Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

This was a very fun read performed impeccably by Wil Wheaton. The pacing and lighthearted vibe reminds me of The Kaiju Preservation Society. I recommend it!

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

Wonderful memoir
Reviewed: 03-29-23
This book is a starting and thought provoking memoir. Well thought out and we’ll put together. I couldn’t wait for my daily commute to see what would happen next.
The narrator’s performance suited the book perfectly.

Whimsical and fun

This was a wild and whimsical book with so much depth and so much to say.
I wish I could give the narrator 6/5. The narration was perfect and really brought the story to life.

The How to Train Your Dragon series chronicles the adventures and misadventures of Viking underdog Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and his dragon, Toothless. In Book 9, a dragon rebellion is coming - filled with the meanest, nastiest dragons in the Archipelago. Razor-wings, Tonguetwisters, and Vampire Ghouldeaths are attacking Vikings and seem to be seeking one soul in particular: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third!

These books are so much fun. Imaginative stories brilliantly read. They captivate my four year old ... And his parents too.

If you could sum up How to Train Your Dragon in three words, what would they be?
I listen to this during car rides with my young son. The story is so fun and the narration is beyond perfect - makes car trips with a four year old (believe it or not) actually fun.
What does David Tennant bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
David Tennant's character voices, energy and excitement are infectious - I love what he brings to these stories as narrator.
