Inspiring, Riveting

Revisado: 02-10-18

This offers a comparison of two groups of marooned sailors. Sounds dull, huh? Anything but! Their efforts to survive will pull you in. Recommended reading for leaders, folks wanting a bit of inspiration, and anyone going through a hard time. I couldn't stop listening the last 4 hours, wanting to know who would survive. Love it!

Almost Perfect

Revisado: 02-04-18

The ending is a bit ta-da! Until that, however, I enjoyed this immensely. The narrator is so good I forgot he was just one person. I finished this in under 24 hours, and that should say it all.

Any additional comments?

Hey, these are fun! I love this series. Listening to one these books is like have some hot chocolate on a rainy day. I am entertained and comforted, and forget that big, bad world for a while.

Duller than Dishwater

Revisado: 02-03-18

Droningly, mindnumbingly dull. The first two chapters ARE loaded with interesting info, but it is downhill from there. This could have been great; clearly a story is there. Sadly, the author chooses instead to descend into summaries of Dicken's works and recitations of facts. If a student turned this in, I would refuse to accept it until they found their voice.
Someone, please, call Eric Larsen and ask him to write the tale of Dickens and A Christmas Carol. It is a great idea for a story, Dickens deserves better than this, and Larsen is our best nonfiction author.

If you could sum up The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared in three words, what would they be?

Funny, warm, silly

What other book might you compare The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared to and why?

A Connecticut Yankee in King Author's Court by Mark Twain

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed out loud.

Any additional comments?

I love this book. It's been two years since I've listened to it, and it still stands out. This book is warm, and funny, and parts are ridiculous. It is a joy, and left me very much wanting to go on an adventure myself. If you're ok with the premise of a 100 year old climbing out of a window to get a drink, you'll enjoy this book.

Cute

Revisado: 11-09-16

The voice performance is great, the plot is weak. There is little mystery. The focus is on the recurring characters, and the newlyweds drip saccharine. I don't regret the hours I spent listening, but I was worn out by the cuteness by the last two hours.

Spirit Filled

Revisado: 10-15-16

Each decade has a powerful thought. It is paced perfectly, without rushing or dragging. I'm grateful for this Rosary, and love listening to it regularly. The Rosary blesses us with a scripture based walk through the life of Jesus, and this version helps make that daily walk a joy.

Fun Romp!

Revisado: 05-07-16

What a fun romp! This is a marvelous, light adventure as Mrs. Pollifax sets out on her first trip as a CIA courier. She's 60+ and resourceful. Yes, it's a bit farfetched, but I listened in two days, staying up late and getting up early so I could listen before work. I'm still smiling from the wonderful way this listen made me feel. If you want a listen that gives you a great good time, this is it. And, it's more than a little inspirational for this old fuddy duddy.
