The Dangerous Animals Club Audiobook

" A lot more crazy shit has happened in Stephen Tobolowsky's life than you'd think. "

" Like other reviewers, I picked this up after becoming a fan of the Tobolowsky Files (podcasts). I was pleased to find TDA contains original stories rather then repeats from the podcasts. I highly recommend the audiobook over the "e" or paper version. "

" A rehash of stories I heard on the Tobolowsky Files but some new ones too. Excellent as always! "

" Quite entertaining, but perhaps too all over the place for me. I particularly enjoyed the essays on what an actor's life and work was like. To me, the book would have benefited from a more linear approach. "

" The Dangerous Animals Club by Steven Tobolowsky (Simon & Shuster 2012)(Biography) is a funny and well-written memoir of the making of an actor. This volume follows the writer from his early years through his days in the acting departments of SMU and the University of Illinois. This guy can write! An interesting piece of trivia is that many readers (myself included) will recall having seen Tobolowsky in the movie "Groundhog Day." He plays the abrasively hilarious insurance salesman who remembers Bill Murray's from their school days and who accosts him on the street - over and over and over. Remember him? That's Stephen Toboloswky! My rating: 7/10, finished 10/1/12. "

" Fan of his podcast, he is one of my favorite storytellers. Many of the stories in this book were covered in detail from Tobolowsky Files podcast or else it would be a 5 star must read. "

" This was a great vacation book: Very enjoyable, often insightful and funny, although rarely in the way I expected. I'll never think of Ned Ryerson the same way again -- and again and again! "

" Love the stories, love the insights, love the voice. I stretched out listening to Stephen Tobolowsky read his stories so I could savor them. I hope he comes out with another volume of stories in the future. "

" Great stories, interesting life of a Hollywood insider. "

" Stephen Tobolowsky is a genius! "

" Alternately thought-provoking and funny memoir of a great character actor. This book is a pure pleasure to read. "

" Fun and easy to read. I would love to have this guy around for a dinner party!! "

" One of my favorite autobiographies so far -- tight, humorous and even thought-provoking at times. This was a fast and interesting read even at over 300 pages. Well done Ned Ryerson. Well done. "

" Thoroughly enjoyable and uplifting. A mostly delightful, sometimes melancholy real-life journey. "

" He also does an excellent podcast called " the Tobolowsky files" "

" I didn't expect so much from the guy screaming "Phil? Phil Connors?" This book is stories from his life that will make you think about how you live your own. Very well written and fun to read. "

" What a marvelous collection of stories. Who'd have thought that the man behind Ned Ryerson had so many wonderful stories and such a wonderful voice with which to tell them. And the beautiful nuggets of truth and wisdom sprinkled throughout. Read me! "

" What a glorious storyteller! If you have a chance to see Stephen Tobolowsky in person, do! He hits just the right note ...happy, poignant. Sad, the highs and lows of growing up, establishing a career, of relationships, family, competitiveness, etc. "

" This book is probably better to listen to on a long car drive. Read 2 chapters of book. Put it down and not motivated to read any further. "
