À propos de cet audio
An instant New York Times best seller
The untold stories behind The Office, one of the most iconic television shows of the 21st century, told by its creators, writers, and actors.
When did you last hang out with Jim, Pam, Dwight, Michael, and the rest of Dunder Mifflin? It might have been back in 2013, when the series finale aired...or it might have been last night, when you watched three episodes in a row. But either way, long after the show first aired, it’s more popular than ever, and fans have only one problem - what to watch, or listen to, next.
Fortunately, Rolling Stone writer Andy Greene has that answer. In his brand-new oral history, The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s, Greene will take listeners behind the scenes of their favorite moments and characters. Greene gives us the true inside story behind the entire show, from its origins on the BBC through its impressive nine-season run in America, with in-depth research and exclusive interviews. Fans will get the inside scoop on key episodes from "The Dundies" to "Threat Level Midnight" and "Goodbye, Michael", including behind-the-scenes details like the battle to keep it on the air when NBC wanted to pull the plug after just six episodes and the failed attempt to bring in James Gandolfini as the new boss after Steve Carell left, spotlighting the incredible, genre-redefining show created by the family-like team, who together took a quirky British import with dicey prospects and turned it into a primetime giant with true historical and cultural significance.
Hilarious, heartwarming, and revelatory, The Office gives fans and pop culture buffs a front-row seat to the phenomenal sequence of events that launched The Office into wild popularity, changing the face of television and how we all see our office lives for decades to come.

Rainn Wilson’s memoir about growing up geeky and finally finding his place in comedy, faith, and life. For nine seasons Rainn Wilson played Dwight Schrute, everyone's favorite work nemesis and beet farmer. Viewers of The Office fell in love with the character and grew to love the actor who played him even more. Rainn founded a website and media company, SoulPancake, that eventually became a best-selling book of the same name. He also started a hilarious Twitter feed (sample tweet: “I'm not on Facebook” is the new “I don't even own a TV”).

Jenna Fischer's Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis. She was determined, confident, and ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong? Uh, basically everything. The path to being a professional actor was so much more vast and competitive than she’d imagined. It would be eight long years before she landed her iconic role on The Office, nearly a decade of frustration, rejection, and doubt. If only she’d had a handbook for the aspiring actor. Or, better yet, someone to show her the way. Jenna wants to be that person for you.

But, in reality, the two bonded in their very first days on set and, over the nine seasons of the series’ run, built a friendship that transcended the show and continues to this day.

One of our best-loved actors, Michael Caine has starred in over 100 films in his six-decade career, spanning classic movies like Alfie, Zulu, and The Italian Job (the inspiration for the book title) to playing Alfred opposite Christian Bale's Batman in Christopher Nolan's blockbuster Dark Knight trilogy. Caine has excelled in every kind of role - with a skill that's made it look easy. As he says, "Small parts can lead to big things. And if you keep doing things right, the stars will align when you least expect it."

Incredible peak into the behind-the-scenes told by all the key creatives
Fascinating and highly entertaining deep-dive into the creation, development, production and afterlife of the cultural phenomenon that is The Office. Even starting with the UK Office. As told by virtually all of the key creatives involved, including cast & crew (but not with the voices provided for the audiobook unfortunately). Insightful, entertaining, and highly informative, a great listen! Only downside is the actual cast & crew couldn’t do the audiobook, but the narrators do a good enough job.

Perfect insight into the behind the scenes!
If you love the office you WILL love this book. Compiling and organizing everything must have been a monumental task. All the "insider" information was truly enjoyable and they did a great job of pulling all together in such a cohesive and entertaining away.
I took away 1 star only because they used voice actors instead of having the original cast speaking their stories. With that being said, it still plays wonderfully.

Good stories, bad delivery
I love the show, and I loved getting all these insights from actors, writers and staff.
However, the audiobook format is a bit annoying to get over, being a succession of one-two line quotes from people being read by voice actors and not the actual interviewees.
Maybe buy the book instead, or listen to the Office Ladies Podcast, which covers probably 80% of the book’s content.

Boooring
I'd rather watch the show, or hear real interviews. Struggling to get through the second chapter. It's so fragmented and false-sounding, it can't hold my attention.
