Customer Reviews
Pretty Good
I like this book review podcast for the most part and enjoy listening to Stephen, Meghan and Julia, but Katie is annoying. The others seem to be more open-minded and willing to listen to and respect each others' opinions but Katie argues to the death with anyone that disagrees with her, constantly speaks over everyone else, and doesn't let anyone finish a sentence. She sounds like a petulant little kid.
COOL
This Is A Good Way To Read And discover cool books
Metcalf rocks!
The discussion about 'Eat, Pray, Love' is hilarious! Stephen Metcalf's critique is brilliant and the snarkiness between him and the annoying Katie person made me laugh out loud. It was a terrible book...great discussion.
