Tragic and beautiful

Revisado: 05-15-22

Gently told and realistic in portrayal of trauma, this book brings the tragedy of Holocaust to the emotional level. The story of a single person makes it posssible to relate and understand the complicated effects of this kind of tragedy on one's life. Such a painfully touching story to hear after reading the memoirs of Rudolf Höss.

A Healing Listen

Revisado: 10-19-21

I’m a long-time viewer of Kati’s YouTube channel, and this book is the such a validating, compassionage and healing deep dive into trauma. The harder-to-listen descriptions are balanced by people’s stories and helpful insights, which helped me stay hopeful and focused. I would recommend this book to everyone - to those of us having a rough time, who want to support their loved ones, and who want to understand just how wonderfully adaptive our brains are.

Basic knowledge for everyone

Revisado: 08-27-21

Clear explanation of the ”Russian intelligence interfering in *” cases and what is wrong with the regime, with witty descriptions for characters whose names may be unfamiliar or hard to remember. As a Russian who grew up abroad, I wish this was fiction that did not affect ordinary Russians’ lives (most of whom are quite disgusted by these dealings.)

Not a line wasted

Revisado: 05-02-21

Some thrillers are rather obvious, with love stories and dialogue and elaborate character descriptions making up for the simplicity of the story. Not this one. In fact, sometimes the action was so fast paced I would’ve put a paperback down and stared into the distance to catch up. I listened to the whole thing start to finish.
Needless to say, I’d recommend this to anyone for any reason: the flow of storytelling or the thrill, the atmosphere or the observations on people and their actions. Even if you don’t like crime or fiction or gruesome people, you’ve got to listen to this.

A beautiful story, more so for its contradictions

Revisado: 03-22-21

The narration could not be more lively, accurate and passionate; it brought new colors to the novel I fell in love with the first time I read it. My views of Mr. Rochester and other characters have changed from those of preteen’s, but I nevertheless delighted in hearing it again.

What a happy little accident it was to stumble upon this book! The perfect feel-good story, and the narrators both do a wonderful job giving a voice to the characters! Just be careful, your cheeks might twitch too from smiling <3
