Louise Erdrich never disappoints.

Revisado: 10-27-24

Erdrich may be my favorite author. No one blends the sometimes harsh reality of the interface between humans, the land they occupy and the other occupants if that land - plants and animals, and the subtle spirit of the places she portrays.

Evocative of my Wyoming home .

I loved the descriptive passages and the consistent tie in with nature. Beulah’s character held true throughout, binding the stories of the human families with the predictable rhythm of the land and its creatures.

Interesting commentary on the historic role of female medical personnel in the military.

The writing had a truly vintage feel. The predatory feel of reactions between genders was maybe over-emphasized, yet I have to admit, it felt familiar. I’m not a fan of the romance genre, but that model worked well to express the frustration of living with inequality. We’ve come a long way, baby!

The unbelievable writing chops of a guy I thought of as a TV star!

Revisado: 06-18-24

I loved Ducovney’s dense, tight writing style and the trade off of modern and historic themes as a backdrop for character development. I can’t wait to start the next book!

The overall quality of the writing.

Revisado: 06-15-24

A couple of the story lines just didn’t resonate with me. Laurie, for instance , had a great beginning, but seemed the fizzle before what I felt should be the natural conclusion.

Not my favorite Mick Herron.

Revisado: 05-30-24

I love Herron’s writing, but have always preferred the gritty Slough House characters to Zoë, This time the narration ruined the book for me.

Deeply honest writing; perfect narration

Revisado: 10-24-23

Meryl Streep’s gives narrative birth to the story of Tom Lake. Each of us will recognize a piece of personal
history within these finely drawn characters and, hopefully, some peace about decisions that brought us into adulthood. A beautiful listen.

Beautiful story; perfect narration!

Tom Hanks gives Ann Patchett’s wonderful prose the quality performance it deserves. This is a truly inspiring listen.

Ruined by narration

Revisado: 09-14-23

Same good writing, anchored by the iconic Holly character should equal instant great listening. So WHY change narrators in the third book of a series?? The narrator is adequate but Holly’s unique voice is indistinguishable from any other. What a shame. Please bring back Will Patton.

I’m worn out by the overwrought narration

Revisado: 07-03-23

I’ve enjoyed several books by Ruth Ware, but Ive been hard pressed to even finish her past two offerings. I felt the plot of Zero Days was particularly flimsy, consisting mainly of the heroine doing self-described “stupid things”.
I’m sure the author intended to portray the protagonist as skilled and courageous but the narrator cancels her seriousness with an overwrought style inappropriate to the story. No longer my cup of tea.
