Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 30
Catherine the Great was a woman of notorious passion and imperial ambition. Prince Potemkin was the love of her life and her co-ruler. Together they seized Ukraine and Crimea, territories that define the Russian sphere of influence to this day. Their affair was so tumultuous that they negotiated an arrangement to share power, leaving each of them free to take younger lovers. But these “twin souls” never stopped loving each other.

Attention to detail
Revisado: 12-10-24
There’s way too much information in this book, which goes on forever. This writer could have used a better editor. I enjoy attention to details and history to a point but this book i had to dump midway through because i just couldn’t enjoy this much minutiae.

You Are a Badass at Making Money is a refreshingly frank and entertaining step-by-step guide to overcoming the fears and stumbling blocks that have kept financial success out of reach and to giving yourself the permission to make the kind of money you've never made before.

Would you try another book from Jen Sincero and/or Jen Sincero?
No. This psycho stuff is just a bunch of positive thinking and she is making millions off of saps who believe this junk.
Would you ever listen to anything by Jen Sincero again?

Ruth Jefferson is a labor and delivery nurse at a Connecticut hospital with more than 20 years’ experience. During her shift, Ruth begins a routine checkup on a newborn, only to be told a few minutes later that she’s been reassigned to another patient. The parents are white supremacists and don’t want Ruth, who is African American, to touch their child. The hospital complies with their request, but the next day, the baby goes into cardiac distress while Ruth is alone in the nursery. Does she obey orders or does she intervene?

Would you listen to Small Great Things again? Why?
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Audra McDonald is simply amazing. One of the best performances I've experienced on Audible.

With a career, a boyfriend, and a loving family, Piper Kerman barely resembles the reckless young woman who delivered a suitcase of drug money 10 years ago. But that past has caught up with her. Convicted and sentenced to 15 months at the infamous federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut, the well-heeled Smith College alumna is now inmate #11187-424 - one of the millions of women who disappear "down the rabbit hole" of the American penal system.

Actually nothing much happens here
Revisado: 07-31-13
Would you try another book from Piper Kerman and/or Cassandra Campbell?
I'd listen to Cassandra, but I think I'd rather not try another book by Piper
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Well, its a biography so unless it was fiction you can't really change the fact that prison is prison
Did Cassandra Campbell do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Yes, voice inflection and characterizations
Did Orange Is the New Black inspire you to do anything?
Nope.
Any additional comments?
If you are expecting some action like in the series on Netflix you will be sorely disappointed. I don't really care for this book because it fizzled out in the end. There just wasn't much to talk about once Piper was off to testify and it should have ended before that or after she got home. I'd like to know how she adjusted to life on the outside, but we don't get any of that and I don't think I'd read a whole book about it...so that leaves me at an fork in the road. I think that Piper writes well, but her over effusive love of family and Larry got a little bit silly. She does understand that she is a privileged white chick and that is admirable.
