Christie

A realistic view of our potential future with the continued and unregulated development of technology.

Revisado: 11-18-24

I liked how the positive and negative outcomes were skillfully and thoughtfully presented. Disturbingly, I wonder how a general population makes their voices heard through what appears to be an inevitable outcome with extrapolating and disastrous results, and if enough regular humans are capable of even gasping the possibilities. Yikes!

A personalized view of an historic topic.

Revisado: 06-06-24

Phenomenal writing, as usual. It was so gripping I just kissed the rest of my life goodbye until I finished it. The reader was superb- loved it all!

Horrible narration

Revisado: 05-31-24

It was difficult for me to continue due to the narration. Couldn’t stand it. I found it impossible to become engaged with the characters- they simply weren’t likable to me because they sounded so superficial and shallow. The story itself may have been okay but I finally turned it off because I couldn’t get beyond the annoying voices. I generally like Hannah’s writing style, but this one- not for me.

Powerful!

Revisado: 05-14-24

I loved the realistic view of a terrible time. I did not serve, but my husband was a Navy pilot, who served in Vietnam Nam for two tours. He was one of the lucky ones who came home, although several close friends did not.
It was powerful to have an adult perspective of that time so well executed in literary form, and to find that it was just as devastating and wrenching as I remember.
I loved every single thing about this book. And the reader was superb. I had to put it down countless times to go get a tissue. Thank you, Kristen Hannah.

Egan’s most compelling yet.

Revisado: 04-08-23

This is Timothy Egan’s true story of one of the most hidden but tumultuous periods in America’s history. His profound insights and extensive research make this a “must read” for anyone who wonders how we, as a nation, arrived at the point we are today. As always, his writing is a joy to read, in spite of the painful subject matter. Loved it.

HORRIBLE Narration

Revisado: 04-24-21

I finally had to give up. The narrator's robotic monotone voice for several characters finally tipped me over, although I was already poised to quit at that point. She has a knack for losing track of her accents and making her lessor or secondary characters sound ignorant and/or evil. Her characterization of several characters made it almost impossible to keep people and conversations straight, and although I liked the book, I found that I was starting to focus on the fingernails-on-the-blackboard aspect of reader. Aghhhhh. I ordered the book instead.

Lose The Music!

Revisado: 04-07-21

I found the music so distracting and unfitting to what was happening that I couldn’t even get through the book.
Because Michael Connelly is one of my favorites, I bought the print version, which I’m finally able to enjoy.

A Home Run (Again)

Revisado: 06-08-16

Where does Something More rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Just when I think I've heard all of the self-help key points I pick up another Sarah BB book and discover that she has, once again, found the missing link for which I've been waiting all these years. I truly love her books, and again, she doesn't disappoint. Such insight! Such empowerment! I always sigh when I read the last page, feeling as though I'm saying goodbye to the person who knows me best.
