Disappointing autobiography

Revisado: 04-19-25

I wonder how many times the author used "I", "me", and "myself"? It felt like a million. The narration sounded like a 4th grade teacher - talking to children in an overly animated tone. This book is an author telling her life story and stories about people she knows. It is not about facilitating change. I kept pushing through each chapter waiting for the stories to end, waiting for a change in tone, and finally gave up. Sometimes you have to make a decision to cut your losses in life, and I did it. I wasted money on the book and my time, listening to it. I don't care how it ends. I am done.

The unique voices and perspectives of our beloved dogs.

Revisado: 11-16-24

This book came to me at just the right time. I needed Quincy's wisdom to help me through some tough life experiences that seem to keep coming, with my dogs and humans. The narrator has a great voice, which for me, is really important with audiobooks. Having dogs in my life brings such a special type of loving relationship and Quincy shares his viewpoint of his life as a dog. I appreciate the gifts this story gives to the listener and I think every dog owner will enjoy this book.

Highly recommend listening to this story

Revisado: 11-22-23

I have occasionally traveled by train into NYC and enjoyed meeting people and learning their stories. You just never know what they may teach you. This book took me on an escape on a train like I have experienced in the past but gave me even more than just a story. It comes from a genuine foundation in the authors heritage to which he was born and takes you on the trip of a lifetime into America that forever changed the future for his family of origin. The train excursion takes the writer and reader on another trip of self discovery. In these current times, we all need the messages in this book. I will listen to it regularly. It's a little multifaceted gem. Enjoy.

Was hoping for more

Revisado: 06-04-22

It was a quick listen, not a lot of substance. I feel like there is more that needs to be written on the subject. It ended quickly.

Wise and wonderful

Revisado: 06-04-22

I feel like Agapi is my wise Greek auntie. She keeps the chapters just long enough with a meditation or reflection at the end of each. Just a bit preachy at times.

I listen to this every night.

Revisado: 06-04-22

This recording helps me relax and fall asleep. I set it for 30 minutes and it works great, even if I wake up in the middle of the night, I just reset the time.

Interesting

I liked it more than I expected to. The narration was very slow at times.

Average

Revisado: 06-04-22

Narration was too focused on herself, using "I" constantly. This should have been edited better.

Relax to Sleep

Revisado: 07-14-21

I have listened to this dozens of times. Most often, I fall asleep before it is over. I can always rely on this medication to help relax me. Some of the words are distracting, but for the most part this flows well.
