Great, great, great

Revisado: 10-02-21

Best story I've listened to in a long time! I could hardly put it down. A friend recommended it and I was intrigued by the concept but I wasn't expecting to be so moved by it.

Self-serving

Revisado: 09-22-21

I'm not a fan of the Trumps but this book seemed very self-serving...a one sided version from a "friend" who got burned. It was somewhat interesting but not completely believable. I have no doubt the mass chaos and backstabbing she talks about was very real but I think much of the book is an exaggerated, one sided perspective from someone with their own agenda.

The good, the bad & the ugly.

I liked his very casual style of recounting the highs and the lows of his job and the party. He didn't sugarcoat it. It struck me as an honest, reflective look back. Loved the "Boehnerisms"! There is quite a bit of "language" so if you're easily offended this book is probably not for you.

Interesting

Revisado: 08-04-21

It's always intriguing to get a look behind the scenes, behind the public persona. I found this book to be interesting and informative, although somewhat sugarcoated. I have to admit, until reading this book, I didn't know a lot about John and Cindy McCain other than what was reported during his run for president. I came away with a much greater respect. He seemed to be a smart man, that most everyone, on both sides of the aisle, respected and were willing to work with. I'm glad I purchased this book.

Helen Russell was so honest, funny and insightful.

Great book! I love the Danish concept of Hygge. There's a reason that Denmark continues to be one of the happiest countries in the world, although not perfect and her account of not only the positive but also the negative provides a good balance of both sides. I enjoyed her writing style and liked the chapter recaps, "Things I've learned this month.", both funny and insightful.

Nice refresher

Revisado: 10-01-18

I definitely learned some things, but mostly a nice refresher. There were a couple of things that I completely disagreed with but maybe they were just a difference in culture.

Wonderfully written

Revisado: 06-12-18

I was immediately drawn into this story, the life of Chiyo. I found myself staying up late to finish a chapter only to be pulled into the next.

Arthur Golden did a wonderful job writing from the perspective of a young girl and then a woman. Great character development. I had to keep reminding myself that the story and characters were fictional. I would love to know how much of the book reflects the life of a true geisha.

Take two...

Revisado: 08-01-14

Is there anything you would change about this book?

with different narration. I just couldn't get into the story because the main narrator's voice and pronunciation were annoying. I didn't listen past the second chapter.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Different voice, better pronunciation, inflection

Would you be willing to try another one of the narrators’s performances?

NO

Could you see The Undead in My Bed being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I wasn't able to get far enough into the story to know.

A peek behind the scenes

Revisado: 12-08-13

A first hand account of the inner workings of the Hotel industry. It's funny, informative, and a little scary if you spend any time in hotels.
