Phenomenal Follow-up to a phenomenal sci-fi epic

Revisado: 07-18-23

I loved Children of Time (the first book in this series), so I immediately bought this book after finishing it, and boy was I not disappointed! Adrien has done a fantastic job of showing and telling a realistic story about life in outer space, the true potential diversity of alien life, and the massive amount of effort it can take to communicate inter-specially - all while staying well within the currently understood bounds of physics, biology and neuropsychology. If you’re as big a science and linguistics nerd as I am, this is a must read! Cannot recommend this series as a whole highly enough.

One of the unknown stories from the Cold War

Revisado: 03-11-22

I had a hard time putting this down. I found extra things to do so I could keep listening. As the author says, "The timeline is condensed, " but this does not take away from the story. This a good reminder of the good people in the world who do good because it's right despite their fears and not because they will get credit for what they do.

We are the daughters...

Revisado: 03-24-21

This was a fun origin story for fans of Gillian Gallagher and the school she founded. I wished it were longer, but nonetheless it was satisfactory to see our favorite characters bond.

A tale of human conquest of one's self

Revisado: 10-24-20

This was a fairly comprehensive biography of Grant that dispelled the aura of cronyism that Grant's legacy left and showed a how a man may overcome alcoholism and be loyal to a fault and detriment of many. The author also made a case for his greatness as one who championed the rights of a once enslaved people to enfranchisement and wiping out the first Ku Klux Klan. Grant was beloved by the Union soldiers and later by the former Confederate soldiers, the mark of true greatness.

Not bad for a high-school romance

This was a fast listen. Usually I don't like high-school romances, but this one was nice and clean. The teammates dating was a fun twist.

A Complete Biography

Revisado: 08-18-20

This book met all my requirements in a presidential biography. That is certainly easier to achieve with some presidents than others because of the information available to write about. Abraham Lincoln's life is better recorded than most because many people researched his early life through interviewing those who knew him. Ron White creates an intriguing narrative of his early life and professions which contributed to the man that voters saw and chose as their president.

What a cast of characters!

Revisado: 08-14-20

I read this as my biography about Andrew Johnson, as there are not a lot of available choices. In addition to the story of this period in his life, I was rewarded with the stories of the many people who took part in the politics of the day. I have thought that Andrew Johnson may have been a man of integrity, but was loyal to the wrong ideas.
I expected some references to other impeachments, but those were only mentioned in the concluding chapter. I really loved the concluding premise of the role this impeachment played in the solidifying of our nation.
Gabra Zackman did a marvelous job.

Sweet story

A fun story with a little conflict. I really enjoyed the narrator who could voice "peppiness" really well.

This novella was perfect for a rainy winter day. It was a warm and sweet story of best friends who lost track of each other but found strength in each other in the supposed to be happy time of Christmas.
