Introspective and Entertaining

Revisado: 05-10-18

Kundera blends thoughtful musings on life, art, love, happiness, destiny etc. with great character development and storytelling. The narrative follows the lives, decisions, and inner monologues of several main characters. It is well-written and entertaining. I enjoyed the narration by Richmond Hoxie as well.

Blew My Mind

Revisado: 05-10-18

Wow! This book is so beautiful and haunting. It will stay with you long after you finish listening to it. It is both poetic and highly informative. I learned so much about North Korea and the lives of defectors. This is an extremely important book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend it. Also, Karen White does a fantastic job narrating!

Fantastically Unusual

Revisado: 05-10-18

I listened to this entire book on a road trip across the country and it was the perfect fit for my trip. Thoughtful, humorous, weird, and sexy, this book will keep you entertained for hours. Robbins has a unique style of writing and tells a coming-of-age tale with quite a bit of charm. The writing begs to be listened to and Tom Robbins does a superb job narrating.

Fans of Murakami Will Not Be Disappointed

Revisado: 05-10-18

I love Haruki Murakami and read everything he writes. I read some reviews saying that "South of the Border, West of the Sun" is not his best work and is therefore not worth reading, but I disagree. My favorite Murakami book is still "Kafka on the Shore," but I found this book to be complex, psychological, entertaining, and well worth my time. Eric Loren gave a brilliant performance as narrator. If you are a fan of Murakami's work, then I highly recommend this lovely little book.

I didn't finish it, but I still recommend it

Revisado: 10-21-17

The content of this book is invaluable to anyone interested in deepening friendships and making new friends faster and more effectively. I devoured the first 8 chapters of this book! I couldn't get enough! But after a while, I felt that the author began repeating her ideas over and over, just in different words. Perhaps I just for burned out on it, but I wasn't able to finish the book even though I tried multiple times. The narrator is hard to get used to. Her delivery feels dry and monotone at first, but after awhile it gets better. Even though I didn't finish the book, I have still shared it with two friends because the information I received even during the first few chapters was more than worth the price of the book.

Poetic, dry humor and outstanding delivery

Revisado: 10-21-17

I have read most of Sedaris' writing, and this book is my favorite so far. If you enjoy humorous and poetic stories about family, love, death, and adolescence, you will love this book. I listened to it for hours every day and even listened to a couple of chapters multiple times. Sedaris' narration is near perfection. His dry humor and timely delivery make for pure listening pleasure.

Superb narration and good writing

Revisado: 10-21-17

I've been a fan of Kate Mulgrew's acting for years, and I love memoirs, so I was excited to begin "Born with Teeth." I was not disappointed. While the writing was better than I expected, and the story was very interesting, my favorite part of this book was Mulgrew's narration. Her voice is wonderful to listen to and her delivery was outstanding--highly engaging! I would recommend this book to any fellow memoir enthusiast and/or fan of her work!
