Poor writing

Revisado: 05-17-24

I was excited to read this after a trip to the Cayman Islands, but the writing is poor and amateurish. Show us, don’t tell us. Too much telling us about the main character instead of having the main character show us their personality.

Even updated its outdated

Revisado: 05-17-24

Too much outdated information to be interesting. The chapter about computers really shows the outdatedness. Also too much personification of genes makes the whole book seem unscientific.

Written for those who read the other editions

Revisado: 01-02-24

This felt like it wasn’t written for a new audience, but for those who have read the other editions. The authors assume you already have knowledge of the nudge/sludge concept and gloss over it to get to their advice on credit cards, mortgages, and retirement. If you’re new to their ideas, maybe try to find an older edition.

Just another rich guy making money

Revisado: 06-07-23

Ugh. This is my least favorite episode of this podcast. The guest has the nerve to complain about the quality of food produced in the world and has the funds to help solve the problem but does nothing. Please bring back relatable people.

Great book for women! Must read for men!

Revisado: 02-03-23

Women don’t have to be cave divers to appreciate the author’s experience of being a female in a male-dominated sport. If you’ve ever been the only woman at the table, this book will make you feel validated and seen. Not to mention it’s packed with the author’s adventures as a cave explorer! This is read by the author whose wonder and emotion comes through her retelling. Wonderful!!!

Newer work is better

Revisado: 10-28-21

This is a good book. I think those who work in the service industry or as teachers and caregivers might find meaning in this story. I prefer the author’s newer works. This one didn’t get interesting until about 2/3rds through, but that could be because of the popularity of shows like Downton Abbey. We know how service worked during that era, so it’s not until we learn specifics about this particular household that the book gets it’s twist on the theme. If you like the thoughtful takes on what it means to get older and see time pass, also checkout Klara and the Sun.

Haunting

Revisado: 08-20-21

It’s a long read and is full of descriptions of mundane things. It’s also written in the form of a hauntingly beautiful memoir. I listened to it over the course of two days; I couldn’t turn it off.

An enjoyable podcast, despite it’s grim theme.

Revisado: 06-14-21

This podcast has insights and stories about famous historical figures. Some of them are well known and some are less known, but all of them are interesting!

Interesting!

Revisado: 06-05-21

This is an interesting look into a world I didn’t even know existed. It’s worth listening to the first episode to see if you want to know more.

A great performance of the book

Revisado: 05-20-21

I think this might be one of the best audiobook performances I’ve listened to yet. Both the reading by Porter and the book by Weir were amazing! Highly recommend this audiobook!!
