Meg Monahan

Bravo, Prince Harry and Your fabulous wife, Meghan!!!!!!

Revisado: 01-14-23

Clearly the paps have tried to sensationalize tiny reflections and paint them black. This book is wonderfully written and fabulously narrated. (You could make a living reading aloud with your soothing voice) The book isn’t overly dramatized, whinny, or trivial. Any person with an open mind can see their own family struggles, scaled down but still as relevant in the life of the spare. I have heard all the swiping at The Prince for what he has said and done and I find him captivating, human, sincere and the most genuine of the bunch. Just imagine what was written on the Palace’s social media accounts and not removed. He’s a galant Prince who stood up for and by his wife as she was persecuted. He was cut off by his father and security stripped…so I hope he makes millions on Netflix, this well written memoir and any other endeavor he pursues. He comes by it honestly. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has dealt with being lied about, who has had struggles being heard by their family, and for those who have felt lost in their path in life. The book is recommend for those who judge without sufficient discovery. The only thing he said that cast dispersions on his family was their failure to act with compassion, failure to protect, and respect. They own that p, not Harry. He simply stated the facts as he saw them. I saw an video of his mom and she was raised by a family with no hugs. Ironic. This simply is candid and relevant to anyone. You don’t need to be interested in British Royalty…it speaks to us all. Now, if you don’t mind…I am going to look up that phenomenal poem written by a very young Meghan Markle.

Uplifting and Grounded

Revisado: 10-25-22

I think when you have long loved a subject it is gratifying to know they struggle with issues you can relate to. He acknowledges the gift of his face and allows you to see the burden of it as well. The packaging , so lovely, it gave rise to turmoil in his soul.
I can’t imagine an narrator doing a better job than Jeff Danials. Jeff is superb in this role.
As someone who constantly analyses themselves, I found his journey inspirational. I think this book has a great deal of insight into self improvement. It is worth the read.

Thread Bare and illogical

Revisado: 10-05-22

This book was meandering and baffling. I kept waiting for it to be strung together and it didn’t happen. I gave it this rating because the writer didn’t construct a plausible story. The characters didn’t have any recognizable features because there was no physical explanation to go with the personalities . I kept with it and was left with ambivalence.

Oh, what a Dame, American Treasure, my Thanks.

I had a mother who mirrored Jane’s choice during the Vietnam War. I have always admired her. I was curious about her life journey and was caught unaware that her voice and self discovery would awaken my comatose self to begin anew. I don’t want to be unconscious anymore Jane. I want to follow in your footsteps.
I think every woman should read this book, if they can open their mind to the fullness of a person without the political baggage.
I think it would be great to abridge the last chapter for every adolescent girl. I would recommend this book to men as well. I am of meager means. However, I have a wealthy friend who suffers the same slings and arrows of shadowing a man with insecurities of self, as I do. I pray the ending of this book is a beginning for my authentic self. When I read other’s reviews I realized they missed her conscious journey, her self awareness and her endeavor to correct and redirect. You don’t have to agree with her choices and I don’t believe for a minute that she is egocentric. Goodness, they miss the point.

Always knew who he was

Revisado: 08-28-22

When I was a teen 8 saw him on Merv or Mike in an interview wearing a pink shirt uncharastic for men at the time. The MC commented on the color and Burt said it was “puce”. As an artist, I felt I learned something, a new color. It was that candid interview which made me feel this man had real depth, charisma, and was somebody I would like to hang out with. I just did. Listening to him was a learning experience of life lessons. It wasn’t without a caveat. The audio was hard to hear as his voice is low and a bit raspy. There was what sounded like a rain stick periodically. The best part is that he didn’t act when he was reading for this role, his story. He snickered and spoke through tears often. It was real and he was really who I always thought he was…a Greta actor and a better man then most.

Good easy listening and get it done audio

Revisado: 06-17-22

Captivating story to get things done to…
I have different genres I listen to on audio for different things. I am trying to downsize the amount of “stuff” I own and enjoyed the book so much that I just purchased “Tell me”. I also enjoy history novels., which require more work while listening.
I recommend this audio because the story and narration flow so well, you can accomplish things without having to rewind, The characters are described well enough there is no confusion between who the author is referring to in the story. This is well constructed and entertaining and requires nothing from the listener bit to just come along for the ride. If you want a book you don’t want to have to work for, one which keeps you a motivated listener…this is a good pick.

Straight forward

Revisado: 06-14-22

This story first came to my attention through a documentary series entitled,”The men who built America”. It’s a sad story and the writer’s view is somewhat removed, but time can distance us. The details and names used are quite impressive.
The narration was very comfortable but there are many significant pauses which are so drawn out, one assumes the audible tape lost its connection.

If at once you don’t succeed….

Revisado: 08-21-21

This story is shows that life is risky and love last past a lifetime. it is great to get the perspective of the different victims. What is most amazing is even the children of Boston, though victims, transcended to hero’s. The tenacity of the families showed a great love not only for ones family, but in the case of the boys of Boston, a love for humanity.

Very interesting

Revisado: 07-24-21

Though many of the case studies detailed I had heard of before, the author presented in a way which was fresh and nuanced. I will save this book and listen to parts of it again. In addition, the end of the book, suggesting future scientific crimes was fascinating and troubling. I am glad I purchased this audio.

Oddly, I found it clarified many things I have pondered.

Revisado: 12-24-20

My daughter asked me to be in charge of donating her organs. At 61, and a donor since College, having been asked by her to proceed should something happen to her...I looked into it further. The information made me more concerned. I found this book helpful on sorting through questions. I like medical books. This one gives pause to our preconceived ideas on many subjects. It is also just plain interesting to find out what happens to cadavers.
