Orcas: My Heart & Soul

Revisado: 06-21-17

Would you consider the audio edition of The Killer Whale Who Changed the World to be better than the print version?

Listening to Mark Leiren-Young read his book undoubtedly adds so much more depth to this amazing story of Moby Doll and his impact on our understanding of and respect for Orcas.

What other book might you compare The Killer Whale Who Changed the World to and why?

Orca: The Whale Called Killer, by Erich Hoyt — the book that ignited my passion for Orcas

Which character – as performed by Mark Leiren-Young – was your favorite?

Moby Doll

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! However, I listened over several days of commuting time.

Any additional comments?

As someone who holds Orcas close to my heart and soul, I felt joy, fascination, sorrow, and anger throughout the book. Perhaps it is true that the capture of Moby broke through the perceptions of the "monster" man had previously seen the orca as, but it also started the frenzy of Orca captivity. Nonetheless, I hope the telling of Moby's story will influence more people to take notice of these incredible creatures and to help support their well being by standing against captivity, dams and fish farms that reduce their food supplies and toxins polluting their waters (including trash, noise and shipping traffic).

Big Fan of Liz Gilbert

Revisado: 10-09-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

We all have creativity brewing within, in one form or another. This is a very inspiring work that left me with the desire to embrace my creative leanings more than ever. I recommend this book to anyone seeking inspiration.

Have you listened to any of Elizabeth Gilbert’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I listened to her narration of Eat Pray Love. She got a great style: relaxed, sincere, honest.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

It doesn't always come easy and it's not always easy to see, but creativity is magic. Big Magic.

Something for Everyone to Think About

Revisado: 08-19-14

What did you love best about Nonviolence Includes Animals?

The message was clear without being preachy

What did you like best about this story?

How is this different than the first question?

Have you listened to any of Ingrid E. Newkirk and Dennis Kucinich ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Well, yes, it was quite short.

Any additional comments?

The message was clear without being preachy, but sadly few will probably listen to this. People, in general, don't seem to want to know, see, hear about the plight of animals and how we are directly involved in their suffering.
