500 F words isn’t how you move beyond YA 🙄

Revisado: 09-16-22

I really loved her other books, they were so well written and enjoyable. This one feels like a jumbled mess with 1/4 of the words being swearwords. I’m actually fine with occasional swearwords when they fit but this book is ridiculous. It makes the Martian look like a Disney movie. There are so many in this book it feels like she tried to double its length with F bombs. It gets pretty grating, especially as an audiobook. I could never listen to this with anyone else in ear shot let alone children in the room.

Nothing happens! Tom clear your throat!

Revisado: 04-03-20

Although I can admit that this author has a beautiful ability with the English language, I have to say this is one of the most boring books I’ve ever listened to. Which was made much worse by the fact that Tom Hanks needed to clear his throat through most of the narration. His voice had that phlegm rattle that you hear when someone desperately needs to cough. It was a boring terrible experience listening to this book.

Beyond disturbing

Revisado: 08-22-19

This is like the snuff porn version of 50 shades of gray. Stay away! Seriously so disturbing, graphically horrific and disturbingly detailed torture/mutilation/rape scenes. Wish I hadn’t read any of it.

Meandering, boring and unenjoyable to follow

Revisado: 07-27-19

I make it about 2/3rds of the way through this book and finally gave up after realizing that I hadn’t enjoyed a single page. I really wanted to like it based on the reviews but it just want happening.

A delightful and moving tale of depth

Revisado: 07-16-18

The best book I’ve read in years! The rich story of Melissa’s family and travels are not only entertaining but eye opening. Her willingness to share the tender details of losing her son made weep and come to a greater understanding of loss and grief. I don’t think any other book has make me smile more or feel more. I would recommend this book to anymore.

Most depressing book of all time

Revisado: 04-13-16

Have you ever wondered about the intricacies of others misery? Have you wanted every detail of a families life that has zero ability to communicate anything whatsoever? You too can experience the painful bitterness that results from people's total inability to express anything at all. But don't worry because even though they can't express anything verbally you'll get to fully experience their inner most thoughts of failure, depression, regret, shame, worthlessness and cliché teenage angst in every character. The only good thing about this book is that it helps me know to never ever read a book recommended by someone who liked it. Some people only find value in literature that depresses them. As if anything happy, interesting, creative or good is somehow of a lesser literary value. Those people will love this book, it's their spirit animal. I'm literally angry that I waisted my time on this miserable slop.
