review 1: Only marginally less offensive than Audible's other freebie from last month-- "The Nerd's Guide to Being Confident." I personally think the woman who wrote this and the man who wrote the "Nerd's Guide" should get together, have lots of snarky, foul-mouthed, cynical children, and spend the rest of their days congratulating each other on being the smartest people in the room. Just please don't blog about it.
review 2: This was a disappointment almost from the beginning, but I kept listening and hoping that it would get better. It never did.A note for the author: swearing should be used sparingly and for specific effect when writing. In your work you seem to think that it will make you appear to be hip and edgy. Quite frankly, my everyday language is peppered ... morewith more swearing than I should probably use, and even I found your use of it to be inappropriate and annoying.Overall, I really found the entire work to be insulting and obnoxious rather than amusing. I suspect that they were going for wry and dry, but really they only achieved rude and crude. The author managed to insult nearly everyone, and not in the amusing Mel Brooks movie kind of way. I am not a Christian, and due to being a non-Christian who lives in the Bible Belt I have little patience with people who wave the Bible in my face all of the time, but even I felt that the author went too far in their blatant abuse of those who believe in the tenets of Christianity. I also strongly resented the author's blanket statements regarding the personality types of various other groups, some of whom I belong to and some I do not. That kind of specious stereotyping has no place in any kind of work that expects to be taken seriously in the professional writing world.All in all this was a great disappointment. Even though it was a free download, it wasn't worth the money. I strongly recommend that if you are considering getting this audiobook, you skip it and look for something else. less
