The Adventures of Barry & Joe audiobook

I can honestly say I have no longer written the most bizarre take on Joe and Obama’s bromance.

I listened to this graphic novel on Audible and I am so glad I did! The "Bromance" theme song is HYSTERICAL! That's not half of what is so great about this book, however. I popped this in when I had my high school kids (aged 15 and 17 and stark raving Democrats thanks to the influence of their father) trapped in the car with me on a 45 minute ride home from one of those common kid summer things--band camp, choir auditions, etc. They rolled their eyes because I was playing YET ANOTHER AUDIOBOOK but as soon as the "Bromance" theme song played, they were hooked. "What is this?" they asked, trying to feign indifference. "Oh it's just a new Barry and Joe story I heard about and had to listen to," I said. "You know who Barry is, don't you?" Blank stares in answer to my question. "Barack!! Now shhhh and listen!" And then they listened and laughed, right along with me.We loved the far-fetched story and a favorite scene was Barry vs the giant Barack robot. I was amused by the science fiction terms--explained--in the last part of the book, but my kids actually did not know some of those so it turns out that the explanation was helpful for them. We are looking forward to replaying this for their dad when we head up to Minnesota's boundary Waters. He will LOVE this. Mr. Reid--you are a genius! I salute you and thank you for the family bonding experience. We want more adventures of these two characters please!!!!

I laughed out loud, got emotional, and overall enjoyed everything in this.

If you're a fan of Quantum Leap or U.S. 44, then this is the book for you.Moments after the 2016 inauguration, best friends and brothers from other mothers Barack Obama are escorted to a secret lab run by the world's greatest scientists. In a blink of an eye, they step into the time-continuum machine and vanish. Aided by their faithful guide, Samuel L. Jackson, who appears in the form of an augmented reality that only they can see and hear, Barry and Joe are traveling through time to fight the forces of Trump and search for a brighter future for America. And so Barry must leap from life to life with Joe, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping that the next leap will be the leap to much needed vacation after eight years in the Oval Office.The comic book is a combination of both graphic cartoons and a cheese science fiction novel of the two men who once and still continue to inspire much of the country. I do recommend that if you do read the book, it is much better if you follow along with the audio book. It adds to the hilarity and provides a funky soundtrack.

Hilarious and surprisingly poignant at times. :-)

Ridiculous, hilarious, yet uncomfortable at the same time. It’s a quick read but I have the feeling it will stick with me as inappropriate jokes at inappropriate times.

Pretty good The only thing that would have made this better would be more illustrations, but that ma just be my own prejudice regarding graphic novels.

Great feel good premise. Would have preferred more of a continuous story and the mini ideas at the end though

Blissfully entertaining read with hilariously charming illustrations! I, too, want to jump into the multiverse to find a better version of the 2016 election lmao 😅

Good, clean, naked, time traveling fun. Not for your every day Republican.

LOVED the illustrations. Wish there had been more.
