Digging Up Mother: A Love Story

Doug Stanhope | 2016 | Biography, Humor & Comedy

8.0

(1 Ratings)

Book Rating

Crude, hilarious, and sombre at times

Listened to on Audible.

For all lovers of gonzo, Doug Stanhope reaches the top of the list of crude humour, insane experiences muddled in with bittersweet memories.

This autobiography is hilarious, and the only way to read it, is to listen to it, given there are so many 'director's comments', in which Doug and his friends discuss the incident at hand. Also the fact that he is drunk at times and will loudly burp just adds to the book so much more than skimming through the pages. While the majority is about him, it premises around his mother's life and death which have ultimately shaped him. She's no ordinary mother that's a fact.

From being a pyromaniac as a child, a teen male prostitute to telephone salesman, Stanhope has had an interesting life mixed in with drugs, alcohol, women and stand up comedy. And while you do think he's a bit of a so-and-so, it's still very funny. A great listen.

Interactive Gold

If you like the interactive type choice games, then Detroit Become Human is for you. I was really intrigued by the trailers for this game and thought , why not. I was not disappointed. You follow the story of Marcus, Kara and Connor. Their fate depends on you! Yes...choices made in this game affects the outcome of their particular storyline. It means their life or death. Yes you will find yourself getting attached to these characters and then a choice you make can mean the end of their life. These are not people you are controlling...they are androids. Androids who have developed a sense of right and wrong amd want to be independent and treated the same as humans. Of course there are many different outcomes. It can end good for everyone involved, end bad for everyone involved or a mixture. Again...it depends on you. I would recommend this game to anyone who loves the "interactive movie" type games. I am sure you will love it as much as I do.

I died on a Thursday-killed by a monster intent on stealing my soul. The good news? He didn't get it. The bad news? Turns out not even death will get you out of high school... Covering up her own murder was one thing, but faking life is much harder than Kaylee Cavanaugh expected. After weeks spent "recovering," she's back in school, fighting to stay visible to the human world, struggling to fit in with her friends and planning time alone with her new reaper boyfriend. But to earn her keep in the human world, Kaylee must reclaim stolen souls, and when her first assignment brings her face-to-face with an old foe, she knows the game has changed. Her immortal status won't keep her safe. And this time Kaylee isn't just gambling with her own life...

It was ok! I usually devour these books but this took a little longer. I’m so bored of Nash and things were just meh. I was a little disappointed and got a little bored in places! But still gotta love a Vincent book!
