Number one New York Times best-selling author Michael Moore returns with his first major book in eight years - a blend of memoir, history, and politics that only he could write.
"I had an unusually large-sized head, though this was not uncommon for a baby in the Midwest. The craniums in our part of the country were designed to leave a little extra room for the brain to grow in case one day we found ourselves exposed to something we didn't understand, like a foreign language, or a salad".
Michael Moore - Oscar-winning filmmaker, best-selling author, the nation's unofficial provocateur laureate-is back, this time taking on an entirely new role, that of his own meta-Forest Gump.
Breaking the autobiographical mode, he presents 24 far-ranging, irreverent, and stranger-than-fiction vignettes from his own early life. One moment he's an 11-year-old boy lost in the Senate and found by Bobby Kennedy; and in the next, he's inside the Bitburg cemetery with a dazed and confused Ronald Reagan. Fast-forwarding to 2003, he stuns the world by uttering the words "We live in fictitious times...with a fictitious president" in place of the expected "I'd like to thank the Academy".
And none of that even comes close to the night the friendly priest at the seminary decides to show him how to perform his own exorcism.
Capturing the zeitgeist of the past 50 years, yet deeply personal and unflinchingly honest, Here Comes Trouble takes listeners on an unforgettable, take-no-prisoners ride through the life and times of Michael Moore. No one will come away from this book without a sense of surprise about the Michael Moore most of us didn't know. Alternately funny, eye-opening, and moving, it's a book he has been writing-and living-his entire life.

Anything is PossibleAny additional comments?
A "wandering minstrel" singing out loud his beliefs and mission throughout his life, not taking no for an answer and questioning everything. The stories are sometimes sad, sometimes unjust, sometimes uplifting but always leave you with a sense of "The World needs more Michael Moores"Micheal Moore is a Troubadour

I highly recommend this audio book on its own merits. But if you are looking for American history from the perspective of a person from the middle in the 60's and 70's, this book is a must-listen.
Very Entertaining!!

For one thing, I remember being puzzled a few years back when my father suddenly announced, "Michael Moore hates America." As my dad hadn't been to the movies in years, I was surprised he even knew who Michael Moore was, and if you have ever seen one of MM's movies, you know that he might hate many things, but America is not among them. This mystery was cleared up in the opening essay of this book, confirming for me at least that part of the story was true. A couple of the more amazing stories have photographic evidence in the accompanying PDF. (It's a nice touch that Audible listeners get the photos that go with this book, unlike so many others on Audible).
Lest this sound like the book is all self-aggrandizement, I would like to say that is not so. Michael Moore does not shy away from telling us embarrassing or shameful things about himself, but I wouldn't like to give any spoilers here. His voice is honest, funny, and filled with the emotion that make his movies such masterpieces of cinematic art. He is a good movie maker because he is a good storyteller, and I can only hope that there are more of these books to come!
As good as any of his movies!

What did you love best about Here Comes Trouble?
Didn't realize Michael's history, starting with the trouble he stirred up when he was 17 and received his first invitation to address congress. Lots of amazing and surprising stories in here!What was one of the most memorable moments of Here Comes Trouble?
When Michael pestered Roger Ebert to attend his film premiere. Also, the phone call from John Lennon.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I listen when I run or when I commute. Time flew!Any additional comments?
Moore showed good enthusiasm in his reading. He took a very conversational tone.No wonder Michael thought he'd write a book.

My favorite part was when he had to hire Navy Seals as body guards. When someone hires Seals you know they are in deep trouble and could be killed. Old ex-cop security was not an option.
There was not a dull moment in the book. This was unusual for me but I went back and listened to many chapters again.
Couldn't stop listening
