Part philosophy, part memoir, part tips of the trade

Revisado: 04-03-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

A well-rounded and well-narrated treatise on acting, its philosophical aspects, practices, and one actor’s experience with the craft.
Through anecdotes and tips (both personal and acquired over an extensive career) Mr Davis takes the reader on a journey allowing them a glimpse behind the mask.
Though not an actor myself, I still found this book interesting for the simple fact that I can better appreciate cinema, TV, and theater actors by learning a little bit about the effort that goes into breathing life into the characters written in the script.

Myriad narrators bring history to life and flesh out an American legend with quotes from his contemporaries!

Revisado: 03-08-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

An easily accessible historical account narrated by multiple individuals; full of quotes of contemporaries of Abraham Lincoln that record the fledgling Union as it wrestles with its limited interpretation of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness for all men who are created equal. A timely book, as some of the racist sentiments are echoed in actions and words of the living in this great nation. Jonathan White uncovers accounts and facts I'd never read or heard about before. A powerful read for anyone wanting to better understand the foundation of dissent between the North and the South. The variety of narrators lending voices to the quotes helped bring this text to life.

Peace through understanding and love

Revisado: 03-06-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Good narration despite the challenge; the narrator had to get creative with so many new characters this time around. Variety of effects and registers make it easier to keep all the new entities straight.
The second in a series, 'The Horses Know' drops you right into multiple story elements that don't ever quite congeal. Once again, Lynn Mann waxes poetic about horses; describing various riding maneuvers in a way only a horse-aficionado can fully appreciate in characteristic wordy manner. Dialogue is realistic and flows well and romance doesn't take away from the story. Woeful race history is expanded upon and characters explored. Resolution in tension feels rushed and not fully developed, but will surely still be plenty entertaining for teen readers. I'm not as impressed with this book as the first, but hold out hope for the final installment of the trilogy.

Magical female protagonist evolves with assistance of horse spirit guide in dystopian future fantasy.

Revisado: 03-05-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This dystopian fantasy takes a little while to get into. Set in an alternate future where civilization has nearly decimated itself and nature, 'The Horses Know' ties in mystical and fantasy elements. Strong female protagonist Amarilla develops as her bond to her horse strengthens and she matures with her peers. At times a bit long-winded, Lynn Mann paints a detailed world both without and within. A great read for tweens and teens who like horses or fantasy. Themes of self-actualization, working out conflicts through discussion, and acceptance of others' differences abound.

An insightful foray into to cross species pro-social animal behavior.

Revisado: 03-03-24

A heartwarming account of instances of animal altruism. Given how rough the 2020-2022 time period has been, this collection of examples of cross-species assistance gives me warm fuzzies. This second book of Belinda Recio is just as fascinating and informative as her first book 'Inside Animal Hearts and Minds'. Stories of altruistic behaviors across species include birds, canines, elephants, porpoises, and primates, An informative feel-good listen.
