Story
If there’s one trait that makes someone well-suited to comedy, it’s being able to take a punch - metaphorically and, occasionally, physically. Told with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, A Very Punchable Face reveals the brilliant mind behind some of the dumbest sketches on television, and lays bare the heart and humor of a hardworking guy - with a face you can’t help but want to punch.

Story
Make sure the kids aren’t around! Just because you’re a grown-up doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the art of the children’s bedtime story. Nick Offerman presents this collection of 12 short stories written in the style of a classic kids' tale, but with a decidedly dark and adult approach. What really happened after Snow White died, from the perspective of the one medically trained dwarf? A naive wizard professor reports back from the trenches of an underprivileged school of magic. And much more!

Elena Rudina lives in the impoverished Russian countryside. Her father has been dead for years. Her brothers have been conscripted into the Tsar's army and taken as servants in the house of the local wealthy landowner. Her mother is dying, slowly, in their tiny cabin. And there is no food.

I really enjoyed listening to this book. Narrator did a wonderful job.
Gregory Maguire twists fairy tales this way and that.
Takes a getting used to, but I am hooked on his story telling.

Story
Welcome to Wayward Pines, population 461. Nestled amid picture-perfect mountains, the idyllic town is a modern-day Eden - except for the electrified fence and razor wire, snipers scoping everything 24/7, and the relentless surveillance tracking each word and gesture. None of the residents know how they got here. They are told where to work, how to live, and who to marry. Some believe they are dead. Others think they're trapped in an unfathomable experiment. Everyone secretly dreams of leaving, but those who dare face a terrifying surprise.

I enjoyed this book. As much as the first Dan Brown Novel in this series.
Clues and all.
You felt like you were there in the story watching it unfold.
The narrator did a wonderful job - telling the story , keeping the characters clear and not over acting!

What a wonderful book. Who does not love Martin Short?
Growing up and watching SCTV with my family, and then reenacting every skit repeatedly until the next week, well, didn't we all ?
So anytime I get a chance to see his comedy I am there.
This is a fantastic audiobook, you will laugh and cry. But he reminds you to remain happy and remember the good times. Without actually saying or yelling it at you.
If you are a fan, it's a must. If you like biographies, this is my favorite.
I will listen to it many times.

Sad , but a story that needs to be told
Reviewed: 03-09-15
The narrator did an excellent job with the New Orleans lingo and pronunciations. This is not an easy task. We have a lot of names that don't sound like they look. And this can be distracting from the story.
This is a tale that should never be repeated. It needs to be told.
What a horrible horrible time it was.
