Historia
Leah is changed. Months earlier, she left for a routine expedition, only this time her submarine sank to the sea floor. When she finally surfaces and returns home, her wife Miri knows that something is wrong. Barely eating and lost in her thoughts, Leah rotates between rooms in their apartment, running the taps morning and night. As Miri searches for answers, desperate to understand what happened below the water, she must face the possibility that the woman she loves is slipping from her grasp.

Pretty trashy
Revisado: 10-09-22
This is not great literature. The story quickly became pretty trait. The writing was predictable. I read it on Kindle and didn’t bother with the audiobook.

Historia
Heartwarming, insightful, and often laugh-out-loud funny, A Dog's Purpose is not only the emotional and hilarious story of a dog's many lives, but also a dog's-eye commentary on human relationships and the unbreakable bonds between man and man's best friend. This moving and beautifully crafted story teaches us that love never dies, that our true friends are always with us, and that every creature on earth is born with a purpose.

A lovely book
Revisado: 02-11-18
This is a book to touch any heart of a dog lover. Mixing joyful bursts ( of course, it’s about a dog!), with interesting perspective (how does a police canine operate), to sadness, it’s a journey worth taking. Hug your pooch today!

Insipid - but cultural insights fascinating
Revisado: 06-24-17
Very very interesting insights into hill tribes' mindset and ways of life. Having visited several hill tribes this made the book worth the listen. But the story and the performance were a struggle. I think the performance particularly hurt the story. So "yes" to the research but "no" to the presentation.

Just fun to observe the life styles of the rich. Not a great story, not great writing but interesting. I enjoyed listening and performance caught the characters well. I've read 2 of this series, but don't expect to read the next one- too much "sugar fluff."

Historia
The Night Gardener follows two abandoned Irish siblings who travel to work as servants at a creepy, crumbling English manor house. But the house and its family are not quite what they seem. Soon the children are confronted by a mysterious spectre and an ancient curse that threatens their very lives. With Auxier’s exquisite command of language, The Night Gardener is a mesmerizing read and a classic in the making.

Audible staff gave me a personal recommendation of this book when I told them I loved Anna Karenina. Not even close to in the same class. Can't get past 10 min of shoddy writing

Historia
Nearly a half century into being a feminist and legal pioneer, something funny happened to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The octogenarian won the Internet. Across America, people who weren't even born when Ginsburg made her name are tattooing themselves with her face, setting her famously searing dissents to music, and making viral videos in tribute.

GREAT book - but to be read in hard copy
Revisado: 07-09-16
This is a book that absolutely needs to be read as hard copy. I started in audible then bought the full priced hard copy. The hard copy has wonderfully annotated court cases that are a critical part of the book. It is also just a nice book to handle and enjoy - with pictures and interesting notes. Get this book - but enjoy it in hard copy.

For much of her life, Anne Morrow, the shy daughter of the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, has stood in the shadows of those around her, including her millionaire father and vibrant older sister, who often steals the spotlight. Then Anne, a college senior with hidden literary aspirations, travels to Mexico City to spend Christmas with her family. There she meets Colonel Charles Lindbergh, fresh off his celebrated 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic. Enthralled by Charles’s assurance and fame, Anne is certain the celebrated aviator has scarcely noticed her. But she is wrong.

Interesting but too long by the end
Revisado: 09-30-15
Interesting to learn about Charles Lindberg from another, personal perspective. I was ready to strangle his wife in the end - she is very predictable and that grows old. Predictable, but her actions are fully consistent with a certain personality type - so it rang true. The book should have been shortened to keep it a bit more punchy.

The series weaves together more than 50 first-person interviews with an unprecedented collection of archival sound: a rare recording of the 1964 trial that resulted in Mandela's life sentence; a visit between Mandela and his family secretly taped by a prison guard; marching songs of guerilla soldiers; government propaganda films; and pirate radio broadcasts from the African National Congress (ANC).

Really enjoyable and interesting. Very short - too short! Wish I heard more from D. Tutu - what was his perspective.
Can learn enough about such a hero!

Most of the story was just very interesting. But by the end it caused me to think a lot about my relationships- children, aging parents, spouse. I appreciated the perspective and embraced the opportunity.
