Narrator is bad, story is good
Revisado: 12-22-24
The narrator was constantly emphasizing the wrong words or putting pauses in places there shouldn’t be pauses. It was distracting and made the listen hard to enjoy, though the story was really good. Please, someone coach her!

For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about. Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis’ taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19.

Michael Lewis should have narrated
Revisado: 12-08-24
This narrator mispronounced words and had an odd cadence - Lewis is a much better narrator of his own work.

Nothing is more inspiring than a big vision that becomes a triumphant, new reality. Think of how the Empire State Building went from a sketch to the jewel of New York's skyline in twenty-one months, or how Apple’s iPod went from a project with a single employee to a product launch in eleven months.

This book is about big projects, but also psychology and biases, and yet is engaging and entertaining. Highly recommend!

My first Ann Patchett, but definitely not my last. This book was so great I did almost nothing all weekend but listen to it! Streep’s performance was warm and generous, perfectly matching the tone of the novel.

I love this series in the way I loved Harry Potter— the worlds aren’t the same, but feeling like a kid again while reading absorbing books is. Loved it!

Olivia Bishop is no fun. That's what her ex-husband said. And that's what her smart bob and glasses imply. So with her trademark determination, Olivia sets out to remake her life. She's going to spend time with her girlfriends and not throw it all away for some man. But when an outing with her book club leads her to a brewery taproom, the dark-haired beauty realizes that trouble - in the form of sexy Jamie Donovan - may be too tempting to avoid.

Cute, romantic fun
Revisado: 10-19-11
Mostly I'm writing this review because of the bad one that almost made me not buy it. Is it predictable? Sure. But I don't expect a lot of twists and turns in what is essentially a fairy tale. I listen to romances for the romance, the flirting, and hopefully some humor. This book has that in spades, and is an enjoyable, light listen. I recommend it, and plan to get Good Girls Don't next.
Also: Cougars? Really? I don't think a 35-year-old woman dating a 29-year-old man is a cougar. It's only a 6-year difference!

Picking up where her blockbuster best-selling
Bridget Jones's Diary left off,
The Edge of Reason finds Bridget in an up and down relationship with Mark Darcy. It's four weeks later, and already the honeymoon is over: the man of her dreams votes conservative and folds his clothes at night, making Bridget feel pressured to do so as well.

I haven't listened to this version, just a Barbara Rosenblat one, but the story is delightful and fun and continues the exploits and errors of Miss Jones. If you're a fan of the first book, I would think you'll like this one, and if you've seen the movie, you're still missing an awful lot of good story here. I highly recommend it!
