Delightful read

Revisado: 12-28-23

Great characters. Duffy is a mere human cop who seems to get by both in his life and as a detective. Narrator was awesome, making each character distinct and giving me a real feel for who lives in Ireland. I jumped into the series here need to go back and read 1-4

Difficult to listen to

Revisado: 12-25-23

A lot of pain in this book with an uplifting ending. Listened in part because I have a relative going through gender dysmorphia now. As Page says it’s difficult to describe to those who haven’t experienced it. At least we now have options and support.

Thoughtful and well researched

Enjoyed reading the author’s perspective on race relations and slavery. Gave me another way to think about race relations. Only disappointed when I read author was on Rush Limbaugh show multiple times.

Painful listen

I completed this book because I bought it. Have enjoyed other titles by Vicky Ward. I think real estate moguls are not my thing. What a bizarre world they live in. I prefer to read about people who think about something besides themselves and money.

I did not expect you to like this book

Revisado: 12-21-23

I failed several times to generate enough excitement to get past the first chapter. I was very put off by the author’s voice and demeanor. Once I got past that I realized the author’s voice was the whole thing. I too have many differences with the author but I also have similarities. I had to get past my prejudices to hear what he has to say and I’m glad I did. If we care about this country and preserving our democracy we need to be tolerant of our differences and listen to each other. Thanks for the lesson.

What we take for granted

Revisado: 12-20-23

We pay for the NPS through our taxes and figure they are ours to visit when and how we wish. But what if you become ill or injured? Enjoyed this honest look into the motivations of a first responder and the effect of this work on his life. Thank you for what you do. And as citizens it is our responsibility to do what we can to use the parks safely. Be prepared; stay hydrated; become informed about the attractions and don’t take unnecessary risks; don’t approach wild animals; do what you can to prevent fires and appreciate the workers who enable you to enjoy the parks.

It pains me that democrats and republicans cannot talk

Revisado: 12-09-23

Kinzinger models how we can work together for the good of all. His views on evangelical Christianity helped me understand that I am not necessarily at odds with all evangelicals—just the vocal ones I have been familiar with. We have lost sight of the reason Congress exists. One wonders how we can maintain democracy when the primary concern of many politicians is being reelected. Reading this book may change how I decide who gets my vote in the future.

Surprising

Revisado: 11-30-23

I had listened to part I and almost did not listen to this one because I felt I knew enough about the situation. Boy was I wrong! This is a story about human weakness and forgiveness; about accepting each other including our faults; about the stigma of mental illness and how that limits our ability to deal with it.

Excellent review

Revisado: 11-25-23

I thought this was a excellent overview of the origins and function of the Federalist Society. I feel i now have a better understanding of who they are, which will help me interpret current events. The podcast was clear, logical and interesting.
