Engaging from the start

Revisado: 06-17-23

Very well written with a refreshing style and honesty. There were times when he shared bits about his journey with grief that I could identify with his thoughts and feelings. The way he admits to having vulnerabilities at different times in his life is a kind of bravery that few, especially in the public eye, know how to do.
It is horrible that British tabloids could treat anyone as badly as they did Meghan. I didn't realize how despicable many of their words and actions were. It's a mystery why they can get away with it. She deserves respect and privacy just like all of us!
The military experiences he had and his devotion to his country were inspirational, and I'm not one who likes war movies or the whole concept, but his perspective is a new one to consider.
I highly recommend this book!

Some interesting twists!

Revisado: 06-18-22

The story is intriguing. The narrator used a somewhat bland tone in many parts where it didn't fit for me. The sessions were too clipped, too much like a facts-only-sir with little expressiveness, or empathetic skills most therapists have. Many of those sessions were important to the plot, but hard to get through, and didn't seem believable. I wish I could have "heard" her pondering in her voice.
I'm glad to have listened to it all , it is a complex concept for a mysterious story, and the author ties the pieces together in a satisfying way.

Hallmark channel style

Kind of cheesey, but a relief from danger, & drama. It was predictable, and yet I listened to the end.

Intriguing overlay of time frames

Revisado: 12-23-20

The story was captivating enough that I listened to it all, and it was worth the time. However, I found the overly rough German annoying, not because the characters were harsh people but because I've been to Germany and they do not sound like they do in old World War II movies, or Hogan's Heros.

Having lost both my parents, she nailed the roller coaster of emotions for me.

A new perspective about women

Revisado: 08-11-19

This book was such a different concept for the lives of women from the 1940's until present, that I was captivated from the start. Everyday I was anxious to start listening again to find out how they were doing; as if they were my friends. Elizabeth Gilbert's style is detailed enough that I found myself wanting to find these characters so that I could give him a hug or ask them for one, and if that wasn't what I needed, they would help me find my own strengths. I highly recommend this complex yet easy to follow story.

Iliza is so amazing!

I truly enjoyed her stand-up routines that I have seen on Netflix, and this book made me love her even more! I'm so glad my 36 year old daughter turned me on to this fantastic, insightful, and inspiring comic!!!

intriguing

as a euro American oh, this was a great insight into someone from another culture. because the performance was so authentic, sometimes the volume was really low. So be careful if you turn it up while you are wearing headphones.
