Title: The Way I Heard It Pdf
Emmy Award-winning gadfly Mike Rowe presents a ridiculously entertaining, seriously fascinating collection of his favorite episodes from America's number-one short-form podcast, The Way I Heard It, along with a host of memories, ruminations, and insights. It's a delightful collection of mysteries. A mosaic. A memoir. A charming, surprising must-have.
Mike Rowe's The Way I Heard It collects 35 fascinating stories "for the curious mind with a short attention span". Five-minute mysteries about people you know, filled with facts that you didn't. Movie stars, presidents, Nazis, rank traitors, and bloody do-gooders - they're all here, waiting to shake your hand, hoping you'll remember them. Delivered with Mike's signature blend of charm, wit, and ingenuity, their stories are part of a larger mosaic - a memoir crammed with recollections, insights, and intimate, behind-the-scenes moments drawn from Mike's remarkable life and career.
It was a pleasure from start to finish. The Way I Heard It by Mike Rowe is a very highly recommended collection of 35 of his favorite episodes followed by his personal stories.As Rowe explains,"Like The Rest of the Story, the mysteries in this book tell some true stories you probably don’t know, about some famous people you probably do. Your job is to figure out who or what I’m talking about before I get to the end. Inside, you’ll find thirty-five mysteries pulled from my podcast. Think of them as tiles in a mosaic. Each of these mysteries is followed by a personal recollection. Think of those as the grout that holds the tiles together. Like the flap copy says: Mystery and Memoir for the Curious Mind with a Short Attention Span."The Way I Heard It is a wildly entertaining collection of Rowe's favorite podcast episodes combined with a memoir. His personal anecdotes, stories, and memories, or the grout, is just as entertaining and delightful as the stories. Rowe has a personable, charming, down-to-earth manner which makes reading this a pleasure. Don't let the self-deprecating humor deceive you, the stories are all compelling and enticing, while the personal recollections are humorous, interesting, and diverting, as well as imparting some wisdom along the way.Once I started The Way I Heard It, I looked forward to reading more, saying "just-one-more-chapter" and thus it ended way-too-soon. It was a pleasure from start to finish. The writing is excellent. The Rest of the Story segments are interesting, and Rowe's stories are varied, interesting, and entertaining. This is one of the best nonfiction books of the year, especially if I base my choices on sheer pleasure while reading. All I can say is read this book. The Way I Heard It would be a great gift.Disclosure: My review copy was courtesy of Simon & Schuster.5 stars Great book with an excellent sense of humor. Will be one of my Christmas gifts to family this year!2019 Favorite book of the year. 6/5 stars. This will be my gift-giving Christmas 2019 book. It is so universal in its appeal. I couldn't put it down! I would savor a chapter then pick the book back up to see what the next story was about.Well researched chapters highlighting various people are tied into Mike's life experiences in such a natural way it was like listening to a friend tell you about his day.My favorite story was that of Alan Hale. Now i will have to be re-watching some old movies to spot him..I am left with a smile on my face and a happy heart after reading this book. Thank you Mike Rowe and Gallery Books (Simon & Schuster).I volunteered to read an ARC through Net Galley. I have purchased the first of many print copies of this book!
