I really liked this story

Revisado: 02-17-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I suprised myself at how much i liked this book. I usually don't like post apocalyptic stories, and didn't realize this story was one when I picked it. I was intrigued by the magic system and that's why I picked this story to try. Author is good, I liked that author didn't bombard us with facts at the beginning instead let the story develop naturally and give us information when it fit the story best. While this type of story isn't something I go for the authors skill made the book worth listening to. I got this story in exchange for a review.

All the emotions

Revisado: 01-25-20

I have read (and enjoyed) other books by this author so decided to give this one a try. An entire roller coaster of emotions in a story about being different in a world that values sameness (sound familiar?) I really enjoyed this book. Kristen Sieh is a great choice as narrator. Hope to hear more from the OP.

Weird, in a good way

Revisado: 12-10-19

Made me laugh quite a bit! Lots of running jokes and non-sequiturs. It reminded me of Wet Hot American Summer. Sometimes the tongue-in-cheek was annoying. Overall a good listen.

Loved all the references

Revisado: 12-19-18

Enjoyed the unique story of Santa and elves. Narrator was perfect choice for this book. Lots of cultural references and some not so subtle references to classic Christmas stories.

Drew me in

Revisado: 11-20-15

What did you love best about The Black Stiletto?

I have never listened to an audio book with more than one narrator, this was very enjoyable. I really liked the narrator who gave life to the main character, the Black Stiletto.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I'm not sure I would say edge of seat, but most surely kept my interest and attention.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

I liked the narrator who voiced the Black Stiletto, occasionally a southern accent seemed to creep into her voice, loved the natural way she worked.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I don't want to read/listen to any book all in one sitting, to me there is no enjoyment to a book you rush through.

Any additional comments?

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

A great title for exploring screenwriting

Revisado: 11-10-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would recommend this audiobook. First, the author has "it",that specific quality that all great teachers have, the ability to connect to students and encourage them with their own personal passion for the subject matter. Book is easy to follow and would be perfect for anyone looking to explore an interest in screenwriting.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The author is wonderful, engaging and informative.

Have you listened to any of Eric Michael Summerer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I'm not sure I have heard of Eric Michael Summerer's other performances before. This performance was excellent though, he is very good at his job.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes and no. It would have been easy to listen to the narration all in one sitting but the author gives homework which necessitates stopping for periods of time to complete it.

Any additional comments?

This would be a good book for anyone looking to expand their skills in screenwriting, to see if it is something they would like to explore further. Author is passionate about his subject and it shows in his engaging and creative teaching. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review

So refreshingly different from other self help

Revisado: 10-30-15

Where does Why You're Stuck: Your Guide to Finding Freedom from Any of Life's Challenges rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It ranks up towards the very top. The author has such a refreshingly different viewpoint on how to get un-stuck.

What did you like best about this story?

From the first chapter I was hooked. Author looks at all aspects of issue and shows how even what we fear and the problems we encounter are blessings and sign posts on our journey to be the best us.

Which character – as performed by Greg Zarcone – was your favorite?

Greg does a great job of narration. One of the few I would seek out to listen to again.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

For me the biggest idea from this book is that re-thinking what is bad and what is good will change your entire perspective. Changing how you look at a situation or issue can make all the difference

Any additional comments?

Highly recommend to anyone looking for some help getting un-stuck in life. The ideas are sound, yet different from probably 99% of the other self help books out there. Nothing demeaning, all positive. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review

Interesting words to impress your friends

Revisado: 08-21-15

What did you love best about The Word I'm Thinking Of?

I liked that the subject is delivered with a touch of humor.. I liked learning the words.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Word I'm Thinking Of?

When I knew some of the words in the book. Very impressed with myself.

What about Jack Chekijian’s performance did you like?

Easy to understand, spoke with natural cadence and rhythm (hate narrators who speak monotone.)

What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Word I'm Thinking Of?

Not sure about insights, but liked learning new words and expanding my vocabulary.

Any additional comments?

The words in this book are more rare and older than other books of the same subject matter. It's almost like a trip to the past. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review

I really enjoyed learning the new words. I was pleasantly suprised to know several words covered.

No real scenes in this book

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reaction, just enjoyment.

Great title for someone struggling

Revisado: 04-07-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this audiobook. I like that it's based on research and study of individuals going through life-changing difficulties. It talks about real people going through real issues and how they dealt with it and how you can use what they discovered to help yourself through challenges

What was one of the most memorable moments of Choosing Wisdom?

For me it wasn't a specific memorable moment but when they discussed doctors who had lost a patient due to an error they made it really struck me. The depth of pain they had to deal with and overcome really hit me.

What about Suzie Althens’s performance did you like?

I really liked Suzie's voice, but just don't think this was the best fit for her. Her voice is soothing and calm which more than once caused me to "zone out" while she was speaking. I would have done better with someone different.

What did you learn from Choosing Wisdom that you would use in your daily life?

I learned I'm not alone. The biggest issue with major problems is they can make you feel totally alone and there isn't anyone who cares or can help you. The fact that they took people with a variety of issues really opened up my eyes to the fact that I'm not the only one who is trying to find some kind of normal in their lives.

Any additional comments?

I received a copy of this audiobook for free in exchange for an honest review.
