A Remarkable Complex Woman in her own words!

Revisado: 10-16-24

I have been an Audible subscriber since 2004, and have listened to over 700 titles.

This is the first one that I have felt compelled to revue.

Ms Streisand has written a remarkable book about her remarkable life.

As a lifelong diarist, she is able to reference conversations and feelings she had decades ago. She goes into minute detail about her evolution as a singer, actor, director, and producer.

My only issue is that her narrative is read at an excruciatingly slow pace. I recommend listening to it at 1.25 or 1.50 speed.

King's Best?

Revisado: 03-18-22

I've been a Steven King fan since Carrie and have read (listened to) most of his books. I think this might be his finest work. The protagonist is a hit man with a conscience (go figure. ) Instead of traditional flashbacks, King develops his character by making him an aspiring writer who "writes" his story as the book unfolds. I believe King reveals very personal feelings about his own writing process, with an ending that brought this "macho" listener to tears.

It took me a while to get into this book to the point where I almost deleted it. But I stuck with it and found some really good pointers on how to take better live my life.

My New Hero?

Revisado: 01-06-20

This might be the first that I have revued a book.

This book about Alexander Von Humboldt introduced me to the most incredible person I had never of.

His writings inspired such disparate notables as Charles Darwin and John Muir.

Andrea Wulf tells his story in an extremely compelling and listenable manner.

Listen to this to this book!

Back to the Future!

Revisado: 03-28-19

I first read this book over 60 years ago. It was one of the books that ignited my lifelong passion for intelligent Science Fiction. Upon listening to it now at the age of 73, I found the "science" to be amazingly prescient, and Mr. Heinlein's prose to be just as engaging as it was to me as a 12 year old with stars in his eyes.

Bravo!

Must Listen!

Revisado: 11-24-17

This program provides a unique look back at one of the defining periods in U.S. history. And, in the process, highlights some disturbing parallels with current events! Martin Sheen's narration is flawless. My one minor quibble is that the redundant credits at the beginning and end of each episode could have been edited out.

Great Read!

Revisado: 11-02-17

Dave Barry as a novelist! Hell yes! In this book, Barry leads us on a frantic excursion into the absurd and back again. To me, this is the book was evocative of Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas without (most of) the drugs. I'd have given it six stars if it was possible.
