This book made me smile, laugh, and cry. Dogs are the most wonderful of beings and this book really appreciates the dog-human connection. A must-read if you love or have ever loved a dog.

Amazing story
Revisado: 02-14-23
Who knew that there was this much to learn about the world-famous photo of the flag raising on Iwo Jima? The story was fascinating and well-told. So much of the fighting on Iwo was difficult to listen to, but that is the reality of war.

Historia
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Revisado: 02-14-23
It was interesting to hear Harry’s take on his life.
However, he is not convincing at painting himself as the victim. He blatantly does things that he accuses others of doing (i.e. telling things that should be kept private). His portrayal of his wife as a 100% innocent is also not believable.

Historia
Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was "just" an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of a massively, internationally successful writer. It's also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman. With access to rarely seen personal letters and papers, Lucy Worsley's biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realize what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was—truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.

Revisado: 01-23-23
Great biography on such an interesting lady.
The real gem of this audio book is the narration, which is done by the author. She reads it like she is speaking directly to you and is telling you the story of a life that she has thoroughly researched and cares deeply about. Her British accident is wonderful to listen to as well,

Unfortunate change of narrator
Revisado: 10-20-22
This book has the same great characters, humor and mystery as the previous TMC books. Unfortunately, the magnificent narrator from the first two books was replaced by a whispery and less engaging one. Bring back the original narrator please!

Bob Goff is such a likable person. His voice is friendly and his words are very intelligent and wise. It was also nice how he gives us reassurance about the love of God and Jesus in our lives.
I highly recommended this book!

Historia
The New York Times best-selling biography of an American comedy legend. After three years of sobriety, Chris Farley's life was at its creative peak until a string of professional disappointments chased him back to drugs and alcohol. He fought hard against them, but it was a fight he would lose in December 1997. Farley's fans immediately drew parallels between his death and that of his idol, John Belushi. Without looking deeper, however, many failed to see that Farley was much more than just another Hollywood drug overdose. In this officially authorized oral history, Farley's friends and family remember his work and life.

Captivating story
Revisado: 07-01-22
I always loved Chris Farley, so hearing his story in the words of those who knew him well was captivating! Such an amazing, but ultimately sad life.
The female narrator on this book was terrible! She tried too hard to be an actress in all her different roles and came across as highly annoying. The male narrator was good though.

This is a good and intricate mystery. Add to that endearing characters and British humor. The narrator is absolutely perfect and really makes this audio book perfection. I highly recommend this book!!!

Historia
Since she was nine years old, Alina Dziak knew she would marry her best friend, Tomasz. Now 15 and engaged, Alina is unconcerned by reports of Nazi soldiers at the Polish border, believing her neighbors that they pose no real threat, and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from college in Warsaw so they can be married. But little by little, injustice by brutal injustice, the Nazi occupation takes hold, and Alina’s tiny rural village, its families, are divided by fear and hate. Then, as the fabric of their lives is slowly picked apart, Tomasz disappears.

I read a lot of books and I listen to a lot of audio books. I seldom run across fiction as well written as this book. It is a real gem! I also thought that the narration was very effective.

Historia
Twenty-five years after her passing, Audrey Hepburn remains the most beloved of all Hollywood stars, known as much for her role as UNICEF ambassador as for films like Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Several biographies have chronicled her stardom, but none has covered her intense experiences through five years of Nazi occupation in the Netherlands. According to her son, Luca Dotti, "The war made my mother who she was."

Unfortunate Overenthusiastic Narration
Revisado: 01-30-20
What an amazing story! I had always known that her early life was impacted by the war, but I had no idea how much! Audrey Hepburn was a beautiful person inside and out. What an incredible life she led!
Unfortunately, this story is mostly ruined by the narration. The narrator reads the story like she is trying to be the greatest stage actor of all time, employing a quivering voice during emotional scenes, and trying to mimic Audrey’s voice for dialogue. It just does not work for an audio book. It was excruciating to get through.
My advice is to read this great book instead of listen to the audio book.
