I wasn't expecting to like this book at all. I chose it on the fly to listen to as an audiobook. I was not disappointed. It was completely humorous. The novel rotated through three points of view, Edward VI, Lady Jane Grey, and Gifford Dudley. It definitely borrowed from the likes of the Princess Bride, Shakespeare, and Monty Python. There were some irritating parts, like when it quoted too much from those sources. In the end, I did really like it.

Variety of genres
The men from Indiana have done it again. They have blended a variety of genres, decades, and themes to make another entertaining albumn. My teenage kids ask for me to replay some songs while there are others that I remember listening to while in the car with my mom when I was a kid. The mashups and humorous change in words and the classic renditions lead to another classic SNC albumn.

I read this book based upon @Sarah 's review. I don't typically read books like this; I genuinely liked this book a lot. It was humorous, and I liked the very small sci-fi element with the AIs. It was kind of predictable, but it didn't make me enjoy it less. The AIs themselves had very amusing personalities, and I liked the contrast between Aiden and the psychopath AI. I really liked all of the characters as well.

Shazam!!
I thought this movie was very good. But for a superhero movie I felt like it had more foul language and scary parts than your average hero film. I wouldn't reccomend bringing younger kids if they get scared easily. I did enjoy the humorous parts, and the part of the sidekick played by Jack Dylan Grazer was great. The writing was good, and Mark Strong as the villain is always a good choice.

When PI Charlie Swift is saddled with a new partner, she does everything she can to get this new woman to quit the business. Meanwhile, she has to track down the missing mother of a baby. The book has an odd combination of humorous and serious, but it really works. I liked the characters and can't wait to visit them again.

Okay, this book is easily taking my best of the year humor & biography. Anna Kendrick wrote this book just like she tweets. It's hilarious and extremely entertaining.
I listened to the audiobook and I was not disappointed. Anna Kendrick reads it herself and is just amazing. He stories were thought provoking, humorous, a tad embarrassing, and just a great read.
If you're looking for a great audiobook/book, this is for you. I was laughing constantly and I could not put it down.

Fascinating and tragic - a journey into the human brain
Oliver Sacks, the late eminent British neurologist, is wonderfully curious and compassionate while journeying into people's experiences of the human brain. It is both humorous in some aspects but mostly tragic and terrifying to see how fragile human beings truly are. It is explained in the simplest of terms, though there is still a lot of scientific jargon. And some particular cases such as the disembodied woman and the man with nightmares is rather frightening. Fantastic read.

Realistic not Hollywood style thriller
Luke Smitherd has done another great job in bringing to life characters facing inexplicable terror. Chris, the protagonist, is both humorous and human - making misguided choices based on the little experiences that he had. The man in white is a brilliant villain, odious through his fake good humour and his macabre outlook of life. I really wish we could've found out how and why the man in white chose his victims and not just just how he picked his pawns. Would recommend!
