MESS One Man's Struggle to Clean Up His House and His Act

Yourgrau tackles the challenges and quandaries of grappling with hoarding tendencies in this amusing and insightful memoir. Narrator Peter Brooke captures the tone of the story with the right amount of bemusement, sincerity, and emphasis. He fleshes out the author's character with distinct narrative and speaking voices, while keeping a consistent pace of delivery. Other character voices are not as strong, but they don't need to be as much of the focus is on Yourgrau's inner workings. Yourgrau's journey from hiding to recognizing and trying to come to terms with his problem with a bit of self-deprecation and acceptance is a story that many listeners will appreciate for themselves or someone they know.
