Rock and roll in the BC (Before Cooper) era was a tamer, milder world. In Who I Really Am, Cooper’s latest addition to Audible’s Words + Music series, we learn how the boa-wearing (not the feathered kind) maestro arrived at a show and sound - let’s call it AC for After Cooper - that has entertained millions of kids while terrifying parents in equal measure. Cooper drew inspiration from Saturday matinee horror movies, applied a "no such thing as too much" attitude, and hitched it to a kick-ass rock and roll band.

Alice is a great story teller and although I am not a super fan of his genre of music, I am a huge fan of his work in our local community in Phoenix. He provides a community center for local kids right down the street from my house. That is what interested me in his story but it was truly funny and interesting. Well done! Thank you for The Rock community center as well.

Story4 out of 5 stars 156
Years ago, an evil wind did blow through my hometown of London, Ontario, culminating in a series of grisly murders...the suspect remains unknown.... Sick is a brutally honest account of childhood abuse and how I uncovered several connections between my father and the tissue killings.

As a true crime lover, I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this book but I was captivated almost immediately. It’s been a while since I found a book I binge listened to. I found the author to be honest and open about things most people won’t speak about. Very interesting in a number of ways. Highly recommend to those who have suffered abuse or just have an interest in true crime stories.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6,644
Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty,early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. John Berendt's sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative flows like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction.

This is one of my favorite books to listen to as I drift off to sleep. The narrator does a fantastic job and the story is fun and interesting. I have listened to this more than any other audio book I have, which are many.

The only book to examine the origins of Scientology's current leader, Ruthless tells the revealing story of David Miscavige's childhood and his path to the head seat of the Church of Scientology, told through the eyes of his father. Ron Miscavige's personal, heartfelt story is a riveting insider's look at life within the world of Scientology.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6,161
Joe Kenda investigated 387 murder cases during his 23 years with the Colorado Springs Police Department and solved almost all of them. And he is ready to detail the cases that are too gruesome to air on television, cases that still haunt him, and the few cases where the killer got away. These cases are horrifyingly real, and the detail is so mesmerizing you won't be able to turn it off.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7,040
Defying both civil authorities and the Mormon establishment in Salt Lake City, the renegade leaders of these Taliban-like theocracies are zealots who answer only to God; some 40,000 people still practice polygamy in these communities. At the core of Krakauer’s book are brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty, who insist they received a commandment from God to kill a blameless woman and her baby girl. Beginning with a meticulously researched account of this appalling double murder, Krakauer constructs a bone-chilling narrative of messianic delusion, polygamy, savage violence, and unyielding faith.

This book is decent but provides much more information on mormonism than about the crime.

I WAS a fan of Holly Madison after being a fan of the girls next door. I found this book to be a unreal and upsetting view of a disgruntled woman. I can't believe how Holly chose to paint herself as such a victim in what many would consider a once in a lifetime opportunity. She literally starts bad mouthing most everyone and painting Hef as a senile and geriatric loser. I couldn't even bring myself to continue listening to this crap. Shame on you Holly Madison!!!

I found this book to be especially interesting in covering the less known serial killer, Arthur Shawcross. The author did an excellent job and provided lots of detail. The narrator was one of my favorite yet for the story he told. I actually thought he sounded quite a bit like Shawcross.
