Fans of Andy Cohen and his TV talk show won't be disappointed with his first memoir. In MOST TALKATIVE, Cohen talks your ear off, and you'll love every minute of it. Whether it's reading the letters he wrote his mother during summer camp, sharing how he revealed he was gay to his parents, or recounting his hilarious encounters with celebrities, Cohen sounds like a familiar friend. Because of his recognizable voice, this audiobook is the best format to hear Cohen's gossip on pop culture and how he worked his way up in the entertainment industry. Best of all, he laughs and enjoys his own stories right along you. D.Z. 2013 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine

James Michener tells the real stories behind the man and his books. The recording is read with skill and consistency although the reader does little to enhance the robust, larger-than-life incidents related in the book. Due to the first-person narrative format, there is no opportunity for the narrator to change his voice. This makes some chapters monotonous as they go on and on in the typical Michener style. The listener may also become confused because the stories are not told chronologically. This is not a great choice for the audio format, but Michener fans may stick with it to the end.

In a quest for a sense of inner contentment and self-worth, Gloria Steinem brings the reader on a journey of investigation and discovery. Steinem reads the text herself in a straightforward and friendly, but not intimate, presentation which is so easy to listen to it invites repetition--thus ensuring the painless relearning of the lessons of the book. It's difficult to tell from the reading that this audiobook is abridged; each section can stand alone. Nonetheless, the listener wished the book were unabridged. Steinem left me wanting to learn more.
