Propulsive, Immersive, Beautifully Narrated

Revisado: 07-22-22

Narrator Joniece Abbott-Pratt is a *superb* fit to channel this amazing novel. This story presented me a unique gift: It brought me as close as is possible to touching, witnessing, following the life of Kiara and her family. I don't have a Kiara in my life, so how can I touch her life experience? Through this book -- thanks to the stunning ability of author Leila Mottley to pour Kiara's life experience onto the page, with such immediacy. My consciousness has been transformed by this read. I read it twice, back to back. It inspires me to activism. It is life-changing. Eventually I will read it at least one more time.

5-Star Text, 2-Star Narration

Revisado: 06-27-19

The book is excellent, a real page-turner. The narration by Jason Klav is bearable, but distracting. He makes one amateurish mistake a million times in this narration: he pronounces the article "a" as in "going a long way" as a long "a" instead of "going uh long way" as we say in oral conversation. He also dramatically mispronounces about 5% of words.

A Waste of $3

Revisado: 11-20-16

What disappointed you about Summary of Trump Revealed by Michael Kranish & Marc Fisher?

The description of this book said there would be a bit of analysis. There isn't. The poorest excuse for a listen that I've ever heard. Wasted $3 and 25 minutes.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Trump Revealed.

What about Dwight Equitz’s performance did you like?

It was unobtrusive.

Waste of My Time

Revisado: 09-29-15

What would have made Tiny House Living better?

Deleting it from the Audible.com offerings. That would have saved me all the wasted time of trying to listen to this thing and writing this review.

Would you ever listen to anything by Hannah Laviolette again?

No.

Would you be willing to try another one of Ginger Cucolo’s performances?

Maybe. There are way worse audiobook narrators who have more annoying ticks and techniques than hers. Based on this "book" alone, I would rate her as a 6 on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being impossible and 10 being the best audiobook narration I've ever heard.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

None, honestly.

Any additional comments?

Please delete this item from Audible.com offerings; has Audible.com no standards at all? Thank you.

Bad Joke of an Audio"Book"

Revisado: 09-29-15

What disappointed you about Tiny House Living?

The English is so bad that it's funny, and the content is nothing but a rehash of extremely obvious facts, such as "Check local building ordinances before you invest in materials," and "Make a budget before you start spending money."

Would you ever listen to anything by Zachary Buckler again?

I never again would touch anything by Zachary Buckler.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator tried his best to make nonsense sentences sound like actual sentences.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Out-loud laughter, again and again, at the malapropisms and obviousnesses and self-importance of this material. On the other hand, I would have been less amused if I couldn't get a refund!

Any additional comments?

It's pathetic that this piece of self-published junk is among Audible.com's offerings. Plus two more of his "books!" In all good conscience, please drop it.
