I'm not a metal fan, but I thought that this book was excellent, Robs no nonsense approach to life is refreshing.
He reads it very well and there's a wonderful subtle sense of humour throughout.

I enjoyed this book, very well read and well written. It tells the story of a nice caring guy working in a hostile environment for too long and with too little support. This should be a warning to anyone in the armed services or front line workers.

One slight issue is that the audio istn't as clear and the other audio books I've listened too, but it's still good enough. Great story teller, I recommend it highly.

I love Sandi, she's been a part of British comedy since I can remember, always very witty, intelligent and sharp. A great story teller. The premise for this book is great, pulling historical and personal stories from a bus route through London. That part of the book is fantastic, stories of Sandi's life come through in vivid and humorous detail, the problem is that dispersed between or as part of the narrative there's an activist over current going on. It's anti male (even though it seems a lot of Sandi's great relationships and helping hands have come from her male friends and her worst experiences at the hands of females), giving higher moral virtue to women and black people even if they've been clearly rude or obnoxious to her. I think we should treat all people with love and respect, it shouldn't matter your sexual preference, skin colour, height, gender. No one gets a free pass to treat you poorly because of their group identity. So I'm sorry to say I couldn't make it all the way through, the constant interruptions with virtue signalling turned me off what I'd hoped the book would be.

I listen to the No Such Thing as a Fish podcast and this book is an extension of that.
All the presenters are great and play off each other very well.

Murray lays out the arguments against some of the most ridiculous arguments posited by the SJW's. His arguments are well thought out and thorough while not being without humanity.
I'm not sure this book is aimed at conservatives and I wouldn't really call myself a conservative, I would say the book is logical and rational without being hyperbolic, it lays out the facts so you can see the poor thinking and blind ideology behind the woke activism.

Dave has worked with them all and is a great musician in his own right. You'll get some great stories about some of the biggest stars in the music business from Dylan, Petty, Harrison and of course Annie Lennox.
The stories move along nicely, Dave has a soft Newcastle accent which is great, but when he reads the book his voice goes up at the end of most sentences like he's asking a question, you get used to it after a while.

If you like David Spade's comedy you'll love this book.
It's quite short but packed with funny and embarrassing stories.

Tim's book is very inspirational, he comes from humble beginnings but with hard work, dedication and sacrifice he's made his way up to becoming an astronaut. Some great stories and adventures along the way. Tim comes across as a very likeable guy.
