Where’s the workbook?

Revisado: 04-15-24

Nothing new, just repeating same themes to subject. Brief treatment of complex topic. Referenced a “workbook” throughout, but no workbook was on Audible. Engaging with the workbook exercises might have helped.

Great Collection of Short Stories

Revisado: 03-08-24

Enjoyed these well-written, contemporary short stories. Interesting angles with relatable characters and real-life themes. Kim's narration, even the male voices, resonated. You don't have to live in Wisconsin to enjoy, but the settings added extra insight for me. The last story, Nothing to Lose, was my favorite.

Hard to Follow Story

Revisado: 07-17-23

I enjoyed Mary Doria Russell's "The Women of Copper Country", so I downloaded A Thread of Grace. While I think the writing is colorful and masterfully descriptive, I had difficulty following the story. There are too many characters, many of which are not developed enough to engage me. Then, all the jumping around in place and time from unrelated scene to unrelated scene was challenging. The transitions were not deliberate enough in terms of threading a story. I do enjoy Cassandra Campbell's narration. Her pace, accents, and inflection are exceptional.

Hard to Listen

Revisado: 03-10-23

Really well written, but the author should have turned over the narration to a professional. I couldn't listen to Charles drone on any further without the slightest bit of voice emotion, inflection, or emphasis. I'll read the book.

Great story, average audio performance

Revisado: 02-24-23

A classic well written biography of a fascinating, very accomplished leader. I'm glad the author didn't pull punches in the portrayal of Lombardi's personal life. For the life of me, I can't understand why audio narrators do not get phonetic spellings of key names. While I like the narrator's portrayal of Lombardi's accent, the mispronunciation of Paul Hornung's name throughout this audio book version is unacceptable and very distracting.

Masterful

Revisado: 11-16-22

Incredible writing about the trials of growing up poor from a children's perspective. Narration by the author made the book even better, brought everything to life. I laughed and cried out loud in my car. Tremendously entertaining.

Great Listen

Revisado: 10-14-20

Great story of perseverance and hope. Very few audio books capture my interest to the point that I continue to listen when I am not commuting or working out. This one did, I didn't want to stop listening. I enjoyed the format, both narrators and how it all came together. I would recommend this to just about anyone. Very enjoyable and inspiring.

Listener beware ...

Revisado: 01-31-20

This author is very self-aggrandizing and goes way too far into the political realm. He would do better to stick to science and how it can help people lead healthier lives as we age. I couldn't finish the book.

Captivating

Revisado: 01-27-20

Great story, great narration. Kept me captivated until the end. I normally don't read novels, mostly history and memoir. But this was a treat, an escape to another time and place that the author and narrator captured beautifully.

The author should have narrated ...

Revisado: 01-17-20

Fascinating and underappreciated insight to the power of sleep as a critical component of health. I'm certainly a believer. This is a must read for anyone interested in health beyond the worlds of diet and exercise. Unfortunately, I saw the author on a Joe Rogan podcast. Maybe it was Joe Rogan's interview, but I found Matthew Walker to be very engaging and charismatic. The narrator Steve West fell way short with his monotone, unenthusiastic voice. Matthew Walker should have taken the time to read it himself and bring his concepts to life better with readers. So ... I think it's a better read than it is a listen.
