This would have been easier to listen to if the author/narrator didn't sound half asleep all the time. some of it was amusing and interesting. Not my favorite book.

It seemed kind of slow at first, maybe even boring. When I really started to listen and give the stories a chance, I found it touches your heart and reminds you of the little things in life that really do remind you of love. And therefore matter. I found the stories insightful, positive and uplifting. Inspiring hope and sincerity into my life. While depressed and self centered, I found that relating to other peoples life events is human and love. Opening my mind and inviting love, I am glad I picked up this audiobook. Thank you.

Charming but Pointless

This one didn't do it for me. The author seems like a really nice person, and he had some very cute little stories, but I really didn't see any point to most of them. Maybe I'm just too shallow!

The narrator is a drone--I didn't last 5 mins with the monotonous cadence and boring narration.

I absolutely loved this book. The narrator's voice was soothing, NOT boring. He told the stories with great zest and comedy. I highly recommend the book to anyone and everyone.

I agree...the most boring book

I agree with the other reader - I couldn't finish this book (never got beyond the first cd in fact) because the reader's voice was so monotone and slow! Perhaps the content was there - I just couldn't hear it!

The most boring book I've rented so far

Written by Glen B from Lehi, UT on January 21st, 2006

I would give this book a zero if I could. It's so boring. Let's all be fair and nice was the theme. He is so monotone and void of energy. This is the only book I didn't listen to the whole thing. I couldn't because it was so painful.
