An insignificant, blue-green planet is the stop in the fifth volume of the Hitchhiker's "triology." The main character is Random, the child of Arthur Dent and Trillian. Her travels to find out the truth about her mother take her to a little planet, a.k.a. "Earth," whose only entry in the Guide reads, "Mostly harmless..."

Lots of fun, but a little depressing at the end
Revisado: 01-29-03
I won't say why I find the end a little depressing -
anyone who's read the book/series will understand.
However, you've *got* to get this audiobook. I personally
think the first chapter is the amoungst the best and funniest
introductions to a book ever written (especially as read by
Douglas Adams himself). If the rest had been as good I'd be
giving the book 6 stars.

I think an abridged version of this program would have
been better. The narration is good and the material is
interesting, but when you get about 10 minutes straight
on wardrobe buying advice it gets to be a little much.
Definitely worth a listen though.

Welcome to the wonderful world of under-evolved bosses, style-of-the-week buzzword management, hapless coworkers, and other worthy fodder. Sound like your company? Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic strip about a harried but determined '90s antihero, brings you his hilarious take on the bizarre realities of life in corporate America.

Revisado: 01-29-03
I've bought all of Scott Adams' titles at Audible
(there are actually 3, but only 2 seem to come
up on Audible's search engine).
A lot of the material is repetitive (over the 3 titles),
but every so often you'll come across an observation
that makes you laugh out loud, instead of just smiling.

Every manager learns from the same source: Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook. This valuable management handbook teaches new managers how to transform themselves from bitter and bewildered "little people" into fully functioning, paradigm-spewing management zombies.

Funny because it's true
Revisado: 01-29-03
It's a worry that Scott Adams' humourous
observations seems to be so grounded in
everyday reality. You have a good laugh,
but then a terrible sense of dread settles
over you when you reflect on the state of
the world - I find it's better not to do
this and just laugh. :-)

Imagine, just 12 weeks from now, having the lean, healthy body you've always wanted and not having to turn your life upside down to get it. Imagine having the energy to be at your peak from dawn to dusk, having the confidence to do all the things you've been putting off, having the certainty to make the right decision at the right time, and knowing that you really do have the power to change, not just your body, but anything in this world you set your mind to.

Ok, but I found the
Revisado: 01-29-03
Firstly, I have to admit that I haven't actually
tried the program myself yet, even though I found
the book fairly interesting in parts.
My main problem with it is that a fair bit of it
feels like advertising - people's personal accounts
of how their life changed after taking up the program.
I found this to be annoying and the book seemed to end
abruptly. In other words, I felt this book would have
been better as an abridged audiobook (but then it would
have been too short).
Overall though, it was worth a listen.

Why we think it’s a great listen: It’s easy to say that when it comes to sci-fi you either love it or you hate it. But with Ender’s Game, it seems to be you either love it or you love it.... The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Enter Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, the result of decades of genetic experimentation.

6 titles in the series so far
Revisado: 01-29-03
Ender's Game is one of the best sci-fi books written.
However, I'm mainly writing this review to make others
aware that there are actually 6 books (so far) in the
series:
Ender's Game
Speaker for the Dead
Xenocide
Children of the Mind
Ender's Shadow
Shadow of the Hegemon
The last two books don't actually feature Ender at all -
they're about the character of Bean and the story of
what happened on Earth after Ender's Game.
All 6 books are fantastic. I've bought them all on
audiobook, but for some reason I can only seem to
find 4 of these titles using Audible's search engine
(and "Shadow of the Hegemon" seems to have been
renamed for some reason?).

The creator and host of the Emmy Award-winning TV Nation series recounts the most memorable moments on the show, such as the CEO Challenge - sure they can run huge corporations, but can the CEO of Phillip Morris roll a cigarette; has Baron Hilton ever made a bed; and can the Chairman of Citibank use an ATM? Also included on this audio are some ideas that kissed the cutting room floor.

Revisado: 01-29-03
This title is mainly Michael Moore reminiscing
about his TV show "The Awful Truth" (as it was
called in Australia), but it also includes
snippets of interesting sidelines e.g. how the
show came to be on the air in the first place.
Worth a listen.
P.S. And if you haven't seen "Hunting for Columbine"
at the movies yet, you've got to go.
