Great storytelling!

Revisado: 01-11-25

Really enjoyed this book!! It’s got a lot of detail, culture and information but it’s so beautifully wrapped up in the narrative and story that it absolutely flows along and brings the reader on the journey. It’s rare to find a contemporary novel that really displays the art of telling story, especially using oral storytelling skills. I’m so glad I listened to this book on Audible. The writer/narrator is absolutely captivating.

Powerful intense and thought provoking

Revisado: 12-06-24

The story draws you in immediately. It’s powerful and it makes you think about the history of how people are treated. The audio performance is absolutely perfect.

Engaging story but narrator hard to hear

Revisado: 05-01-24

Overall an enjoyable story. The narrator was hard to hear/understand at points, particularly when performing certain characters’ voices. Her volume dropped when she was performing some of the accents.

Some good moments

Revisado: 08-31-23

The book had some interesting points, but overall, a good editor to tighten it up would have been really beneficial. The first section on avocado toast, for example, went on too long. It would have been much better and funnier if it was more concise. Amazingly I made it all the way through the book, but had to put it aside for brief periods because the redundancy was fatiguing. I don’t mean the recall references that pop up throughout the book to things already mentioned, but where points are first introduced and she goes on a bit too long. Give readers some credit for brains. Sometimes I also just wanted to yell “get off the internet. You’re too consumed with social media/internet”. An editor would have helped a lot.

Loved it!!

If you like Patti Smith, you’ll love this. Part story telling, part music. As always, Patti is engaging, thoughtful and no BS. This work has many humorous moments and I laughed frequently. Patti is such a gem!!

Laugh out loud funny

Revisado: 11-07-22

Really,really enjoyable and very, very funny in places!! I’ve read many of Twain’s works, but this had some gems I hadn’t heard before. It starts out a little slow but then gets wonderful and is over far too soon. Highly recommend thus if you want some good laughs

Real enjoyable tale, tightly written.

Revisado: 08-05-22

This short story is very quick and enjoyable!! The writing is condensed and to the point. As with most of Atwood’s works, the story pulls you along in one direction and then provides a twist to make the reader evaluate their assumptions/interpretations of the events and the story. Great short piece of writing!

Alice Cooper's early days

Revisado: 11-11-21

Enjoyable stories and insights from Cooper's early days as a performer. I'd have welcomed even more details and info about his current, excellent band with Nita, Tommy, Glen etc.

Enjoyable short stories, well narrated

Revisado: 10-02-21

Short stories with several different narrators. Audio is well placed and understandable. Good introduction to some of Dahl's writing.
