Great to find the continuing story

Revisado: 03-30-23

It's been several years since I have visited the world of Pern. But it was amazing how much came back yo me of this world of dragons as the story unfolded. It's good to know that the Next Generation of Dragon Rider novels will continue.

nice insight and background

Revisado: 11-06-18

I have always enjoyed watching Tucker on Fox News. This was made more enjoyable by listening to him actually read what he had written. There is lots of fantastic background information and flushing out stories that I had heard, but did not know all of the story, or as one newscaster used to say many years ago "And now for the rest of the story." Each chapter is broken down into a different subject making it very easy to follow and very easy reader-friendly to keep track of what he was talking about. The book flows extremely well. if anyone is interested in how our country has ended up in some of the difficulties we are now in as far as the government goes and how it runs the lives of the American people should read this . I will be looking for other Tucker books.

Real Reporting

Revisado: 10-04-18

This book used real laws and statements made during the time of Donald Trump as President of the United States and put them into an easily understandable format. There were many things I had questioned while I watched reports on television or read them in news outlets. This book brought a lot of clarity to what people of power and people of hate did to a legitimate President. It was very easy to understand and very enjoyable to listen to as I worked on projects at home daily.

book club book

Revisado: 09-29-18

Our book club decided to read this book this year. Not exactly one that I would normally have chosen, but well written and the farther along the story I read the better I enjoyed it. The last couple of chapters created a great deal of emotion. Would I recommend a book? Absolutely! Is it a book I would read again ? Perhaps in the future. The story became more emotional for me when the old blind horse had trouble with the donkey. I have a real affinity for old animals approaching ending their life expectancy.

Amazing story

Revisado: 08-19-18

Let me start by saying I do not give 5 stars across the board to books in general. It takes an extremely well-written and riveting story to earn 5 stars from me . However, this story is amazing. I learned many things about apartheid and South Africa I didn't truly know or understand. This novel is a mixture of comedy and drama as it brings to life a family and its struggles through the eyes of a young boy growing up in South Africa during and after apartheid. With this story the reader learns of the abuse, poverty, and oppression endured and experienced by the author, Trevor Noah, as he grows into a young man.Trevor's life was truly a difficult one to experience . Amazingly he was able to grow into adulthood and become successful in the entertainment field . It is inspirational in many ways. People can rise above their circumstances in life. This is definitely a book that should be listened to instead of read. The accent and foreign words spoken correctly, make this story come to life. This is definitely one of the best books I've read / listened to ever. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Very enjoyable to listen to this novel.

Revisado: 05-04-18

I read this series many years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact many of the books in this series I have read a few times. But now I can plug this into the phone or my tablet and put headphones on to enjoy the beautiful story while I am doing other tasks. I don't want to be without this application especially during longer driving trips. Listening to the stories is even more enjoyable than when I read the paper books over 30 years ago.

Another side to World War II

Revisado: 06-14-16

I learned so many interesting things about World War II that I had never heard of before. It is amazing to think of what these people went through in the jungles of Burma. This story tells of the bond between man and elephant and how strong it can be. It tells of how without the help of many elephants, World War II could have turned out very differently in this part of the world . The picture that is painted with words, clearly shows a time in history and a part of the world most of us will never know . Being an animal lover , there are many emotional scenarios that are so relatable the reader can be drawn in so they feel they are part of that moment in time.. I highly recommend this book.
