Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,650
Scarlett Vandermeer is swimming upstream. A Junior at Stanford and a student-athlete who specializes in platform diving, Scarlett prefers to keep her head down, concentrating on getting into med school and on recovering from the injury. She has no time for relationships. Swim captain, world champion, all-around aquatics golden boy Lukas Blomqvist thrives on discipline. It’s how he wins gold medals and breaks records: complete focus, with every stroke. On the surface, Lukas and Scarlett have nothing in common. Until a well-guarded secret slips out, and everything changes.

Trite!!!! That is about as much of a review as I can muster. Why is she crying every time they have sex?! Do yourself a favor and just move on to your next choice.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11,093
Audie Award, Humor, 2016. In Furiously Happy, number-one New York Times best-selling author Jenny Lawson explores her lifelong battle with mental illness. A hysterical, ridiculous book about crippling depression and anxiety? That sounds like a terrible idea. But terrible ideas are what Jenny does best.

Jenny Lawson is nuts; in a good way.
Reviewed: 08-20-18
She's not joking when she says she's nuts. If the stories she tells you in this book are not exaggerated, then her husband must be a saint because Jenny Lawson is bananas. I really liked the way she describes her relationship with her family in this book. It's funny in a heartfelt way. The story telling is done well, but it is scattered, which makes it a good book to listen to in parts. This was a fun listen and I would recommend to those that don't need a solid A to B type story line.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 50,509
Before Liz Lemon, before Weekend Update, before Sarah Palin, Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: A recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true. At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've always suspected: You're no one until someone calls you bossy.

I loved it
Reviewed: 08-20-18
I actually read Bossypants before listening to it and I loved the book. I love when the author narrates so I decided to give the audio book a go so that I could hear it the way Tina Fey had intended her readers to read it. Her performance is great and I had a very easy time listening to Tina. The story is full of fun anicdotes about working on SNL and 30 Rock and does a great job of giving the listener behind-the-scenes glimpses of what it was like to be on those shows. It's also a good window into who Tina Fey is as a writer and an actor. Love Bossypants, love Tina Fey, and will definitely recommend others read and/or listen to the book.

I thought it would be more suspenseful.
Reviewed: 08-20-18
The storyline was alright but the end seems a bit forced like the author wrote themselves into a pickle and didn't know how to properly unravel the mystery. I like the performance of the narrator. As far as mysteries go I wasn't bored, but I don't think I'd recommend.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 8,251
Four decades after it first shook the nation, then the world, William Peter Blatty's thrilling masterwork of faith and demonic possession returns in an even more powerful form. Raw and profane, shocking and blood-chilling, it remains a modern parable of good and evil and perhaps the most terrifying novel ever written.

There's nothing better than when the author narrates their own novel. The story is so classic, so well written, and perfectly delivered by William Peter Blatty .

the narrator's style of speaking is unusually slow
Reviewed: 07-13-17
It took a while to get used to it. The reading is much too slow to the point of making the listener feel, well, stupid. The story is predictable, juvenile, and kind of boring. The end was different than I expected however, so I gave it 3 stars instead of 2.

I love it when the author is narrating.
Reviewed: 02-09-16
I love it when the author is the one to narrate the book. The pauses are at the intended time and the feel of the book always seems to come through when it's the author reading it to you. The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is that I felt it was a bit short and it didn't tell me much about Amy Poehler it was pretty much a very heartfelt review of her previous jobs, which didn't really let me know her better. It was okay.
