NEVER SHUT UP

THE LIFE, OPINIONS, AND UNEXPECTED ADVENTURES OF AN NFL OUTLIER

Even if the listener knows nothing about football, this audiobook will tick all the boxes: engaging--check, hilarious--check, informative--check. Wiley loves to talk, and he does an amazing job of describing his young life in the 'hood in Compton, California, and his rise and fall in the NFL. He establishes a connection with his audience so quickly that listeners will think they are having a one-on-one conversation with him. He chose to attend Columbia University because he wanted to be sure he could take care of his family should football not work out. Listeners will enjoy his comedic timing and his stories but need to be prepared for street talk throughout much of his presentation.

    THE WORLD IS MY HOME

    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.
