Historia
Shari Franke’s childhood was a constant battle for survival. Her mother, Ruby Franke, enforced a severe moral code while maintaining a façade of a picture-perfect family for their wildly popular YouTube channel 8 Passengers, which documented the day-to-day life of raising six children for a staggering 2.5 million subscribers. But a darker truth lurked beneath the surface—Ruby’s wholesome online persona masked a more tyrannical parenting style than anyone could have imagined.

Historia
Mike Rinder’s parents began taking him to their local Scientology center when he was five years old. After high school, he signed a billion-year contract and was admitted into Scientology’s elite inner circle, the Sea Organization. Brought to founder L. Ron Hubbard’s yacht and promised training in Hubbard’s most advanced techniques, Rinder was instead put to work swabbing the decks. Still, Rinder bought into the doctrine that his personal comfort was secondary to the higher purpose of Hubbard’s world-saving mission.

Great pacing and storytelling. The author moves throughout the story of his life seamlessly without getting stuck in minutiae but offers the larger perspective on his personal experiences.

Historia
No disease sparked as much dread in the 18th century as smallpox. The virus killed millions across the globe, carrying off one in every five victims and disfiguring survivors with tell-tale pitted scars. But one mysterious method offered hope: inoculation, the practice of piercing the skin to insert a drop of infected matter and induce a mild case of smallpox. Those inoculated safely were protected from the ‘Speckled Monster’ and stayed immune for life. Only one problem remained: convincing people to accept the treatment.

Well written. Not a cumbersome historical read and keeps the listener engaged. Interesting juxtaposition with the ongoing Covid epidemic without forcing it.

Historia
Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.

Revisado: 09-13-22
Loved it. Jeanette McCurdy narrates her own story perfectly, and the content itself is relatable in a way that's unfortunate but ever so prevalent. It's a sad but empowering tale that's beautifully written.
Highly recommend.

Historia
Reacher goes where he wants, when he wants. That morning he was heading west, walking under the merciless desert sun — until he comes upon a curious scene. A Jeep has crashed into the only tree for miles around. A woman is slumped over the wheel. Dead? No, nothing is what it seems. The woman is Michaela Fenton, an army veteran turned FBI agent trying to find her twin brother, who might be mixed up with some dangerous people. Most of them would rather die than betray their terrifying leader.

I Don't Know This Jack

Maybe this is a story about Jim Reacher...
Revisado: 09-09-22
...because this doesn't sound or read like a Jack Reacher novel.
Since book 1 I've listened to Dick Hill narrate and define the man that is Jack Reacher, and while I understand things change, this narrator doesn't bring him to life. At ALL.
Hill brings out Reacher's gruff and self aware personality out with such grace and style that his narration created the character I envisioned with his every telling. Hill's style, pacing and interpretation of each book was just as enthralling as the Reacher novel he narrated.
As for the story, it felt cobbled together. For all the belief expected of Jack's encounters, this story seemed rushed. His blind willingness to help felt disingenuous, and made him seem like a guard for hire instead of the decisively moral driven man he's read like before.
Please bring Dick Hill's Jack Reacher back, cause Jim ain't working out.

Differently executed
Revisado: 09-09-22
SPOILER ALERT:
I had no expectations starting this book, so I can't say I was disappointed. The tale of life after death (and things in between) was different and I appreciated that. I enjoyed the main characters, but I did wish that the love that the blossomed between Wallace and Hugo was more organic rather than forced. I didn't get a true sense of connection between them, and I really wanted to. Reading Wallace's change in personality was nice, but truly wished I got more of his connection to Hugo.
Not a bad read overall. It was enjoyable.

The prize-winning and best-selling author of Say Nothing presents a grand, devastating portrait of three generations of the Sackler family, famed for their philanthropy, whose fortune was built by Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin. Empire of Pain is a masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing, exhaustively documented and ferociously compelling.

Amazing. The way the author presented this dynastic history captivated me more than I had anticipated. The organized detail reflects the meticulous research done in order to complete this book. The information doesn't become stodgy at any point. The narration is on point with the pacing and maintained an even tone that held my interest.
Highly recommend it.

You said you'd listen to your favorite narrators read anything: Well, this ambrosial new audiobook brings together an acclaimed cast of narrators to read aloud the menus of some of our favorite local restaurants here at Audible headquarters in Newark, New Jersey, as only they know how. You haven't truly lived, or dined, until you've heard Cassandra Campbell capture the emotional nuances of Newark's best Indian-inflected burgers or let Nick Podehl extol the virtues of the pear arugula salad and then seductively steer you toward a plate of creamy mushroom linguini.
