julie bjulie b: Book is in like New condition. The sleeve on book was a little worn at the ends. But thats it nothing else wrong. No spine creases, no soiled pages or smells So the amount I paid was great deal vs $20 & $29 price else where. Only thing that kinda annoyed me was they forgot to take the $3.00 sticker off cover, I bought it for $7.99 but still good deal overall

MapleFalcon: Mo is witty and charming on NPR’s Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! If you like him there, you will like him here. You will also get to know more about his quirky personality and back-story. While, I for the most part enjoyed the book, I found it heavy-handed in being preachy and moralistic.

Dave Ball: Half way through which is about right to score this book at 50-50...very so-so..not much new or inspiring. Nicely package. But do you really care about non-existent topics like dragons?
And I note a glaring error in the section on the show Bewitched. It states Dick York replaced Dick Sargeant..uh-uh..it was the opposite !

Janet Chandler: I wasn't one for listening to podcasts until somewhat recently. Not that I have anything against podcasts, was just always into reading and listening to other things. But then one Sunday morning while watching CBS Sunday Morning Mo Rocca was on talking about his new podcast "Mobituaries". I'm a huge fan of Mo and I decided then and there it was time to get into podcasts and I would start with Mo Rocca's one. Definitely one of my better decisions in life. It is a delightful, informative and entertaining podcast while secretly at the same time educational. Mo is I find one of those kind of individuals that you just enjoy listening to talk. He makes any subject worth your time to stop and hear what he has to say. I swear he could read to you in Chinese a book on quantum physics and you would hang onto every word he says.
So having said all that when Mo mentioned a few months back that he had out a new book titled (you guessed it) "Mobituaries" I didn't just want to get the book. I had to have it. And I did get it. And I was glad I did. That's because Mo is as good at writing as he is at talking.
As you might surmise his book follows along the same lines as the podcast....
