy Dean sausage, Twinkies, McDonald's, Burger King and other fast food meat products. Now there is a generalization that this is how Americans tend to eat however, it is not how all Americans tend to eat, And without addressing those issues and alternative meat qualities, the author is pushing a slanted/lop sided argument. We already know that organic grown vegetables are vastly superior to fast food. I was hoping for a better comparison, to find out why even grass-fed meat may be equally bad to consume and this book does not address that at all.
Wildly disappointed in this read.

Columbine Audiobook By Dave Cullen cover art

Graphic and Detailed!

The mass shooting at Colorado’s Columbine High School, on April 20th 1999. The perpetrators of the shooting, Columbine High seniors Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, killed thirteen people—twelve students and one teacher—and injured another two-dozen, before taking their own lives.
The author outlines the very graphic details of the actual shooting step by step as it happened. However, the story does jump around a bit. It starts out with the shooting and goes into details of each person's life and brings you right back to the shooting again. So while the shooting is going on, you get to appear into the lives and interactions of these students and their families as well of off-campus events that lead up to this horrific massacre

I'm somewhat in disbelief that I spent 4 hours of my life listening to this and still trying to figure out what it was about. I know there's a bunch of hidden metaphors but the book basically was about fishing

This book gets into the dynamics of vampire-empath relationships and explained how vampires use others energy to fuel their own dysfunctional lives. Once you recognize the patterns of behavior that mark these #relationships, you’ll be empowered to identify the vampires in your life too.
