Another great one, I was constantly entertained and loved the little clues dropped throughout. Hope we don’t have to wait too long to find out what happens next!

Wow …..is about all I can say

Revisado: 01-17-23

Don’t hesitate to read this one. I hate books that are too easy to figure out. Nothing is worse than when I figure out the whole thing half way through and my thoughts get confirmed in the end. This is not one of those books. Just wait and see for yourself. I also want to make sure that anyone worrying they might not like it because it has been translated into English has nothing to worry about. There is nothing at all lost in translation. There’s not the slightest hint that it was originally written in a language other than English.
Be prepared to finish it in a day or two at most because you won’t be able to put it down.

Laugh Out Loud

Revisado: 06-25-18

I can’t remember reading or listening to any book that made me laugh out loud as much as this one did! I often walk while listening and was caught looking like a crazy person in public as I laughed loudly while passing strangers. In this world of traumatic news all around us, this book will make you smile, giggle, and think about life. Great stories and the Author is the perfect Narrator.

Great Story and Great Narration by the Author

Revisado: 01-05-17

What made the experience of listening to Born a Crime the most enjoyable?

It's such an important story about racism that needs to be heard and was told in a way that made you want to finish it in one sitting. It was enlightening, sad, and funny all at the same time.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Born a Crime?

An incident that involves his Mother and Step Father. Don't want to give anything away.

I Stuck With It to the End

Revisado: 11-02-16

Any additional comments?

There were parts of this very unique book that I really enjoyed, and other times that I felt I was only reading it because I payed for it. It's almost impossible for me to describe this book or even fit it into a specific genre. Maybe I would call it "weird" and weird is not always a bad thing......

Kept Me Interested

Revisado: 11-02-16

Any additional comments?

This is actually two books in one, and I did enjoy them both. The first involves a story with a time travel twist that I liked. The second was a little darker and did keep me wanting to find out what happened, but sometimes feeling a little anxious. It was certainly worth the credit but not without a few minor lines repeated a little to often (a pet peeve of mine).

A Great Follow Up to the Previous Book by Backman

Revisado: 11-02-16

If you could sum up Britt-Marie Was Here in three words, what would they be?

Odd Yet Beautiful

What did you like best about this story?

It's simplicity and difference from almost anything I've ever read.

Have you listened to any of Joan Walker’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is a wonderful follow up to one of my favorite books of all time,"My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry" which was also narrated by Joan Walker

Who was the most memorable character of Britt-Marie Was Here and why?

Britt-Marie, without a doubt!

Any additional comments?

This book can stand alone, but I would suggest reading "My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry" either before or after to give you a better picture of Britt-Marie's background.

Just made me smile from start to finish

Revisado: 08-24-16

Which scene was your favorite?

There were so many its hard to pick just one but I do love the ending and how everyone needs a Superhero

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

I laughed out loud in so many places. Once I was sitting in a Doctor's office laughing and found I stood out in the crowd, but as Granny would say "If a sufficient number of people are different, no one has to be normal." I also found myself crying in several places but it was a cleansing kind of cry.

Any additional comments?

I read this book at a trying time for me and it lifted my spirits each and every time I picked it up. It is such a unique type of literature that I cannot see why anyone with an open mind would not pick it up and refuse to put it down.
