Excellent

Revisado: 02-02-25

I enjoyed so much about this book, but in particular, I learned about Margaret Chase Smith and the Declaration of Consciousness. We need to bring this piece of history forward at this time.

This is a story I won't soon forget. It has multiple layers of meaning as well as being original. The narration is well delivered.

Accurate Details Are Important Part 2

Revisado: 01-13-24

Well, I had a suspicion that I should have waited on my first review because the only plausible reason for such detail errors ended up being part of the plot, without giving too much away. But still, it was head slappingly difficult at times. The narrator overall does a fine job, but learning places names pronunciation is important. I laughed at Tanana sounding like banana...it does not. :)

This story has interesting characters and an thoughtful use of religious possibilities without stating dogma as fact.

Interesting Story, Difficult Delivery

Revisado: 02-07-23

The story is interesting, with some twists that are not completely predictable. The values and social issues in the story are pertinent and compelling. The weak point, for me, is the narration. Peter Giles reads fluently and has expression. However, his interpretation of the emotional intent behind the narrative is abrasive. Everything Bosch says seems, in Giles' hands, seems to have a petulant and whiney, angry tone. The deeper psychological motivation of the complex range of why Harry Bosch is the way he is left out of the reading. I found it frustrating and annoying enough to the point where I almost stopped listening, but the story kept me going. If Giles were a child, I would teach him how to use his non-whiny voice.

One of Bachman's Best

Revisado: 12-11-22

I read some reviews that said the story had too much foreshadowing and was too long but I couldn't disagree more. The foreshadowing in this story is brilliant and really doesn't give everything away. It sets it up in such a way that you feel like you're living the life that's in the book. I have never read a story that made me feel like I was seeing the parts like you do when you are living your life and you don't know really exactly what it means. This trilogy is at the top of my all time favorite stories list..

Pros Then Cons

Revisado: 09-23-22

Pros: This story addresses some aspects of eating disorders in tweens. I did finish it, but that is most likely because I was doing chores and not willing to stop and search for another story.

Cons: Very slow story. The author repeated minor details ad nauseum. I didn't like one character in this story. They all drove me crazy. The ending is far fetched, for me. Well, I should say the second ending, or cliff hanger, or whatever it is the author intended.

Overall: Good narration. If you like focused detailed stories, and can suspend disbelief in the characters' behaviors, this might be for you.

Yays and Nays

Revisado: 08-03-22

I don't usually write long reviews but I felt compelled to give my feedback on this story. The yay: the story is interesting and and it kept me listening. The metaphor of Christian love is evident and works for that schema. The characters are compelling and the plot is interesting. Even though I didnknow of the Christian theme when I got this book, it isn't really the only way it can be interpreted. Healing and forgiveness can come in many forms.
The nay: Overall rather unbelievable situations occur multiple times.. Also it got a little too emotionally squishy, or sappy, for me and unrealistic in how love really works. It is more of the ideal we all wish for but I know of no one who has experience with this sort of behavior. I see as being incredibly perfect in one's imperfections. Therefore, I found it rather disheartening and not enlightening, as some reviewers have stated. If you like Nicholas Sparks, this is for you.
