Not the Rule

Dramatic Family Dynamics

Revisado: 09-24-24

I love that it's a cozy small town mystery... I enjoy the plot twists, and loved the world building threads that weave each book in the series together. This is something the author has always excelled at, and why I've stuck to reading her work my whole life. :)

However, I really dislike the constant references to diets and the characters fat shaming themselves. And I especially hate the constant attempts at the authors self insert, meta, former romance writer, nonsense that comes from the character named Sarah.

Overall it's a pleasant junk food type book. I finished each one in a single sitting. So they're quick reads, and fun too.

horrible women tropes

Revisado: 01-18-24

I don't really understand why everyone leaving reviews on this book are saying there was lots of surprises, and twists and turns... when us the reader, were aware of every single fact that the protagonist was trying to uncover in, her research. The story was not surprising at all, and it was dissatisfying to know the answers before the protagonist did.
the most egregious character trait for me, is the protagonists "I'm not like other girls" type of personality. as if being in college and reading books makes you "quirky"?
This is simply dumb.

That said, a 12-year-old girl thinking her period is a ghost haunting her, that's one of the most original storylines I've ever heard of in my life, and I found it quite amusing.

Enjoyed it a lot. He tries to come across self aware of his cockiness... as a Buddhist must. but I'm not sure he isn't full of himself. lol

Completely Original

Revisado: 01-06-24

This is such a unique way to relate a biography of ones life, I've never read anything like it before. I also really enjoyed the scientific insights to fish, despite coming into thinking I'd find it boring. Lovely reading as well, one of the best audio performances I've listened to on here.

Catharsis in a Book

Revisado: 01-23-23

I can only imagine that Harry feels immense catharsis at the end of writing this... I hope his brother will one day do the work of overcoming trauma, so that they can be reunited again as brothers and family.
I found it incredibly moving, and will be buying multiple copies to gift to friends and family.

nothing new

Revisado: 10-13-22

I have read all of the biographical books by Tony, and by Tony's friends, and nothing presented here is new, or even remotely interesting, information. It feels like the author relished in sprinkling in hearsay, speculation, and his own opinions.

Most of the info in this book is recycled from Tony's own works. If you really want to know about the man, read his books, read Tom Vitale's book, watch his Travel shows, and peruse his social media history... This wasn't worth my audible credit.

It gets three stars, instead of two, for at the very least being well written and nicely performed. Good Job on the sound.

It's fine

Revisado: 04-18-22

I struggled to stay focused on this one, I found the information useful, but the narration was stale, and involved a lot of sighing which I found gross. It took me weeks to get through it, I just didn't feel compelled to go back to it. I wish I had read the hard copy instead.

Amazing.

Revisado: 07-31-20

The audio and narrative style of this book entranced me, I could not unplug from it for hours on end. It made me cry, and laugh, and gasp out loud in surprise and shock. I hesitate to attempt any type of summary, as I do not wish to spoil it for others.

As always, Malcolm delivers.
