Alchemist I AM Not

Revisado: 02-23-23

Knowing very little about alchemy and the world of mountain climbing, that part was most significantly interesting. The mystery was good, and kept my attention to the end. 2 or 3 times I thought I knew who was the killer, only to change my mind as I read/listened. If you are a hard core murder mystery person you might find the story a bit lacking. However, I found it interesting and a good read/listen. Pretty sure I will never be climbing in the Himalayas…but I felt like was when reading.

Who doesn’t love Stanley Tucci

Revisado: 01-11-23

I enjoyed the reading and so glad it was self read by Mr Tucci. It is a thoughtful biography that is intertwined with a cookbook, and really is a tribute to family, friends and food.

The only reason U didn’t give it 5 stars (deserves a solid 4.5) is I wanted MORE. Mr Tucci, I believe you have more to say about your personal struggles within the industry and possibly more to say about food and refuge. Thank you for a delightful read/listen.

Another Story that MUST be heard

Revisado: 01-01-23

Holocaust survivor stories should always be told and listened to. This one offers more than just a story of survival, but also life lessons, a tribute to a community, and an insightfulness that can be treasured. The reader is ok…. But could have and should have been read with a bit more emotion. Just a little too monotone for a passionate novel. Otherwise a very good “read.”

For Everyone Who Thinks They Know Love

Revisado: 11-30-22

I really enjoyed this book. Not only was it entertaining, but also made me really think about what love us and does it always have to be romantic? Beyond the stories of Evelyn and her rise to stardom are deep meaningful love stories. Some “normal,”some intense and some short and some long. Many served a purpose, but I’ve made me think about the true deepness of love. What we are willing to sacrifice for our love of another. In the end…Love is love, all of it in all its forms makes our lives meaningful.

A Must Read

Revisado: 11-10-22

This novel should be read by everyone. The story reminds us what we often see on the surface of humanity is often just dirt that hides a diamond, and once the layers of dirt are removed a rock of brilliant light is discovered.

I enjoyed this novel and the reading so much I listened again.

Whine whine whine

Revisado: 10-10-22

Maybe I am in the minority here, but while it was an interesting look into relationships and this one authors in particular… if I heard “Oh, William” one more time I was gonna scream. I get it, it’s the title but Jeeze….

Narration was very good, how many nuances can you put to the phrase “Oh, William?” She did great!

Glad this book was not any longer. Decent short read/listen. Just enough with the “Oh William.”

Good Mystery with a Twist

Revisado: 10-06-22

An enjoyable mystery with a gruesome dive in to the land of opium, vampires, news paper sensationalism, family secrets, and yes…romance. I loved the character development and change of the heroine through the story. Anyone in substance recovery could find the book triggering, or perhaps laughable? Perspective is everything. Bottom line, I enjoyed the book and recommend.

New perspective on post WW2

Revisado: 10-06-22

I really enjoyed this novel and the reading. It was an interesting view of post WW2 that is often forgotten. The relationships in the book feel real and not contrived. The story flows with a few twists, but over all an enjoyable and educational read.

Bad Girl Gone Good

Revisado: 04-23-22

I enjoyed this story and the several twists it takes. It gave a very fresh perspective of how one recovers after a life of foster homes, and the strength of mothers. How the longing for a family love is deeply in bedded in us all, and forgiveness in all its forms is strong medicine to heal battered souls.
