Hilarious and Unf**gettable

Where does The Motherf--ker with the Hat rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Motherf--ker with the Hat?

See below...but also, the opening scene when Veronica was on the phone with her mother was astonishing.

Which scene was your favorite?

All of them. It was especially riveting when the true identity of the Motherf***er With the Hat was revealed.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laughed at the beginning; cried at the end.

Any additional comments?

As good as watching the stage play; Bobby Canavale was to die for.

this was unexpected. I really enjoyed it. If you are not sure about what book to listen to this is a good one.

Just what I needed!

I desperately wanted to see this play when it came to Broadway, but was not able to make it to NYC. It was awesome to be able to hear this rendition, which is just like being in the audience. I was finally able to answer the question as to who is the m#thafu*$a with the hat!

Next Best Thing to Live

I wanted to see this show in person but couldn't. Listening was the next best thing! Absolutely brilliant performances!

Good Repetitive Good Night Story

At some point in my mid 40s I realized I actually still like both bedtime stories and performance narratives. In combination with great actors, realistic characters, and fairly good humor this story has become a favorite. It is for mature audiences which I appreciate and the vulgarity reminds me of my community. If you’re interested in dainty or classical theater you may want to pass on this one, but if you like grit and edgy storylines about everyday MFs prepare for a listen so fun you may find yourself “fiending” for more.

wow

this was very good, well acted an written. I was pleased with the sound quality as well.

Superb voice acting from Bobby Cannavale!

Listening to this play felt like watching a movie. I have liked Bobby Cannavale in everything I have ever seen him appear in, but his passionate performance in The Motherf--ker with the Hat cemented him as a top tier actor in my mind.

The story of Jackie, a deeply flawed ex-con who seems to subconsciously sabotage every good thing in his life, was interesting throughout. Tons of drama, humor, and some thought provoking morality questions made this Audible play extremely enjoyable.

Chris Rock's performance was also stellar.

Pursuit of American Dream

Very well performed and short, gripping story! Seems crude but the crudeness is underlined by a story of pursuit of the American Dream.

it was ok

it was funny and on point and quick but otherwise nothing outstanding. I know it's ironic but there didn't need to be that much swearing

Third listening is the best so far.

First listen: Hysterical.
Second: Admiring.
Third: Touchingly poignant.
Fourth listening is Inevitable.

Sharing with friends.
