Poor editing
Revisado: 02-11-24
Hard to describe the number of times that a sentence was repeated by the narrator. 15, maybe more I would give the narrator a pretty good score, but I would give the person that edited this one star.

Helps a Parent to Work through the "Worst Loss"
Revisado: 04-15-14
What did you love best about When Bad Things Happen to Good People?
The author talks about shaken faith and our perceptions of God in our lives and how that relationship can drastically change after the tragic loss of a child. Although the author doesn't specifically focus on suicide he does a great job in helping a parent understand their loss and how it relates to faith and a future without their child.
What did you like best about this story?
It helped me put into perspective that bad things happen on this earth and that we are not simply chosen by our bad deeds or otherwise to have to be the ones that deal with the loss of a child. God can be and is present in our lives and we often see his presence through the love and compassion we receive after a tragedy. God works his miracles through us.
Did Harold S. Kushner do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Not really character driven, but yes.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, I cried a lot but it is helping with the recovery of my loss.
Any additional comments?
It is a book to re-read over as you go through your recovery.

When fifteen-year-old Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself. Overnight his simple life is shattered, and, gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save—or destroy—the Empire.

What did you like best about Eragon? What did you like least?
I liked the character of Eragon with the dragon. Eragon seemed to be continually complaining and whining. A little too much for me.

Why we think it’s a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand’s done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared....
