Good message overall.

Revisado: 04-11-25

I didn’t want to like this book. I kept listening and kept getting something out of the advice and I found myself thinking about this again and again in my daily life. I find it useful. And being a 46 year-old woman who’s had a lot of life lessons this would’ve come in handy. Practical, useful advice.

Mediocre but fun.

Revisado: 12-03-24

Nice, easy read. I frequently would forget which character I was reading and found the story to be a bit juvenile but overall I finish the book and enjoyed it.

Best Nutrition Book You’ll Ever Read!

Revisado: 10-24-24

Best candid, honest nutrition advice I’ve ever read for the middle class American. Taken from a different angle of energy and cellular function rather than “this is what you should eat everyday”, this was more motivating to initiate change for myself and my children.
She says it in the book to question everything, even her.
For example, as a dental hygienist she says to use toothpaste with no fluoride. I see this frequently in the dental office and see the risk vs benefit analysis with rampant decay without meticulous oral hygiene and it is a generally a disaster, so I would disagree with this statement, as tooth loss is also associated with longevity of life. She also talks about moderation of alcohol, but talks about abstaining from everything else, which makes no sense. There may be a realistic view in here about awareness and enjoyment of life.
The end becomes very repetitive but it does make sure you remember. Most ideas I’m open to, some are so far from our industrial world I would have to find middle ground but she gives a scale to work with. Let’s see if my family and I can feel our best in this life.

Oddly entertaining

Revisado: 10-15-24

Took 4 hours to understand what was going on, and was decent after that. Nothing phenomenal, but did finish the book so that says something.

Outstanding!

Revisado: 06-23-24

Thinking I needed to have studied Shakespeare when starting this book, I was delighted and sucked into the story, knowing a little more and appreciating the writing and theatrical element of this book. What a wonderful story and great mystery.

Perspective of life is everything

Revisado: 04-25-24

What a great story of a journey through parallel lives of regrets and what a life can be. Very well written and hard to put down.

A whirlwind of a story!

Revisado: 03-06-24

I was reading this book for a book club, so this wasn’t my typical read. I was a bit lost with the stories going back-and-forth, but once I got sucked in, it was excellent! I would imagine if I had a little more knowledge about literature this may have been easier for me in the beginning.

Catholicism or faith?

Revisado: 02-15-24

Well, I enjoyed this book very much it encompasses a man’s journey with faith and his mom‘s devotion to the Catholic Church. I guess all wrapped up in it was a happy ending with conversion because one of his biggest wishes came true. Oh religion.

Better understanding of Trauma in Recovery

Revisado: 10-31-23

After 20 years in recovery, I had had some conflict with the 12 steps in my own recovery. This book helped give me some clarity on where I was bumping heads. It also will give me some grace walking in the future, and be more gentle with myself and others.

Inspiring

Revisado: 10-30-23

This is a “can’t put it down type of read”. Well written and had many AHA moments for me although the stories are different. Worth the listen.
