Shocking true story

Revisado: 05-04-25

Michelle writes about several phases of the sexual, physical and mental abuse she encountered during her life. She shares honest details, which are hard to hear, so I had to take listening breaks a few times. Her bravery shines throughout the book, especially at the end. She is an amazing woman.

Vulnerable honesty

Revisado: 08-12-24

Mike doesn’t seem to leave out any of the horrific details of what happens behind the walls of Scientology, even when it exposes his involvement in them. I appreciated the sequential storyline, from his early days to current day.

A story everyone should know

Revisado: 05-23-24

The author recounts his painful truth of racial prejudice at its worst, and how he somehow is able to find joy in each day of 30 years falsely placed on death row. I cried and cheered for him throughout the book! I was shocked to learn about unjust Alabama laws in place and disgusted by the people who continue to enforce them.
The narrator perfectly read the authors story with all the emotions - well done!
I’d love to see a book written from the perspective of his best friend, Lester. I hope this is in the works!

Serial killer true story with little media coverage

Revisado: 04-18-24

The author’s recount of a serial killer’s life from childhood to young adult killer is eye opening and sheds light on the nature vs nurture discussion.
The narrator, although has a pleasant articulate voice, didn’t speak as if he was the writer or the person in the action because he lacked intonation. Without hearing any emotion in an audible book, the listener has to rely on the written words to grasp the details of these horrific crimes.
Given the current ‘popularity’ of true crime, I was surprised to learn that this American serial killer’s story is relatively unheard. It seems that those connected to the case, who are still alive, don’t want to talk to allow privacy for the killer’s family.
This is a quick, easy listen - I recommend.

Interesting and captivating

Revisado: 07-24-23

I enjoyed hearing Harry’s voice, telling his truth and sharing a peek behind the power that the press holds on influencing public opinions. I applaud him for the courage it must have taken to write this thought provoking book.

Relevant and Motivating

Revisado: 07-01-22

Shelly’s vulnerability is refreshing as she openly talks about low points in her life and how she leaned on community to lift herself up. She talks about examples of where her contributions to help others had a significant positive impact on her self worth. In my opinion, her views about setting intentions are spot on with Oprah’s teachings.
This book is for anyone who seeks an uplifting story and has an open mind about change for themselves and the world to help achieve peace, equality and joy.

Eye opening perspective of the impact of childhood trauma. Useful lessons on how to help others and yourself. The dialogue between O and Dr Bruce is natural and inviting.

Eye opening facts about lonely youths

Revisado: 02-06-21

Clearly laid out eye-opening facts about lonely youths who strive to fit in but fail, then turn to radical neo-nazism. Narrator kept me interested to come back for more after each chapter.

Calming voice and helpful messages for parents

Revisado: 02-17-20

Using simple language and examples, Fred's book reinforced that love and acceptance are what all children need and that parents may make mistakes along the way and that's okay. Being able to hear his messages in his voice was a more powerful experience for me than by reading the book on my own. Highly recommend!

Great motivator to sustain your practice

Revisado: 07-11-19

Sharon's voice is so pleasant and is why I prefer her books on audio vs reading them. She gives easy to understand descriptions of meditation practices and great tips to keep your practice consistent. Sharon is the best!
