Historia
Harvey Milk - eloquent, charismatic, and a smart-aleck - was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977, but he had not even served a full year in office when he was shot by a homophobic fellow supervisor. Milk's assassination at the age of 48 made him the most famous gay man in modern history; 20 years later, Time magazine included him on its list of the hundred most influential individuals of the 20th century.

Harvey Milk’s story is filled with drama. Beautifully portrait here. The narrator expressed the full pathos and energy in the life of this extraordinary person.

Historia
The irascible A. J. Fikry, owner of Island Books - the only bookstore on Alice Island - has already lost his wife. Now his most prized possession, a rare book, has been stolen from right under his nose in the most embarrassing of circumstances. The store itself, it seems, will be next to go. One night upon closing, he discovers a toddler in his children’s section with a note from her mother pinned to her Elmo doll: I want Maya to grow up in a place with books and among people who care about such kinds of things. I love her very much, but I can no longer take care of her.

Vividly honest
Revisado: 03-09-25
The author vividly describes her struggles with addiction, mental illness and medical environments offering few supports and awful obstacles. She skillfully renders the price people pay for toxic work environments that are all too common. The narrator beautifully embodies the author's rage, frustration, confusion and longing. The wonderful authenticity of her reading allows the listener to ride, understand and feel the turbulent ups and downs the author faces and fears.

Historia
Hace mucho tiempo—a long time ago—there lived a beautiful young woman named Adelita. So begins the age-old tale of a kindhearted young woman, her jealous stepmother, two hateful stepsisters, and a young man in search of a wife. The young man, Javier, falls madly in love with beautiful Adelita, but she disappears from his fiesta at midnight, leaving him with only one clue to her hidden identity: a beautiful rebozo—shawl. With the rebozo in place of a glass slipper, this favorite fairy tale takes a delightful twist. This is a Cinderella story like no other.

A Gem!
Revisado: 03-04-25
De Paola beautifully transports the Cinderella tale to a Mexican home and characters. Instead of the glass slipper, we have a lovely rebozo. Instead of the fairy godmother, a warm and faithful housekeeper. The bits of Spanish in the text are quickly translated making them easy to understand (and perhaps learn)? The narrator creates a wonderful spectrum of characters: Sweet Adelita, loving and protective Esperanza and a perfectly wicked Latinx stepmother. This is a delightful listen for adults and children alike.

Awful
Revisado: 01-06-24
I hated this title. The narrator was rushed, monotone, no feeling. So was the story. Pointless.
The most horrendous description of a rape I've ever heard. My husband wanted to hear it so I suffered through it. I don't know what the Pulitzer people were thinking of.

Historia
God is change. That is the central truth of the Earthseed movement, whose unlikely prophet is 18-year-old Lauren Olamina. The young woman's diary entries tell the story of her life amid a violent 21st-century hell of walled neighborhoods and drug-crazed pyromaniacs - and reveal her evolving Earthseed philosophy. Against a backdrop of horror emerges a message of hope: if we are willing to embrace divine change, we will survive to fulfill our destiny among the stars.

As other reviewers said, this was not an easy book to listen to. But it was beautifully written, moving, involving. We needed to make it to the end. The narrator was perfect. Unlike some others, I thought her pace was excellent, perfect for the book
