I didn't enjoy the story much as it focused a lot on the protagonist's self-absorption and it wasn't particularly hilarious. Perhaps if I were still in my twenties, I might have connected with it more.
The audiobook 'Life of the Party: Stories of a Perpetual Man-Child' is a repetitive compilation of typical fraternity storylines that most of us are already familiar with. It revolves around the usual scenario of people gathering at a pub the following day to discuss their wild night, which feels unoriginal and lacks novelty. It fails to provide any unique or interesting perspective, making it difficult for listeners to feel engaged or invested in the narrative. Unfortunately, this audiobook is unlikely to leave a lasting impression and may even be considered a waste of time.
Bert is hands down the most phenomenal narrator I've ever come across! Seriously, he should be the go-to narrator for all audiobooks out there! Let's all bow down to The Machine!
Bert really brings it in this book, whatever "it" may be. He shares all the hilarious and thrilling moments from his life, as well as the not-so-great and cringe-worthy ones. Plus, his narration adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the listening experience. This is a must-have for any comedy enthusiast.
I absolutely adored it. To truly appreciate it, you need to have a specific sense of humor. Bert resonates with me and my buddies, as his storytelling skills and comedic timing are spot-on. It's quite astonishing that he hasn't achieved more fame and recognition yet.
I was skeptical about giving this audiobook a shot, but I ultimately decided to give it a go. I found myself bursting into laughter multiple times and even shedding a few tears towards the end. Bert was true to his usual vulgar self, but it's what makes him so compelling. Surprisingly, I didn't even mind the extra bits that perhaps should have been edited out, as they ultimately played to Bert's advantage. I highly suggest this book to anyone who is a fan of this specific comedian's stand-up.
Burnt Chrysler is the ultimate choice to tell these crazy tales. It's absolutely worth giving a listen, especially on a road trip or when you're feeling a bit blue.
