Resumen del Editor
What Peter Biskind did for filmmaking, Richard Zoglin does for comedy in this meticulously researched and eminently readable account of stand-up comedy in the 1970s, when a small group of brilliant, iconoclastic comedians ruled the world and quite possibly changed it, too.

Five years ago, the US Space Force became a reality. And while those writing the checks took things very seriously, the other military branches did not. As a result, Space Force was populated by undesirables. My name is Captain Ethan Stone, a decorated member of SEAL Team Six turned Space Force "recruit". Flash forward five years and between tenses. President West is in office. Power has shifted. And Space Force is defunded. With just a handful of us still living on base, we find ourselves being evicted. But before all of us can leave, aliens invade.

Historia
Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Historia
“The Heron” is the nickname a big-city accountant has attached to himself in his new home near San Diego, where he’s using the alias to avoid a hit man who may be after him. It seems a former client believes that The Heron has skipped town with several million dollars not his own. Don Winslow’s ensuing, entertaining yarn is by turns twisty, dark, and comical as we observe the delicate dance between the pursuer and the pursued.

Historia
What would happen if a shy introvert lived like a gregarious extrovert for one year? If she knowingly and willingly put herself in perilous social situations that she’d normally avoid at all costs? Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life.

Historia
Samantha is a professional seductress and con artist with a heart of gold. If she talked about her work, she’d tell you she only pilfers organs for medical research and that she only takes one kidney, and she only steals those kidneys from dishonest people. It’s hell on her social life. Abe is the doctor and Sam's partner in crime. He isn’t much of a criminal. Except for the kidney stealing. But he’s using that money to fund his research that he anticipates will be able to cure diabetes. So, all for a good cause...? You decide. Of course, it's hell on his social life.

Doesn't cover all of the 70's but still good
It is a daunting task to write a book about all of the comedians in the 70's. The author is biased on a couple and spends most of his time on them while ignoring others, but that doesn't mean its not a good read/listen. As for some that were mentioned it is debatable whether they could be considered "in the 70s". But it was still a very good book detailing the beginnings of some of the great comedians. It laid out a part of their career I was not aware of (because it was before my time) which made for very good material. I thought the narrator was very good. He also had a daunting task of narrating a book and actually performing some of the comedian's lines as they would have delivered them. In some cases I smiled more at the narrator's ability to deliver one-liners of black comedians than the actual one-liners themselves.

100 percent truth!
If you always wondered "What is Scientology" than this is the audible for you. very precise detailed exciting account of Scientology. I was a Los Angeles member in 1997 to 2007. My uncle is John Travolta and I joined on my own out of curiosity. I was not given any special treatment because I was a OT's relative. I quit and bought an anti-scientology book but not did not get to finish it. I was a victim of Operation Freak Out where you are framed for something you did not do, then you run to a county psyche ward and they label you schizophrenic so nobody believes you. After I got out of the hospital I was given the FAIR GAME treatment. Which is to destroy and isolate you until you kill yourself. If you want a good scare and a good comedy all in one this is the one for you. It's long but it's worth it. Everything in this audible I have seen first hand. I wish this audio was around before i joined.

Stentorian Narrator sucks the life out of this one
The book's content is fine; it's a little academic and dry given the personalities involved. The narrator really killed this for me - his voice and style are very "Older Corporate White Guy," which makes the book feel like your'e stuck in a never-ending meeting. It's stentorian, authoritative, yet somehow still dry, humorless, and almost marmish. The final straw is the copious use of n-words and the author doing "black voices," especially in the Richard Pryor chapter. YIKES.
