AWFUL Performance

Revisado: 04-24-25

Sounds absolutely terrible- like a child learning to read but without the endearing quality of being a child. This has to be AI and it’s bad AI. I couldn’t get past the second chapter.

Outstanding

Revisado: 12-04-24

Do you remember where you were when you saw the incomparable Billy Porter in the Christian Siriano black velvet tuxedo ball gown? Groundbreaking, Transformative, Outstanding. The power in that silence fills me up but this book digs into the past as to how he became one of our favorite gay POC’s on screen. A must read~ how can you understand someone without hearing the depths of their story. This book will fill your eyes with tears, twist a knot of frustration in your heart and turn your knuckles white at the injustices endured. Billy Porter has more strength than I know. He’s a fighter, an artist, an activist& I wish I could be more like him… or rather I will be a bigger & better person in the future for having read this. Then immediately upon finishing I see Mr. Porter OPENING the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Owning the road & laying it all out. I have SO Much Respect for him. WWBPD… ask yourself What Would Billy Porter Do?! WORK!

I’m finally hearing the entire story of WW2. A Must Read.

Revisado: 10-01-24

In my journey to try to understand the atrocities of WW2, I now understand that I can never understand.

This story touches you more than memoirs focusing on life & survival from ghettos or concentration camps. Detailing the rich history and absolute joy of growing up in a Polish Shtetl, Michael weaves a thorough map of the depth of community that was lost in the Holocaust.

What hit me the hardest is that this story continues beyond the liberation of camps, continuing into the reconstruction of Michael’s life, the continued anti-semitism around the world, the life of hundreds of thousands of refugees with no country willing to take them in. You don’t hear about this in many books. You’re liberated, *Congratulations* and Everyone lives happily ever after. They don’t talk about the recurring trauma and nightmares, the true effect of living through absolute hell.

This is a remarkable book I finally feel like I’m hearing the entire story.

Good read +/-

It’s a good spy novel although predictable. Wasn’t Outstanding but overall it was worth the read.

Essential WW2 reading-

Revisado: 09-06-24

From the point of view of an anti-fascist German, this book gives incredible insight into the transition from WW1 to Nazi Germany; answering the question “How could regular Germans have let this happen?” This should be an absolute cornerstone in anyone’s research into WW2.

Beautifully written

Revisado: 04-21-24

Beautifully written based on an old history pulled together through the author’s research. The perfect way to immerse yourself before a trip to Scotland.

Give it a minute

Revisado: 04-15-24

Takes a bit to get into and it’s an unusual style of writing but her descriptions draw you in and weave the tale. In the end it is beautifully written and highly recommended.

3rd person is impersonal-

Revisado: 01-18-24

Heart wrenching history broken down well. I had a hard time connecting with the story in the second section though- I’d definitely like to see the movie

I would recommend this lecture series to everyone & am sad to see it leave the Audible catalog- it’s absolutely spot on.

Finally safely speaking his truth

Revisado: 01-13-23

Silenced his whole life while lies were constantly told about him, he can finally safely speak his truth.

Everyone must read this book to hear the story directly from Harry, none of this “palace insider” bs. It’s remarkable to hear how it all fell apart & how the British media is at the root of it all. At the end, the firm seems so cult-like the way the pushed him out & cut him off.

It must be noted that Harry’s most important argument against this royal assault is that the proceeds from the book are going to all British charities.

Cheers to Harry & Meghan for raising above it all and thriving! Chin, chin 🥂
