Dannie Kohan lives her life by the numbers. She is nothing like her lifelong best friend - the wild, whimsical, believes-in-fate Bella. Her meticulous planning seems to have paid off after she nails the most important job interview of her career and accepts her boyfriend’s marriage proposal in one fell swoop, falling asleep completely content. But when she awakens, she’s suddenly in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man.

Mundane story
Revisado: 06-14-23
This book starts with an interesting premise that evolve in to a rather mundane story. The performance is fine but the authors misses an opportunity for a great story in order to tell an emotionally plodding story.

Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a horrific accident when he was seven, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. When Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from that shed.

its Stephen King after all
Revisado: 09-19-22
obviously you can write no review without noting that King is the master of storytelling. first half of this book clearly demonstrates that gift. however the second part of the book becomes slow and tedious. I think you could probably skip several hours come back and know exactly what was going on. as we approach the end I felt myself wishing please God let this be over.
but of course overall it's a good story.

My husband was not a monster. No matter what they say.... The day my husband, Michael, stepped in front of a lorry after being questioned by the police, my world fell apart. He was devoted to me and our six-year-old daughter. But they’d connected him to the disappearance of a young mother from our tiny village.

too many words not enough story
Revisado: 04-17-22
This book is endlessly tedious never wants to get to the point. The book needs a better editor. The narrator was good but the story is lacking.

A look behind the curtain
Revisado: 09-25-21
This book pulls back the curtain on how poorly the CDC operates. While much of the information presented is publicly available, assembling it would require a significant effort. Anyone who has an opinion about masks, vaccine, or the pandemic needs to read this book.
An excellent examination of Covid-19 and how it evolved in the United States and the world.

Prickly, wry, resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic, Olive Kitteridge is “a compelling life force” (San Francisco Chronicle). The New Yorker has said that Elizabeth Strout “animates the ordinary with an astonishing force”, and she has never done so more clearly than in this book, where the iconic Olive struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her in the town of Crosby, Maine.

What a downer
Revisado: 02-27-20
The performance was good. The story was very depressing. So much death and suicide. It's a wonder Olive didn't kill herself. I would Not recommend this book.

Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.

How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

Disappointing
Revisado: 10-02-19
I like the tipping point and outliers and have read all this authors books. However this book is clearly about an incident that took place in Texas and Ferguson Missouri. The author attempts to make his point through a loose connection of anecdotes. There is little or no empirical evidence to support the author's thesis.
While I will continue to read this author's books one can only hope that in the future he will not have such an emotional bias in the subject matter.
