Lovely!

Revisado: 03-15-25

4.5 ⭐
A lovely summary of a bunch of interesting cases in which the bones were the key to uncover the mystery. Sue Black is a master in writing easy to follow, interesting stories with a splash of wittiness. This is the second book I read by her, and I am sure I'll keep on reaching for anything she writes. Also, the audiobook is read out by her, which makes it all the more fun and real. The perfect book for when you need a break from all those heavy stories! Bravo 👏🏻

Straight to my favourites

Revisado: 09-23-24

Without a doubt, the BEST book I've read in a long time. I can't yet grasp how Hanya Yanagihara is able to touch upon so many different topics and aspects of life in such a seamless way and deep level. I laughed, I cried, I felt very uncomfortable, I understood. Not once I felt bored, not once I wanted to skip a page. I'll be talking about this book for quite a long time, I foresee. Simple idea, one of the most intricate and complex, yet flawless executions. Outstanding writing. Can't recommend it enough.

I learnt a lot!

Revisado: 04-26-22

I loved this book. It is funny and clever, and wonderfully written. Being myself a doctor I have a background on basic biology and anatomy, but that was not at all necessary to understand any part of the book. I love how it dived into the matter of dying and how people are entitled to have a preference about the management of their death. It was wonderful to read about the author's view, and all her interesting and often very difficult adventures around the world. It was beautiful to learn about the life of such an extraordinary woman, and quite an unknown profession.

It was wonderfully narrated, although I did miss the author telling her own story, or at least someone with an accent that would resemble hers. She did a very good job, nonetheless!

Really recommend this book!

Loved it!

4.5

I enjoyed these short stories very much. I loved how each of them has something unique to them - whether it is how YOU make love to a physicist (my favourite without a doubt - so very special that it is told in the second person), or that it is written in epistolary format, or that you never get to know the name of the main character because to her mother she was always only "Daughter". I loved the writing, the setting for all the stories, and the fact that they are all so different from each other while still having church ladies in common. Marvellous narration as well. So happy that I picked it up.

The best I've read all year, one of the bests ever

Revisado: 11-03-21

I loved this book from beginning to end - in fact, I did not want it to end. It is a remarkable story, beautifully told. There is nothing I'd say could make it better.

Absolutely marvellous narration!

Revisado: 05-09-21

The story is fantastic, and it's probably the best audiobook I've ever listened to. The combination makes for an outstanding experience that makes you want to finish the book in one sitting. Taylor Jenkins Reads' audiobooks make you believe what you're listening to is real. I put down the book for a moment and feel like I would Google her characters and I would find thousands of pages of these fenomenal people, of their music, of their stories. I just wish someone would produce the songs she's written about in this book! 100% recommended.

The best audiobook I've ever listened to

Revisado: 06-17-20

Outstanding story, outstanding writing, outstanding narration. If this book ends up being the best book I read this year, I'll be more than happy. It is undoubtedly the best narration of a book I've ever listened to. For the story and the insight it gives into black slavery and white supremacy in the US and all over in the past century it is a must read. And for the amazing narration of this particular audiobook, it is a must listen. Overall, one of the best reading experiences of my life. Absolutely stunning.

A lovely classic!

Revisado: 05-08-20

So glad I decided to pick it up. I loved the writing, and I loved how the characters were drawn. I thought it fascinating to know about a girl from her very early days, and how everything that happened in her life -not and easy one!- helped her being shaped into the woman she finally became. I thought it was a genius book, especially as it was written in the past century. Strong female lead, working towards he defined and strong beliefs, not caring what society thinks of her or her actions. It was heartbreaking at times, but I also laughed out loud at other! A classic worth choosing. I will certainly read more of Charlotte Brontë in the future.

Stunning work

Revisado: 10-11-19

Beautiful, detailed story of a woman with a big heart and even bigger dreams who managed to stand out in a world in which everything was against it. A true inspiration.

Nice but I won't continue the series

Revisado: 08-18-19

I liked the story, although I believe it was slightly underdeveloped. I would have liked a bigger mystery to be uncovered after all the police investigation, or some sort of major plot twist.
About the narrator, I really enjoyed the female voice (Lauren Ezzo), but I disliked the male narrator (Mel Foster) as he made it look as if it was a documentary he was voicing over rather than a fiction book.
