Poetic and Sad

Revisado: 08-29-17

This story was very artfully done. The words are like prose but still tell you the full story. The narrators American accent is funny and Nepalese sounds Irish at times, but overall I really enjoyed this audiobook

Don't be distracted

Revisado: 10-21-16

I think I need to listen to this again. She has a great personality and the topic is easy to relate to, but it's not terribly engaging so I found that even minor road hazards totally distracted me and I had to rewind. For me perhaps this would have been better as a read than a listen.

Fascinating

Revisado: 10-16-16

I don't know if this is the first tell all of the playboy mansion, and man, but I found it surprising and interesting. I assumed it wasn't all roses as they portrayed in the tv show but certainly had no idea it was this toxic. I have to imagine it was cathartic for Holly to write this book. I do wonder the truth behind all she said about herself personally. She painted a very sweet, innocent, kind and easy character of herself. It's worth the listen

I will listen to again

Revisado: 10-16-16

This is educational text, so if you're looking for a fun story this isn't it. I found it incredibly interesting and fun and actually makes me curious to find out about my ancestry DNA profile. It also helps to explain a lot of the complexities of both my native English language but also the many others I've struggled to learn. Understanding the context of the differences makes it even more interesting to learn a new language. I'm inspired by this book to learn more!

Heavy and engaging

Revisado: 09-24-16

This book will suck you in, pull you down, wind you up. It's sad and fascinating and frustrating but incredibly engaging. I feel like I know each character personally, like I live and grew up there. The narrator builds the feeling and characters with just the slightest change in her tone. I'm intrigued to continue on in the series.

Loved it!

Revisado: 08-11-16

Absolutely entertaining, creative and imaginative story. Whimsical yet dark filled with fantasy and hard reality. A true testament about not judging a book by its cover with each character in this book. Loved the complex interactions and individual stories. The narrator really captured the attitudes and personality of the characters. I wondered if I would have liked the book so much if I read it. I highly recommend!

Great stories, acceptable narration

Revisado: 06-18-16

Love the intrigue and conniving in these stories and maybe even a little bit of history? The narration is energetic but I feel every character was a stereotype, all the women sounded like whining hags, and sometimes the voices got confused. Still worth the listen

Fantastic!

Revisado: 05-20-16

This narrator is the best I've heard yet. Switching between man, woman, child, French, English, German and American accents flawlessly. She captured the emotions and passions and anger of each character. The story yet another about WWII but from a beautiful angle, featuring the heroics of rebels and those that were left behind to suffer under such cruel circumstances. Rarely are the women of the resistance ever mentioned or featured in a story. I'm sad for the story to end.

Great story

Revisado: 02-16-16

I loved the different readers for each main female character. Some were fantastic at narrating the male and female character, others not so much. I had a hard time keeping up with the timeline sometimes, it jumped around a bit, but overall the story was very enjoyable. Suspenseful, surprising and engaging.
