You can speed it up to 1.5 x speed to make it go faster. I have now read on pdf, listened via audible, watched the TV “play” performance with well known actors. For insight you can also listen to “The Report” on Lawfare podcast.

Average, not terrible, not tremendous

Revisado: 12-08-17

I felt that the mother in this story was way too one dimensional and the rest of the characters didn’t have enough development. Story was not very unique so the characters naturally must go through some kind change that grips the reader. I enjoyed listening to the historical background of WWII.

Good subject to know/read about.

Revisado: 06-24-17

I try to read all of Krakauer's books. Usually historical disaster stories or stories of incredible physical feats. I enjoyed learning about this subject matter. However, as detailed as this was in its telling I ended up frustrated in the outcomes of some of the cases where victims did not get closure from their horrific experiences.
Later chapters go on and on about the trials, the lawyers, the law , etc etc and it was a bit boring.
I prefer Krakauer's other books to this one. The narration was decent and it kept me wanting more. My lower star rating reflects the discomfort of the subject matter more than the narrative. Krakauer's remains an excellent story teller even when Yellin is about rape.

All about mammary glands

Comprehensive and scientific without being overly clinical. Extremely well researched and informative. Lots of funny anecdotes. Completely engaging and highly recommended for any person with breasts.

Funny Lady

Revisado: 10-20-13

This was just too short. I didn't want it to end. This is THE only way to 'read' this book. Tina Fey is hilarious and a very good narrator. No one else could have done it as well. Great book for anyone who has had growing pains and horrendously embarrassing teenage moments. Doesn't that include us all!

Fun Summer reading

Revisado: 10-20-13

It had been a long time since I had read a detective/mystery/thriller story. My first John Sanford book. This was a good page turner with interesting characters. Good plot and very smart dialogue. This kept my interest until the satisfying end. I really like it when I haven't figured out "who done It."
I sure love it when a good narrator tells me a story and I can just lay back and listen. Sigh! I Love Audible.

Just way too creepy

Revisado: 10-20-13

I must start out by rating Kate Mulgrew as the narrator. She was fabulous and I want to hear more from her. As for the story...sorry, I guess I am getting old and cranky. I used to enjoy Stephan King books "back in the day." I looked forward to reading his son's book. All I kept thinking while listening was that the person who wrote this was a disturbed, sad individual. I really do not know if that is true but that is the feeling I got. I wish I could have suspended disbelief better. I do think Joe Hill is a very good writer but I did not enjoy the subject. In fact, it 'creeped' me out.
So many people really gave this book rave reviews. It is probably just me.

One of the best books I read in 2011

Revisado: 01-31-12

This is a terrifc, very accessible book that you NEED to read. Anyone who has had cancer or who has known anyone with cancer will appreciate the information and story behind cancer. We get the history of cancer, its believed causes and all the different treatments throughout known history. It's told in very vivid language by Dr. Mukherjee, who seems to be incredibly compassionate. Excellent narration, wonderfully written with a good beginning and a good ending. What more could we want! Thanks for making this important work available on audible.

I respect Rebecca Sloot for her painstaking......

Revisado: 01-31-12

research. Fascinating science. A good look at the medical-ethical aspects of medical issues. The author really pounded the pavement in getting this important story told and I commend her. Wow, amazing what a single cancer cell has done for this world, Thank you Henrietta Lacks. You've gone down in history.

Not her best work, not her worst

Revisado: 01-31-12

Not my favorite Kingsolver novel (that would be The Poisonwood Bible) but recommended to Kingsolver's fans. Great research and it reinforced some of the historical facts I had hiding way down deep in my pea brain. Of course, her writing is soooooo good.
My complaint is that it went on way too long.
