My Father, the Negotiator
Review of the Audible Original audiobook (September 2019)
Note: Some foul language.

[3.5 rounded up]
Rich Cohen's Herbie is a series of anecdotes relating to Cohen’s father Herb Cohen, known as the author of You Can Negotiate Anything: How To Get What You Want (1980). Even the stories of Rich Cohen’s own writing and career become the basis for Herb’s reaction to them, primarily as a case for his argument that his son should instead be applying to law school. The centrepiece of the memoir is a conflict that Rich had with a writing professor in his early college years. Rich stopped caring about the incident shortly afterwards, but his father kept pursuing it beyond any sort of normal persistence, simply in order to make a point with the college faculty that youthful creativity should not be stifled.

The memoir was quite entertaining and was narrated well by the author.

Herbie was originally released in September 2019 and was also one of 10 Audible Original audiobooks available free for Audible members in the month of June 2020. It is available to everyone for a standard price. ( )
