Historia
This heartfelt Audible Original, narrated by Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress Mary-Louise Parker, follows three military veterans as they reclaim their most painful memories and turn them into comedy. Michael Garvey, Isaura Ramirez, and Patrick Harth left combat zones to challenge themselves in a stand-up comedy boot camp. As they learn to transform their raw emotions into cathartic experiences, they face the daunting challenge of trying to make an audience laugh with jokes about war, trauma, and mental health.

Nice to learn more about Mrs. Hudson
Revisado: 07-12-17
I really enjoyed getting a more detailed insight into Mrs. Hudson's story. Having the two different narrators was also nice. A nice addition to the series.

Good story -- hard to listen to
Revisado: 05-19-17
I enjoyed the storyline and the insights into that time of history. But the narrator was so bland I almost quit the book several times. Will not buy a book read by this narrator again.

Very enjoyable read...
Revisado: 12-22-16
I really enjoyed this book. I would've given it five stars except for the voices of some of the nurses. But don't let that deter you. All the characters seem very real and down to earth.
I didn't want the book to end.

Historia
Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a "wonderful" husband, his first reaction is shock. Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and Don sets out to find the perfect partner. She will be punctual and logical - most definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver. Yet Rosie Jarman is all these things. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent - and on a quest of her own....

Revisado: 11-09-16
The book started slow for me. However I highly recommend that you keep going – – it is a delightful read. Lots of insight, lots of humor, lots of fun. Well worth the credit.

Great book!!
Revisado: 07-20-16
I'm not a runner, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author's narration is spot on. He's a joy to listen to.
The history provided and side bars were a great addition.
All this said, I still don't plan to take up running…. But it does make me think about what would get me moving again.

Historia
The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a San Francisco Web-design drone - and serendipity, sheer curiosity, and the ability to climb a ladder like a monkey has landed him a new gig working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. But after just a few days on the job, Clay begins to realize that this store is even more curious than the name suggests. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything....

Delightful read
Revisado: 03-18-16
This book was a delight to read. A little long and convoluted; but entertaining and fun. Somewhat lightweight--which was actually a nice change of pace from murder and mayhem novels.

Historia
You will never read Denny Younger's name in any history book, will never know what he's done. But even if you did, you'd never believe it. The world as you know it wouldn't be the same without him. Denny was born into one of the lowest rungs of society, but his bleak fortunes abruptly change when the mysterious Upjohn Institute recruits him to be a Rewinder, a verifier of personal histories. The job at first sounds like it involves researching old books and records, but Denny soon learns it's far from it.

interesting premise
Revisado: 03-02-16
This was an OK book. The concept of time and how it can be altered was interesting.
I listened to the book at 1.25 – – it was just easier to listen to that way.
I'm glad I listen to the book, but don't know that I would listen to it again.

The beginning of the book is a little tedious. But it does pick up and get better and turns into a good read.

A lot of violence
Revisado: 01-05-16
The storyline was OK--this is a very hard subject that is going on all around us. The problem is that there is a lot of violence – – over-the-top. I sped up the narration which helped. But I don't know that I'll listen to a book like this again.
