Addiction Sitcom

Revisado: 04-16-25

If you think a cringy, corny sitcom about drug addiction and privilege would be funny, this book is for you. The narrator/author is probably the silliest, most obnoxious of all times and is extremely grating. The story has no redeeming qualities,

More Timely Than Ever

Revisado: 11-09-24

The day after the 2024 election, I began listening to this book. I finished it quickly and in tears. I didn’t think, after all these years, that I would turn back to Anne as I had at age 11, for strength and courage. We will all need it these next 4 years. Thank you, Alice Hoffman.

Interesting with irritating narration

Revisado: 10-24-24

This story is rather interesting and relatable in some ways . When speaking normally, the narration is good. Unfortunately, this narrator’s big mistakes occurred when she tried other voices. When will they ever learn not to talk baby talk? Her voices for the children were downright cringy and obnoxious. Her accents for others were equally bad. The narrator definitely had a negative impact on the story. The couple was so pretentious that they were unlikable for the most part. Why tell your partner about a brief affair after the fact? This was baffling. I am only half way through, but am reduced to listening while driving in traffic to work and on errands.

Interesting but a bit heavy handed

Revisado: 09-09-24

This was a good story with an interesting setting. The writer was ham fisted with the lipstick imagery and character development. The main character seemed to have a lot of time on her hands to involve herself in last minute trips and community affairs for someone who was supposed to be a vital part of the medical team.

Too long and drawn out

Revisado: 07-20-24

While this was a fascinating story, the author drug it out so long that it became tedious. Could easily have been shorter.

Wonderful

This is a holocaust story that I will never forget. The logistics and stress during the war and pain of survival afterward where expressed so beautifully.

Unlikable characters, boring story

Revisado: 03-30-24

The narration was sooo bad…she speaks with such a sardonic, unemotional cadence that it was impossible to like or feel anything for the characters. The story itself was implausible, meandering, and a bit boring although the split story idea could have been interesting. Will not be seeking this author out anytime soon and NEVER the narrator.

Interesting historical perspective on Hitler’s war on expressionist/abstract art

Revisado: 02-12-24

The focus on Hitler’s war on the art world was a unique and interesting plot. But the story itself was ludicrous and implausible, with weak character development. It was tediously drawn out with ridiculous details and I would not be inclined to read other works by this author. While the narrator was okay, he made frequent mispronunciations that should not have been missed by editors.

WAY too long

Revisado: 04-21-23

This book desperately needed editing as it seemed endless and packed with too much uninteresting detail. I usually get immersed in this genre of books, so this was atypical for me. Three stories were intertwined in sort of a convoluted, convoluted way. I wouldn’t recommend it.
