    About this audiobook

    His name is Failure. Timmy Failure. And his detective agency is on the verge of global domination. Global riches. Global fame. And yet the gods keep throwing him curveballs: for starters, academic probation. The coveted Miracle Report is the key to everything, including a good grade. It's dirty business. It's best you know nothing. But one thing is for sure: Timmy Failure will be triumphant again!

      I'm enjoying reading this series to my youngest, now eleven. It's quirky and when it comes to reading aloud, quirky is my game.I'm not sure if I've just come to expect the quirkiness from this series and have become a little numb to it, but I don't think this novel as a whole was as overall funny as its predecessors (though it starts out great.) Still, I look forward to the rest of the series.
    • 4/5
      Timmy is back for a brand new adventure and Pastis definitely doesn't disappoint. It keeps you engaged from page one up until the last page (or minute as I had an audio book copy). It starts out with Timmy stuck between a rock and a hard place as a bit of a teaser and then the rest of the book starts from the beginning of this segment of Timmy's tale up to that point and a bit beyond. His tendency to over think things and get into trouble are never ending, but also definitely a cause for laughter. While I cannot comment on the pictures or layout of the book, I will say that the guy who read the book for the audio book did a phenomenal job. I tend to be a bit more wary of audio books that do not have a full cast audio. However, this reader was engaging and made sure to have different voices for each character. It really helped to keep track of who was talking and made it more entertaining to listen to by far. So, parents do not fear, if your kid wants to listen to Timmy Failure on long car rides and you have to be stuck listening to it as well, its an entertaining book that should please both your child and you.Overall, there is definitely a lot of wit and humor in this book. It is great for its target audience and probably can be enjoyed by many kids. It is entertaining and the chapters are not too long, each one ending at a good stopping point. Definitely a worthwhile audio book as well.(*Note: I was given a copy of this book through Goodreads Giveaways in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and are not influenced in any way. )
    • 4/5
      A fun and funny book about a boy detective, his polar bear sidekick, who finds himself partnered with his arch nemesis on an important science project, critical for getting him out of academic probation. Well worth listening to.

      " If you’re one of the three people in the world who have not read the prior volumes of my memoir,...." I was one of the three! I was fortunate enough to get it through the Early Reviewer program. I was hoping to find a good book for my great nephew. What I got was a book that had me laughing out loud. The book is clever, funny, original. The narrator, Jared Goldsmith, brilliant, ageless, endlessly engaging. It is a book that could be played on the car CD player and enjoyed by people of all ages. A keeper.
    • 4/5
      Jared Goldsmith does an excellent job reading this third installment in the Timmy Failure series. Within minutes I began hearing the characters as distinct people and personalities. I particularly admired his vocalization of the sound of footsteps thudding over a wooden bridge. I’d purchased the first Timmy Failure book shortly before receiving this audiobook and as I knew I’d be reviewing the audio, I decided to not read Book One first. Thus, I can assure you, if you are "one of the six people out there who have book three and haven’t yet read books one and two", you will be able to follow the storyline just fine. As a matter of fact, I found it more interesting having plunged right in with the third book. After I finished, I happily read the first to discover why Timmy feels the way he does about certain of his classmates. Pros to this story: Jared Goldsmith’s excellent rendition of Timmy’s long-suffering mother; the intriguing character of Total, the polar bear; getting to know Corrina Corrina through the eyes of Timmy, who does not understand her (or anyone for that matter) at all.Cons: I wanted to connect with Timmy. I could tell that he is limited in his abilities to express emotions and understand others, but since I never saw anyone working with him to help him develop some skills, it became easy to think of him as an annoying kid with no conscience. I look forward to the next book in this series, both to see how the author continues to refine and shape the character of Timmy, and because I’m now quite interested in Corrina Corrina.

      A great audio cd set of Timmy Failure:We Meet Again. It had me grining,smiling and laughing out loud as I drove. I must listen to when you need a good chuckle.
    • 5/5
      This was a hilarious book. Timmy Failure is a funny character. I love the voices on the audio book. The characters are fun to meet and listen to. The story is short and entertaining. Well written and a break for a busy day. Will definitely listen to more Timmy Failure stories to come.
    • 5/5
      Academic Probation: Words that can strike fear into any student or parent. Yet, those are the words that Timmy Failure hears and fears. Still trying to dominate the detective world with his imaginary sidekick, Total the Polar Bear, Timmy is confronted, confused, and infuriated with his mom, his coach, his friends, and his fr-enemies. A huge science project with a very unlikely partner is looming and his grade will determine the outcome of his probation. You may say Timmy is lonely, Timmy is delusional, Timmy is out-of-control, but when he finds a kindred spirit with an imaginary emperor penguin as a confidant, you begin to see his softer, more vulnerable side. Timmy Failure: We Meet Again is absolutely magically dark when enjoyed in the audio form. Jared Goldsmith is none other than amazing when capturing Pastis's characters. His voice and inflection, cadence and timing are superb. I don't think I would have enjoyed this book half as much had I simply read it...although I did miss out on the illustrations. Having listened to this book in the series, I'm hooked. Timmy is one Eeyore-ish character that I won't soon forget! Thank you to LibraryThing's Early Reviewer Program, Stephan Pastis, and Recorded Books for this delightful audio version.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this CD version. The narrator voice is entertaining to listen to. Many of my students have read and reread the Wimpy Kid Series, so it's nice to have another book along those lines to recommend; something new for them to try that's in the same realm of sketch book comedy.
    • 5/5
      Timmy Failure is back with his pet polar bear Total and their detective firm, "Total Failure." I have been searching for a series my family can listen to in the car on long trips that is appropriate for the youngest but engaging to the teens and adults, and this was a big hit. My husband had never read any of the Timmy Failure books but really appreciated this volume.As always, Timmy goes about life convinced of his own greatness and the failings of others, while oblivious to the real life struggles of his mother, his friends, and the other adults at school trying to focus him and help him. The humor of the disconnect between his vision and the reality, the priorities the real world has, and the inability to suspend disbelief occasionally all make this a perfect family listen or read.
    • 4/5
      I love this series! The farther along we get, the more layered and sympathetic our characters get. Timmy is still wildly overconfident, but there is an underlying insecurity that drives everything, and Pastis is wisely letting readers see the cracks slowly and put the pieces together on their own. And it remains hysterical, laugh-out-loud funny.
