Historia
On October 12, 1972, a plane carrying a team of young rugby players crashed into the remote, snow-peaked Andes. Out of the 45 original passengers and crew, only 16 made it off the mountain alive. For 10 excruciating weeks, they suffered deprivations beyond imagining, confronting nature head-on at its most furious and inhospitable. And to survive, these men and women not only had to keep their faith; they had to make an impossible decision: Should they eat the flesh of their dead friends?

Great story, poor narrator
Revisado: 01-29-24
I wish someone else would have read this book I realize the narrator probably wanted to do so, but he made which should've been a fantastic story extremely boring.

Historia
I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out...and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late. But I reassure myself: The Winchesters don’t know who I really am. They don’t know what I’m capable of....

Rip off of the Last Mrs Parrish
Revisado: 12-19-23
I struggled with this review because the writing was much better than The Last Mrs Parrish but still, it's the same plot. I will give this author another chance

For those who like "The Secret History"
Revisado: 05-22-23
I like a good murder mystery and this was a good one. Reminiscent of "Dead Poet's Society" & Donna Tartt's, "The Secret History". For those people, saying, the characters are insufferable because of all the Shakespeare dialogue, I think it's important to keep in mind they are supposed to be that way. They are pretentious, young and self-absorbed, theatre students so it's part of they storyline.

Good story narrator reads too slow
Revisado: 12-19-22
I really liked the story, but I had to listen at a higher speed because the narrator read at a painfully slow speed, which was annoying to get through. I've listened to her and other books and liked her, but it wasn't right for this story.

Nice story for adults and children
Revisado: 11-25-22
Audible offered this as a free download, and I thought it was a fun story to listen to. It was light and entertaining, and the stories were just long enough to get the details without erroneous information.

Historia
They looked like a slightly mischievous version of the all-American couple: a handsome army veteran and his gorgeous artist girlfriend. Zackery Bowen, after completing his tour of Iraq, came home to New Orleans, and in two weeks before Hurricane Katrina, he met Addie Hall. Their improvised, hard-partying endurance during and after the storm inspired news outlets around the world to feature the couple as the personification of the indomitable spirit of New Orleans. But beneath the surface, trouble was brewing.

Author goes off topic and down other rabbit holes
Revisado: 06-13-22
The author focuses more about PSD in soldiers and the failures of the city of New Orleans response to Hurricane Katrina then it does about the murder suicide of Zack and Addie. Well both of these topics are in important, I felt disappointed because that is not what I was interested in when I decided to listen to this book. If what you were interested in is this specific true crime story find a different author. I also didn't like how he victim blame Addie and her lifestyle and seem to glorify Zack.

Historia
More than 15 years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results. Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these two young women are joined by a third: Aunt Lydia. Her complex past and uncertain future unfold in surprising and pivotal ways.

Very satisfying if you want the background story
Revisado: 09-26-20
I was surprised that I like this story better than the Handmaid’s Tale. As far as the story you get to hear the background and it was a perfect read while waiting for the new season to begin. Regarding the performance, I liked that there were different women reading each of the characters. The fact that Ann Dowd (the actress that plays Aunt Lydia) read that character was a huge win. I would have given a perfect 5 for the performance but one of the characters read SO s l o w that I had to change the speed up to 2x when she read so I wouldn’t lose my mind.
