Historia
The holiday film A Christmas Story, first released in 1983, has become a bona fide Christmas perennial, gaining in stature and fame with each succeeding year. Its affectionate, wacky, and wryly realistic portrayal of an American family's typical Christmas joys and travails in small-town Depression-era Indiana has entered our imagination and our hearts with a force equal to It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street.

Too much Bumpus
Revisado: 12-02-23
Neither Ralphie nor his family is not very likable in the book version. Also, the last half of the book is about the Bumpus family—pointless.

Historia
A frank, smart, and captivating memoir by the daughter of Apple founder Steve Jobs. Small Fry is Lisa Brennan-Jobs' poignant story of a childhood spent between two imperfect but extraordinary homes. Scrappy, wise, and funny, young Lisa is an unforgettable guide through her parents' fascinating and disparate worlds. Part portrait of a complex family, part love letter to California in the '70s and '80s, Small Fry is an enthralling audiobook by an insightful new literary voice.

No sugar coating
Revisado: 11-25-23
The author appears to be honest about the good, the bad, and the ugly. There is no sugar coating for anyone, not even for herself.

Trifecta of good decisions—cats, books, coffee.
Revisado: 02-25-21
Great cat stories. The book could either have used better transitions when moving back and forward through time or have been organized a bit better.
To all the publishers who might still think cat lovers don’t read:
Every cat lover I know, male or female, reads voraciously. Besides, what do you think a cat lover is doing while a dog lover is at the dog park? They are reading!
The trifecta of good decision making looks like a book in the hand, a cat in the lap, and a cup of coffee within reach.

Historia
It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Let’s all give Mariah a hug!
Revisado: 11-16-20
I’ve always liked her music, but since I don’t follow entertainment news and I don’t participate in any social media, I’ve only ever heard some of the superficial details and gossip about Mariah the stratospheric diva.
This book is very moving and shows Mariah the feeling, living, breathing human, not the judgmental, I-am-better-than-all-of-you elitist the media would want you to believe she is.
I can relate to so many aspects of Mariah’s childhood that I want to cry for her. How she ever survived her childhood and how she survives the trolls and haters without losing her whimsical charm and belief in the good is awe inspiring.
Wishing her days filled with love, joy, and happiness for the rest of her life.

Not a big fan of fiction
Revisado: 09-04-20
I sure wish Audible would label each audiobook as fiction or nonfiction along with the author’s name, publication date, etc.
Though this book is well written very well performed, I’m just not that into fiction. But I did complete the book for comment’s sake.

Historia
A perfect blend of medical drama and spiritual insight, Gray Matter is a fascinating account of Dr. David Levy's decision to begin asking his patients if he could pray for them before surgery. Some are thrilled. Some are skeptical. Some are hostile, and some are quite literally transformed by the request.

Preach

If you want to be preached to, this book is for you.
If you believe in concrete science rather than contradictory religion, look try a different book.

Historia
First celebrated for her voice, she became one of the most talked-about women in the world, whether for music and fashion, her relationship struggles, or as a walking blonde joke. But now, instead of being talked about, Jessica is doing the talking. Her audiobook shares the wisdom and inspirations she’s learned and shows the real woman behind all the pop-culture clichés. Open Book is an opportunity to laugh and cry with a close friend, one that will inspire you to live your best, most authentic life, now that she is finally living hers.

Powerful and Real!
Revisado: 02-25-20
Wow! What a moving memoir and approximately titled. Jessica does not hold back. She is such a beautiful soul who has had to be so strong to get through so many hardships.
I want to hive her a huge hug and say thank you. No one is exempt from facing adversity in life no matter how beautiful, famous, or wealthy one is. And it is ok to have dark moments. Just keep looking towards the future and don’t give up. It is amazing what a huge difference 3 months, 6 months, or a year can make.
Jessica’s emotions are palpable. I could feel what she was going through especially when she talked about her USO experience at Camp Anaconda. It took me right back to when I first deployed to Iraq on 2004.
HUGS!

Historia
The men of the 77th Infantry Division couldn't fathom why Private Desmond T. Doss would venture into the horrors of World War II without a single weapon to defend himself. "You're nothing but a coward!" they said. But the soft-spoken medic insisted that his mission was to heal, not kill. When Desmond knelt by his bunk to pray, his fellow soldiers hurled boots and insults at him. Even his commander wanted to throw him out of the army. But when his unit arrived on the battlefield, the intrepid medic quickly proved he was no coward.

God over reason
Revisado: 10-12-19
If you are a mystic you will enjoy the angle of the story. If you are a person of reason you may not enjoy they story as much. The focus of the story is on god over reason. Though I discount the angle of approach, what Doss did is absolutely heroic and honorable regardless of how the story is sold.

I wasn’t even sure I liked you (JVN) when I bought this book. Now, I absolutely love you. You showed us the raw and real you. You are a gorgeous, multi-faceted gem.
I just want to hug you and talk about cat behavior with you. Lots of love!

Historia
From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head.

Read Seal Team Six
Revisado: 08-09-19
Kyle has a dangerous attitude towards killing humans—even if they are the enemy. For an accurate account of a bad@ss sniper, without all of the bravado and hype of an immature young male, read Seal Team Six by Howard Wasdin.
My unit was military intelligence and we absolutely preferred attitudes like Wasdin’s over Kyle’s... though Kyle was a recipient of our intel.
