Enlightenment

Revisado: 11-14-17

Thank you Rabbi for these 9 important lessons. I will try to remember what you’ve taught me in these hours of listening and live my life accordingly. There were wise words for those who doubt and those with faith. Those who despair and they who are happy. As aren’t we all these at one time or another?

Overhyped just like her first book

Revisado: 10-28-17

I enjoyed listening but there was no mystery. I knew the big question answers early on and she didn't answer some of the small questions. I felt disappointed when it ended. The readers were good but I expected more from the writer.

Sacred words. Beautifully read. Moving story.

Revisado: 01-10-17

Every word is so perfectly written. Poetry. The characters came alive in the narrator's voice. I laughed, I cried, I wrote down quotes. An exquisite book with so many memorable and vivid

A long winding road well worth taking

Revisado: 04-29-16

Beautifully written, beautifully read. Loved the reader's pronunciation of words and character voices. Even though I figured out part of the mystery early on there were still enough twists and turns to keep me spellbound and anxious to hear all of it. I loved going back and forth in time and getting the story from several points of view. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves mysteries. You won't be disappointed.

Important information that you should know

Revisado: 04-27-16

A little dated now but still very important information about the way we eat and how our food comes about. Loved hearing about the "grass" farmer. It's going to change how I look at food and what I eat from now on. The reader mispronounced some words and was slightly monotone but it's a long book and I made it through.

Should have been edited for reading

Revisado: 11-17-15

Too many he said, she said, he asked, etc. should have cut those. Performance suffered from terrible Spanish accent mispronouncing Oscar. Story a bit trite but can see appeal to young adults. Especially those questioning their sexual orientation.

Sissy Spacek makes this great

Revisado: 11-03-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely. It's better than reading the book. I tried to read it because it's so famous, but I found it difficult. Listening to Sissy Spacek read it made it into a performance.

What was one of the most memorable moments of To Kill a Mockingbird?

The children walking home from the school pageant was probably one of the most memorable moments of the book.

Have you listened to any of Sissy Spacek’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've sought out books that she reads. Coal Miner's Daughter (Loretta Lynn's story) and her own book about her extraordinary ordinary life. Everything she reads is golden. And her own book was unbelievably well written and interesting. She's got a terrific voice, is a fantastic actress and very well suited to reading books for audio. I could listen to her voice all day long (and I have!).

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A little girl's view of her early life

Good read for trail collectors

Revisado: 11-03-15

If you could sum up A Walk for Sunshine in three words, what would they be?

put you there

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Walk for Sunshine?

when he brought residents from the Sunshine Center out to walk

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

realizing that his brother would never be able to share in his walk, and yet feeling that he was connected to him providing inspiration was lovely

Any additional comments?

I've read many books about walking long trails. The reasons that people walk are always interesting. This was the first I read about someone raising money for a great cause that was completely personal to him. He described his walk vividly so that I felt like I took every step with him. This is important to me because I aspire to walk one of these long trails but so far have just been reading about them.

She's a writer in addition to her many other talents!

Revisado: 08-26-15

She acts. She sings. She writes. Sissy Spacek can do everything. Well. Loved her book. She told all the stories I wanted to hear. I love her voice. Would listen to her read anything. Loved her reading of TKAM. She seems like she's a real person and a good mother. I admire her. Will now watch and enjoy all of her movies again knowing more about how each one was made.

Everyone need to read this!

Revisado: 04-28-15

It'll depress you to hear how we've messed up our old planet but we need to do what we can not to make it worse. I feel energized and ready to make some changes. Everyone else should too! My only complaint about the reading is the attempts to affect accents when quoting others. I'd say better to get someone who can do that or just don't try. It detracted from the performance.
