Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

This book blew my mind!!
Revisado: 10-20-18
Exquisite is the only word that will do this book justice. I was so drawn into Tara Westover's life that I could think of little else when I wasn't listening to it. I was raised in, and am still an active member of, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or, as we are referred to in the book, the Mormons. When Tara lived at Buck's Peak, I was working teaching school only 5 miles away, and living roughly 10 miles away. Her experience growing up in a Mormon family was completely foreign to me and was nothing like what I experienced growing up in a Mormon family, which is why I was so fascinated by this book. Tara is a master of the English language and tells her story in a way that held me captive until the very end. It was breathtaking and I was inspired by her courage. Very well done Tara Westover!!

Celebrity Charles James can't shake the nightmare that wakes him each night. He sees himself walking down a long, broken highway, the sides of which are lit in flames. Where is he going? Why is he walking? What is the wailing he hears around him? By day he wonders why he's so haunted and unhappy when he has all he ever wanted - fame, fans, and fortune and the lavish lifestyle it affords him. Coming from a childhood of poverty and pain, this is what he's dreamed of. But now, at the pinnacle of his career, he's started to wonder if he's wanted the wrong things.

I have enjoyed other books from this author. This one has not been my favorite. Also, the author should not read his own books. If he does insist on doing so, he, at least, needs to lose the Utah dialect (I am from Utah, so I am very aware of this)...steal is not pronounced still, meal is not pronounced mill, feel is not pronounced fill, etc. There are many talented performers that could, and should, do the reading for him.

Who is Nola Brown? Nola is a mystery. Nola is trouble. And Nola is supposed to be dead. Her body was found on a plane that mysteriously fell from the sky as it left a secret military base in the Alaskan wilderness. Her commanding officer verifies she's dead. The US government confirms it. But Jim "Zig" Zigarowski has just found out the truth: Nola is still alive. And on the run.

This book was a huge disappointment!!
Revisado: 04-01-18
I can't even bring myself to finish this book! It was OK, but the last 10 chapters really went downhill. I didn't like the narration and the author severely overused cliches and much of the book was overdramatized. The violence (which I don't like anyway) was a bit too graphic. I want my money back!
