About this listen
Sepp Gregory, a reality-TV hunk and one of People magazine's "sexiest men alive", is on tour to promote his debut novel. Not that Sepp's actually read the book - he doesn't have to. He lived it! And everyone just wants him to take his shirt off. The book has hit the best-seller list and is even getting rave reviews from serious critics. Aside from Harriet Post, that is.
One of the blogosphere's most respected literary minds, Harriet fears that the novel's reception means the end of civilization is upon us. Determined to pen an expose on the publishing industry, Harriet hijacks the book tour and uncovers the ghostwriter. Reality and "reality" collide, and a tragic accident sends Sepp and Harriet off on a sex-fueled roadtrip through the Southwest.
Raw: A Love Story is Mark Haskell Smith at his raucous best, dangerously sexy and wickedly funny.

At just 35, reclusive billionaire Robbie Malcolm is a renowned financial prognosticator, a celebrated philanthropist, and a mathematical genius. Also, he’s dying, which is a fact he’s carefully concealing from the world. As he takes stock, Robbie realizes that his wealth means nothing if he can’t help the people who matter most. So he invites his oldest friends - Blair, Cat, and Wade - to their beloved Fenwick Island on the coast of Delaware to share his secret and to reveal plans for each of them that he believes will change their lives forever.

Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She’s a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together.

Beth Montgomery seems to have the perfect life: a beautiful house in the hills above Los Angeles, a handsome, ambitious husband, and plans of starting a family. So it doesn't occur to her to worry when the news breaks of a quadruple homicide across town, a botched drug deal that leaves an undercover officer among the dead. Beth certainly would never think to tie the murders to the sudden reappearance in her life of wild, sexy Cassie Ogilvy, the estranged best friend she hasn't seen since they were college roommates.

Outed and dumped on national television by his rising star boyfriend, Joey Nichols must face the bigotry of the locals in his small Southern town alone. His dreams of a happy-ever-after lie crushed at his feet. Novelist Troy Steele has an axe to grind against Hollywood heartbreaker types. Transforming Joey into a gorgeous, unobtainable hunk would be payback worthy of Troy’s poison pen. It's a brilliant way to get back at Joey’s image-obsessed ex-boyfriend and the movie producer who’s mutilating Troy’s novels.

HILARIOUS! ORIGINAL! HUGELY ENTERTAINING!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
There is nothing more healing than laughter. The world is a dark place and the more we laugh the more light we share. Some books are deep, some are poetic, some are dark and fascinating. But a book that can take your breath away with laughter is a great gift and this writer has that gift in spades.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Raw?
When poor Sepp Gregory, the book's protagonist, accidentally takes a viagra instead of something for his anxiety in the middle of a book signing. I can see it and hear it so vividly. I actually feel like I saw it.The results are heartbreaking and hysterical and the same time.
What does Peter Berkrot bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Pretty much everything!! He is simply fantastic. It's almost as if he and the author share the same mind, the same humor. His delivery is flawless. His characters are very lovingly expressed and very clearly delineated. And his comic timing is impeccable. I'm sure it would be fun to read. But it would seem like a black and white photograph instead of a movie. That's what this felt like.
Who was the most memorable character of Raw and why?
Definitely Sepp Gregory. I never imagined that I would fall in love with a brainless reality show celebrity. But the heart and the soul of the man is almost pure and childlike. In his shallowness he has more depth than many of the novel's more well grounded and intelligent characters. And the rest of the characters are great too.
Any additional comments?
I can't wait to hear more of this author's work. The humor is so contagious that I listened to this one with the same breathlessness as a suspense novel or a Stephen King book. And Mr. Berkrot was just wonderful!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
