And this just isn't my version of funny. I've met people who work in hotels who do a better job of telling funny stories than these authors. They also should not have narrated their own book. ( ) I was expecting more of a narrative from this, but instead it is a fun book to browse through and dabble in. Read a bit here and bit further on. Attractive and inviting layout. Fascinating stories, funny insights. Good for bathroom reading. Fun to share. Thank you to Blogging for Books for sharing this title with me in exchange for an honest review. A surprisingly good read! This book is full of anecdotal stories and quips from two concierges who work in various hotels in NYC. Too many of these writings on this kind of subject seem whiny. Waitresses complaining about kids, bartenders complaining about mixing drinks, etc. Too often these kinds of people seem to forget that it's not the customer's job to make their lives easy and to hand out extravagant tips. Fortunately, this book stays away from that and takes pain to emphasize that they are only talking about those customers who are truly odd or mean. The title (which made me hesitate) is actually a lot meaner than the book itself. How May We Hate You grew out of a very successful Tumbler (with the same name) written by two young comedians that took jobs in the hospitality business to support themselves. If you like your humor served with some snark and a little nastiness on the side, then you’ll find this quite entertaining and at times laugh-out-loud funny. The book is filled with stories and commentary on the crazy things that people do and say. At only three hours long, it’s short enough to not wear out its welcome with repetition or excessive snark, and was long enough to give me a humorous reading break. Audio production The authors performed the narration themselves often using a conversational dialog or questions and answers. They did a great job that only added to the entertainment value of the book. It was an easy listen and one I would recommend to new audio listeners or those wanting to try the format. It is also a good choice for the car, especially if you make a lot of short trips as there is no plot to forget and the stories are all short. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
