The storytelling!

Revisado: 09-23-24

This was by far one of my favorite books of the year. I read a review that described it as a modern day huck Finn. It’s that and so much more. Hilarious and heart breaking and I am obsessed with Demon.

Annoying narration

Revisado: 09-03-24

Good twist at the end. Character was believable. Narrator was annoying and ruined the story for me :-(

So good! Great psychological thriller

Revisado: 01-09-24

I didn’t follow the Gypsy rose situation. In fact I found this book when I was googling who she was. So I wasn’t comparing this fictional story to anything else but man it was so good. I finished it two nights ago and keep telling people about it and thinking about it - so I had to come back and leave 5 stars

Redundant and slow

Revisado: 05-06-23

Like the rest of the world, I have gotten caught up in the popularity of Colleen Hoovers books. A coworker told me she loved this series. About 2/3 way through the book, I had to ask my coworker if it was just more chapters describing a kiss - because I was over it. She encouraged me that it was just about to get good. Decent enough twist, but way to drawn out where nothing happens.

Learned so much!

Revisado: 11-30-22

Perfect narration. I learned so much that I’ll probably forget half of it. I was surprised to learn that I am capable of crying about a bird I’ve never seen that went extinct decades ago. I give the Anthropocene… 5 stars.

Listened for book club

Revisado: 11-14-22

This book was recommended by a book club I just joined. The narration is excellent!
The ending left me shook.
I was also really bummed out when I got to work and had to wait eight hours to find out what happened in the second and third rounds of the fight!

If you are thinking this might not be for you because you aren’t into martial arts/fighting/race relations/ etc - just give it a chance. The story is for everyone.

Know more about Dave

Revisado: 11-10-21

First off, I’m not the hugest Dave Grohl fan. I love biographies. I agree with another review who says the name dropping gets really old. And the lists of bands or songs…. Pearl Jam, Green Day, Nine in nails to name a few. There were certain phrases that had me twitching by the end of a 10 hour book. “To name a few” and “to say the least”
I also found that by the end, most performances were “the most important performance” in his life. Whether it was his daughters talent show, or playing for the Grammies.

That said, there were stories and parts that I really enjoyed I’ve already retold the story about the moped in Australia and the coffee addiction. Go ahead and watch the YouTube video he references. It’s totally worth it.

So redundant!!

Revisado: 08-13-21

I only made it an hour into this book. It is so redundant that it started making me crazy. I got that she is a very important doctor, she didn’t want anything serious with her boyfriend, and she has an important clinical trial coming up. All very important. (Eye roll)

On to the next book in my library!

Pass on this one

Revisado: 05-26-21

I am glad this was free! The story is silly and unbelievable. The detective's voice is annoying.

Recommend completely!

Revisado: 05-03-21

So glad I got this on audible so I could hear Matthew read it. Although I did get annoyed when he would yell “green light!” Or “prescription!” when I had turned the radio up so much to listen to what he was saying.

His advice is spot on and quite worthy. I usually don’t use bookmarks or highlight books - but there were a few quotes I wanted to memorize.
I recommend this book to all my friends.
