It's Not Easy Being a Goddess [Audiobook, Unabridged] [Audio CD]

Barbara McBride-Smith (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 27, 2006

Award-winning storyteller Barbara McBride-Smith breathes life albeit a wizened Texan version into the old Greek myths. With her incurable Texas drawl, she spins the Greek myths as you've never heard them before, rendering them 99% more fun while retaining 100% of their original insights into the crooked ways of the human heart and the no-less crooked ways of the ancient Greek gods.

Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

[Editor's Note: This is a combined review with THE BUTTON BOX and GOOD OLD BOYS.]--Audiophiles who want to experience Texas through the voice of someone other than "W." will be delighted with storyteller Barbara McBride-Smith's recordings. In IT'S NOT EASY BEING A GODDESS, McBride-Smith delivers witty versions of Greek myths, mostly ones that relate to goddesses, in a clear, plain Southwest accent. In GOOD OLD BOYS: AND THE WOMEN WHO LOVE THEM, McBride-Smith riffs on biblical tales and more Greek myths and even relocates Olympians to the Lone Star State in present day. Remarkably expressive, she vocalizes her work in a distinctive comic style. In THE BUTTON BOX, a tribute to her mother, McBride-Smith demonstrates Mama's unenviable singing style while sharing memorable lessons that can't be obscured by sour notes and botched lyrics.
