She has grit

Revisado: 08-27-24

I highly recommend the book. I was a Republican for much of my adult life, and I heard the terrible things that were said about Pelosi. Boy were they wrong. She is highly thoughtful, intelligent, and a class act. The book gets in the weeds in a good way for anyone interested in the way the sausage is made. What a lady! What a book!

Great history of American politics

Revisado: 05-20-24

Enjoyed how the book did not get bogged down with any single event. It kept my interest by telling stories from the viewpoint of regular folks. George is a perfect narrator. I like the direct quotes by others too.

I expected a travel story but this was much more

Revisado: 03-23-24

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Even though I knew where it was going, the story was interesting and entertaining the entire time. I too lost my parents at a young age and was raised as a free-range child. I too am a reformed workaholic and am now traveling the world, though not in three weeks but in three years. Someone recommended this book to me because it reminded her of all my travel stories. I’m glad I took her advice to buy and listen to the audio book.

Realistic fiction

Revisado: 10-11-23

This is a superbly written fiction story that kept me interested. I enjoyed hearing Hispanic names for the characters and the setting in New Mexico. The story has enough twists to keep the reader guessing about where it will end.

Really keep you interested

Revisado: 08-31-23

Parts of this book are hard to read, so be aware of that before you start. However, it is intelligently written with an interesting view of false memory. I recommend the book.

Extremely good review of death row

Revisado: 08-19-23

I found this book to be an educational and easy listen. I appreciated Michelle’s and Larry’s honesty about the emotional impacts of the death penalty in them. However, I find Michelle’s continued support of the death penalty bizarre, in light of her admission about how unfair it is to some people.

Kept me interested

Revisado: 06-27-23

I listened to this book during a long drive, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It kept me unsure about what would happen next. The characters were flawed and interesting. Highly recommend.
