Good but not as good as Gone Girl & Sharp Obeject

Revisado: 04-30-15

Would you try another book from Gillian Flynn and/or the narrators?

Yes. Gillian Flynn is now my new favourite writer.

Could you see Dark Places being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Hm...could be. But if there is a movie made, I wish Sharp Object can turn into a movie more.

Any additional comments?

I was expecting something fast pace like her other 2 books but this one is a little bit slow and I often needed to skip 30 secs to listen ahead.

Learned something from French Parenting Indeed

Revisado: 04-06-15

What did you like best about this story?

It gave me a new perspective on parenting and I love the fact that the author spent time observing and was able to clearly describe that she observed. I now learned not to be over-nurturing, learned that saying no to my kid is ok, learned that letting them misbehave a little at home (but letting them know that when they are outside, they need to behave)...learned a lot indeed.

A bit overrated

Revisado: 04-06-15

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I would say that the book was so-so, I don't hate it but there was not a specific part that I remember I like...

Hm... the content don't sync with the title

Revisado: 04-06-15

What disappointed you about Normal Gets You Nowhere?

I don't think the content sync with the title. I was expecting something more...hm...different and daring... I couldn't even finish the book.

Would you be willing to try another one of Kelly Cutrone’s performances?

Her performance was ok, acceptable...if she is the author...

Any additional comments?

Was quite boring overall and I find her much sharper on TV, when she gives comments and advices.

DVF's Character Rocks!

Revisado: 04-06-15

If you could sum up The Woman I Wanted to Be in three words, what would they be?

Honest, Daring and Intriging

Any additional comments?

DVF's life is a life with no boundaries, she was daring to give anything a try, and she was open for adventure in life. Love her attitude and find it very interesting. No, I won't be able to step out of my comfort zone and try new things after listening to her story but I do find it very amusing. Love it.

Inspiring story for girl bosses

Revisado: 04-06-15

Where does #GIRLBOSS rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would categorise it as one of the "memoires" I listened to and I would put it second to DVF's book. #Girlboss was quick and funny + it's truly inspiring to those who have a vision & dream but didn't do too well in school.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The most interesting is that Sophia Amoruso was very straight forward and honest about things that she did (both good & bad), and I love the fact that she actually shared her days working alone and handling everything, because for all business owners, I am sure everyone would relate to that period of "hardship", haha...

What does Sara Jes Austell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I don't know how Sophia Amoruso sounds like but I would definitely imagine her voice would be something similar to Sara Jes Austell, which made it sounds like the author herself was talking and telling her own story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not exactly. Given it was a good book and I enjoyed listening to, it was something I can wait until I am absolutely free when I listen.

Twisted and Evil but in an attractive way...

Revisado: 04-06-15

Would you listen to Gone Girl again? Why?

Hm... I don't tend to listen to stories I have already listened to, especially for Gone Girl when the story is still so vivid in my head.

What did you like best about this story?

The detail description of emotions and thinking of the characters. I mean... Amy... my god...

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I actually pulled an all nighter trying to finish the book (and I was suppose to have a 9am meeting the next day!)

Any additional comments?

I am just glad that I have finished the book before watching the movie. The book was so much better and I would to choose Ben Affleck to play Nick...

A story that kept me guessing - who did it!?

Revisado: 04-06-15

What made the experience of listening to The Girl on the Train the most enjoyable?

The great performance of the narrators! There are quite a few characters in the story but the narrators made it very easy to identify.

What other book might you compare The Girl on the Train to and why?

I would compare it with Gone Girl because both stories talks about the "dark side" of humans... which could be an underlying traits of anyone, even us.

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I think reading and listening the book would offer totally different experience, however, as mentioned early on in my first comment, the narrators really did a good job in the "acting"... especially the dramatic difference between Anna and Rachel - the tone of them really shape the story & the character

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would say that the first 15 min was a bit difficult to sink in since it would take a little bit of effort to listen to all the background and the various characters. However, after that, I was quite hooked onto the story.
