I wish Emily Nagoski was my best friend.

Revisado: 12-30-22

This is a powerful book that I wish I could share with everyone, my friends, my partner, my family, random people on the street, of all genders! I am going to work to make this part of normal conversation in my community because it should be in all of our’s!

Beautiful story and performance

It’s a lovely narrative highlighting the complex depth of loss, perseverance, and change though personable characters and beautiful imagery.

Harsh story that shows reality through beautifully written story

Revisado: 12-05-21

Now more than ever, we need to recognize the different world we all come from. This first person story from the perspective of the boy (and later man) who fought to make reason of all the chaos of his life is a valuable lesson of the subjectiveness of how life should be and the damage of transgenerational trauma that goes ignored. It’s a harsh story that is wonderfully told, even in the ugliest parts. The author is an exemplary human in his own story and that of his family and community.

Great performance but story lacked

Revisado: 11-02-21

While the the performance made this book a great listen, the story itself lacked the magic touch that made the first Dune so enthralling. It just seemed to drudge on through thick political details, which I guess is the point in a way but it just lost it’s appeal after a while. The ending was interesting, although a bit convenient, although that could also be the point. Definitely not on the same level as the first of the series.

Happy, sad, exciting, informative and just an all around gem!

Revisado: 10-21-21

Love the speed of the story, the historical references, the determination of Cussy Mary, and how applicable some of the perspectives are even today. The voice acting is wonderful; it sent me right back home to the rural hollers I grew up in. This story has thrill, emotion, and purpose… simply beautiful.

Great perspective

Revisado: 07-01-21

Interesting compilation of humorous short stories that give insight into a thought train that is certainly different from my own. Wonderfully written and performed perfectly to get caught up in the author’s perspective.

A classic for reflecting on humanity

Revisado: 05-24-21

I listening to Crime and Punishment as a refresher after having read it in High School. I definitely didn’t remember all the details but remember being enthralled by the book. Now as a adult listening to it, I can’t help but ask myself why it stuck with me to such an extent from such a young age. Now I reflect on the existential turmoil, psychological instability, and subliminal political personifications now, all of which I’m not convinced I fully understood back then, but I’m so glad that something in the story kept that book in the back of my mind. It isn’t always an easy book to read (or I guess listen to 😅) and I personally had to take a break for a bit because it made me sad and angry for humanity but I’m so glad it re-entered my life. Also, the performance is INCREDIBLE. I’ve listened to some amazing ebooks and this may be the best!

So many themes wrapped in 1 lovely performance

Revisado: 01-07-21

I thoroughly enjoyed this ebook- the details of the various stories, the serendipity, the reality of the emotions. It was a bit slow at times, but the pace makes sense. Thinking back on it now, I’m surprised by the journey and the way it ended. It certainly doesn’t follow a typical storyline but that’s nice sometimes. Also, Shayna Small does a wonderful job narrating. It’s easy to get lost in her voice!

True journey of literary entertainment

Revisado: 10-17-20

It’s funny how one forgets stories. I’d read The Handmaid’s Tale many years ago in high school but realized I couldn’t recall nearly any details of the story. I’m so glad I decided to refresh my memory with the audible addition. Claire Danes is beyond perfect in bringing Margaret Atwood’s words to life, expressing everything from feelings to rhythm. The story is still very interesting as a new world order fiction and sure to rile up many emotions, especially amongst female listeners. At least, it did for me.
