Curious

Don't forget the serial doctor

Revisado: 09-04-14

What made the experience of listening to The Good Nurse the most enjoyable?

It reminded me of James Stewart's Blind Eye

What did you like best about this story?

How hard it is to report and catch this kind of deviant and the risks some health care people take to stop their colleagues' actions.

What does Will Collyer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He is a good neutral reader

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Cheaper by the dozen

Any additional comments?

Many reviewers apparently aren't familiar with Dr Swango. He killed many patients but not quite as many. He came across as crazy but was able to migrate even to different countries. The Africans figured him out sooner than the Americans.

Santini should have stayed dead

Revisado: 11-07-13

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

In the Great Santini,, Bull dies. In the Death of Santini he rises from the dead and I wish he had not. Listening to this book was like watching sausage being made. I didn't want to hear about the many frailties of Pat Conroy. He came across as whiny. I couldn't understand how he could have his hated father on book signing tours.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Haven't seen this month's selection.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Yes but I don't know that anyone could have elevated it.

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

Not really

Any additional comments?

I think Pat Conroy has mined this "dysfunctional family" about as much as possible. Move on Pat.

Cook Don't Read

Revisado: 01-13-13

Would you try another book from Marcus Samuelsson and/or Marcus Samuelsson?

I enjoy watching the celebrity chefs on TV and thought that I would like to hear the story of this Ethiopian, Swedish chef's story. The story is interesting if you are interested in the stories of people like Anthony Bourdain. MS can't read his own work outloud. He is awful. English is his third language which makes his pronunciation somewhat difficult but still... There is a lot of ego in this book, I expected that. I just think it would have been better served by a better reader.

What did you like best about this story?

The hard path of a potential chef.

What didn’t you like about Marcus Samuelsson’s performance?

Stinko

Do you think Yes, Chef needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No. The best parts are said.

Any additional comments?

Keep cooking Mr. Samuelsson.

What did you like best about this story?

TR is always interesting

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

Can't say

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Liked it from start to finish, the description of the rain forest was so unexpected

Any additional comments?

I can' wait to hear her newest book

I don't understand

Revisado: 12-07-09

This book only had one rating and it was just 2 stars. This is an amazing book. It is sharp, funny, sad and so acute in its description of growing up poor. The author and his sibs were abused by a drunk father and an indifferent mother. He doesn't whine, he tells about his way of surviving.

very good listen

Revisado: 12-03-09

This was an amazing listen. I do not follow tennis closely but I wish that I had watched him play more after hearing this book. He is brutally frank about his feelings for Pete and Brook but beautifully frank about his love for his wife Steph. Graff. What a lonely life and what a happy finish.

Triple bodice ripper

Revisado: 09-17-09

Hated the reader, hated the story. I should say, the excuse for a story. It was a platform for three separate generations of "amazing, endless sex". A very little WWII and post 911 intrigue tossed in.

Great voice

Revisado: 04-29-08

The reader had a good voice but the author had a great voice. The language of New York was so rich. I really enjoyed listening to this book.

A lesson before living

Revisado: 05-06-07

This careless young man thinks that he can do what he wants in a foreign country. He smuggles dope into Korea. He is caught and then is sure that he will be let go because he has never had to face a consequence before-he is an American after all. Korea has other ideas and he spends time in jail. He could have left that country bitter but instead learns many valuable lessons. He grows up. He comes home a very different person.

Not quite as thrilling

Revisado: 12-07-06

This book isn't quite as thrilling as the Devil in White City because the bad guy wasn't bad, just hen-pecked and the good guy wasn't good. Larson always intertains with science. It is my least favorite of the three he has written but it still is fascinating reading about the beginning of wireless transmission. I can't wait to see what his next juxtaposition will be.
