Kept my interest

Revisado: 03-23-25

Good story and kept my interest. Narration was very good. The only thing that became tedious was the whining sound of the varied woman when they were upset. Too much high pitched whining.. got annoying after awhile. I like this author though. She writes in a way that grabs my interest, though her choices of narrators needs rethinking. This book had good narrators, however while I wanted to buy her other Audible books, I was frustrated listening to the samples.. many weird narrators with affected voices… completely turned off in the first few minutes!

A bit obvious

Revisado: 02-28-25

Narrator of the father was affected and weird. Story was a bit too obvious-I figured it out too early on

Too bogged down in details that are relevant

Revisado: 10-12-24

This book reads like a periodical written for researchers. There is little to no practical or helpful application of Buddhist psychology… I was completely and utterly bored. If someone actually finds this interesting and useful then kudos to you… ! I’m glad for you! Really!

Steven Weber is a fantastic narrator. So natural and perfect in every way. I’m now going to buy the books he narrates!

I enjoyed this book, especially because of the narration. The story was a bit drawn out but overall the narration made the book!

The narrator is unbelievably great. His voice, his inflection, it is English spoken that is as beautiful as music.

This book was wonderful. I loved it so much because of the narrator. The content is so clever, hysterically funny in a marvelously sarcastic way, yet it is so clever. Julian Fellows is a genius writer. So very rare to hear his twists of phrase and how he so cleverly expresses an era and culture known to few. This book is a masterpiece.

Too obvious… should have been the ultimate twist to at the last minute bust the culprit..
Waaayyyy too long!

Nothing short of Excellent

Revisado: 01-25-23

I have so much empathy for this courageous young man. What a great insight into what his life in the monarchy has been like for him. He does not put down his family- though he probably could have given all he has been through. Told in a simple, elegant, yet brutally honest way, offering insight into himself and how he was able to make sense of the existence that was his destiny. What courage. How Brave … I absolutely loved this book. It was so well written (he must have had help from a professional writer ?). Truthful from his perspective leaves no doubt that this amazing young man did what was right for him and his family.
What respect I have for the honesty and integrity this young man has shown thus far in his life. Now, this truly is a Prince. First class. And the gem he has found in such an authentic wife.

Dealing with disappointment!

Revisado: 10-19-22

I have read all of Pema’s work. Ironically, I have adopted her teachings to deal with the disappointment which was very helpful because I have been admiring her for years now. Unfortunately she does the very thing that turns me off about religion-this book is full of teaching that is based on pure belief in that which is not known and cannot be known for sure… I.e., what “exactly “ happens during and following death. It requires “faith” in what is being said and frankly the concrete descriptions (I.e. 49 days for this, 3 days for that) of “what happens “ during death made no sense and sounded simply silly to me. I was disappointed in that Pema has always given common sense practical teachings based on personal experience, not requiring “faith” in esoteric beliefs that cannot really be known … however her teachings on dealing with disappointment have been great … otherwise this could have been a very upsetting change of heart regarding a woman I have for years thought so highly of… kudos to the narrator… she was excellent…
I still love Pema, because thanks to her teachings I am able to deal with this disappointing realization that she too is somewhat a victim of that which requires pure faith in believing what is being put forth in this book….

Narrator Elizabeth

Revisado: 02-15-22

Til have to disagree with a previous review critical of the narrator. She is the only reason I bought this book. She is amazing and my favorite narrator! She reads in a manner that is so soothing, articulate and varied in mood to reflect the character’s feelings. I absolutely find this Narrator nothing short of fantastic… haven’t finished the story yet but had to stand up for the wonderful narrator!!
