A triumph!

Revisado: 01-26-24

Daniel Mason is masterful with language abs story and insight. This story follows a forest and a house with its various inhabitants through centuries.
There’s a supernatural aspect that pleases, gorgeous depictions of the woods and an awe-inspiring weaving of interconnected webs that tell stories of life, live, loss, death, continuity and change.
Highly recommend.

Beautifully told story of love

Revisado: 01-07-24

I found this story to be beautifully told. I loved the insights into life and love, in many permutations, suffering and joy. The characters were so engaging. I’ve never played video games, and one needn’t to love this story. I was carried away by its turns and revelations. Loved it.

So disappointing

Revisado: 01-03-24

The story is interesting. Exceedingly loosely based on the day book entries of an actual midwife, Martha Ballard, in the late 1700s in Maine. Lawhon has taken all the liberties anyone would need to craft a terrific tale. Yet her writing is so mediocre that it takes all the joy out of reading this story. The narrator, similarly, has about two tones. It’s all so mediocre when it had the potential to be an excellent story. But would need a more skilled writer for that. It could be worse, I suppose. But very disappointing. Would not recommend.

Simple beauty in expert storytelling

Revisado: 12-17-23

Just a lovely story. It might strike one as simple, but the complexity of human emotion and relationships, the passage of time and the meaning in our lives is told in a way that Ann Patchett makes seem effortless.

I can’t imagine a more perfect narrator for this story than Meryl Streep. She was flawless.

Highly recommend.

Contrived without benefit

Revisado: 08-13-23

For me, the story barely holds together. The characters are underdeveloped and questionable. There’s little redeeming to this reading experience.

Loved this book! Anand expertly profiles some of our iconic social justice movement leaders. Engrossing and informative.

Outstanding.

Revisado: 11-17-19

The writing is gorgeous. The story is that of the son of Nigerian immigrants growing up in Utah and Texas, then into young adulthood. Folarin expertly draws the reader into his character’s mind and we experience the poignancy of every moment. It will touch you deeply. And The Audible narration is extraordinary

Terrible Narration Good Story

Revisado: 02-12-19

I really enjoyed the story, but the terrible narration made it extremely hard to listen to. Such a shame

I just couldn't stand the narration

Revisado: 09-12-18

I can't even review the story because I just can't stand the narration. The story may be wonderful, but I won't know until I get it in book or kindle form. Just can't listen to the audible version one more minute. The narrator has a prominent accent, I guess New York or Long Island, and it is so distracting and doesn't fit at all for a young girl from Montana. Her inflections are off and it's so awful to listen to that I absolutely can't finish the book. Her voice and accent just doesn't fit the story and is terribly distracting.
