Historia
A burnout at thirty-five, months behind on his book, low on cash, and something of a loser, Eddie Spinola could use a shot in the arm. One day he randomly runs into Vernon, his ex-wife's brother, and his ex-dealer. Now employed by a shadowy pharmaceutical company, Vernon has something that might help: a new designer drug that stimulates brain function. One pill and Eddie is hooked. His book is finished within days; he learns and synthesizes information at a frightening rate; and he can go a long time without sleep or food.

Historia
I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

Hilarious and thought provoking!
Revisado: 02-12-21
So glad Matthew took the time to write his memoir. A reflection on life itself, so much more than his acting career. Postive view of life. I will be looking for more greenlights in my own life, and bumper stickers too!

Changed completely the way I see money!
Revisado: 02-11-21
This book gave me hope- real hope that I can get my finances in order, get completely out of debt, and save and grow money for the things that matter without taking on more debt to do it. I am ready to re-listen to this audiobook and start the makeover.

Epic account of abuse and survival
Revisado: 10-25-20
Powerful story of a kidnapped girl's survival. A wake up call to all medical professionals and police about signs to look for as to when to interviene. Hard to listen to due to content, but very necessary. I doubt few girls would have been as strong as Anna was.

Historia
Before John Glenn orbited the Earth or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as "human computers" used pencils, slide rules, and adding machines to calculate the numbers that would launch rockets and astronauts into space. Among these problem solvers were a group of exceptionally talented African American women, some of the brightest minds of their generation.

Important, but story drags
Revisado: 08-02-20
Important story that needs to be told and taught in schools as part of history. However the book could have been shortened to half the length. Too many unnecessary details that take away from the characters. I have 4 hours still to go and I am no longer enjoying the book.

Coffee, tea and caffeine. A journey around the world and through history in a little over 2 hours. Enjoyable and made me think on some things I had not previously.

A beautiful, strong, black woman
Revisado: 06-28-20
Casey's life story is well worth reading. She survived domestic violence and a difficult childhood. But I like how she tells her story; it is a postive tone, not one that leaves the reader feeling weighed down and depressed. She is courageous, a fighter, and someone deserving of love. I hope her story will help other women, or men, to see that they are valuable even when others are oppressing them.

Historia
In In Order to Live, Yeonmi Park shines a light not just into the darkest corners of life in North Korea, describing the deprivation and deception she endured and which millions of North Korean people continue to endure to this day, but also onto her own most painful and difficult memories. She tells with bravery and dignity for the first time the story of how she and her mother were betrayed and sold into sexual slavery in China and forced to suffer terrible psychological and physical hardship before they finally made their way to Seoul, South Korea - and to freedom.

Should have a movie made
Revisado: 06-23-20
Wow. So young but so strong. Such a burning desire to keep fighting to live. Yeonmi's true life story is definitely worth the time to read or listen to. Worth reading more than once. I would love to see someone make a movie of her escape from North Korea and her determination. So glad she shared her story. It will help thousands, if not millions.
