Powerful and Emotional Ride

Revisado: 02-22-16

What made the experience of listening to Dividers the most enjoyable?

I was really swept away into the world created by the novel. It is an intense story and being able to listen to it, especially with headphones, made the experience much deeper than just reading the book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dividers?

Without giving away a key plot scene, after several confrontations and constant disregard for human life, tensions build and something dark starts to take hold of one of the characters. What happens next really took a twist that I had not expected and suprised me in a very positive way. Also, one of the character's efforts to save his son is very powerful and emotional. It is a scene that I will long remember.

What about Frank Frederick’s performance did you like?

His performance is spot on. Not only does he narrate the book, but he acts it out most of the times, providing us with vivid images of the story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, it was, but although the novel was captivating and emotionally powerful, I listened to it over the course of 4 days, as I didn't have the time to do it in one sitting in a single day.

Any additional comments?

I was thrilled by the book and the narration. Whether you love or loathe the characters for what they are, the one thing that is sure is that you will feel deeply for them. It is indeed a rollercoaster emotional ride from start to finish.

Happiness is within our reach

Revisado: 02-21-16

If you could sum up Finding Our Happiness Flow in three words, what would they be?

Guide to happiness

What did you like best about this story?

It provides us with a clear understanding of what happiness is, even if it varies from one person to another, and a guide for finding our happiness, regardless of age or the society we live in. I especially liked how it helps us understand that we must let go of the past and the future, as well as the feelings and emotions that get in our way in order to live a happy life in the present.

What about Hugh Trethowan’s performance did you like?

His way of expressing the content of the book is very professional and it kept my attention focused at all times. There is a lot of information in the book, but the narration is always on point and never seems to overwhelm.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened to the book over three days, as each section had a lot of valuable information and I took the time each day to think about what I had learned and apply it to my daily life.

Any additional comments?

It is a deeply insightful book and I found it very useful. I could apply several of the lessons learned almost immediately, bringing about changes in my daily life that help me towards the goal of better and much richer experiences.

Perfect guide to overcoming food addiction

Revisado: 02-11-16

Would you listen to Food Addiction again? Why?

Definitely. It has a lot of useful information about both the causes and symptoms of food addiction, and very useful advice on how to overcome it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Food Addiction?

The details about detox cleanse and parasite cleanse. Particularly the parasite cleanse step by step instructions are extremely useful and very easy to apply.

Which scene was your favorite?

There aren't actually scenes, but the section that I liked was the advice about the types of exercises that we can do, cardio, treadmill, hiking, running, bicycling, exercises that anyone can do on a daily basis and are easy to apply instead of having to work out in the gym.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. I listened in one sitting and time flew by very fast due to the interesting way that it is presented.

Any additional comments?

I found the clear way in which it treats such an important subject as food addiction very useful. It made me much more aware about the causes and symptoms of food addiction as well as how to improve my eating habits in an easy way. I also wasn't aware of the National Eating Disorders Association and The Body Project which are very useful for anyone with food addiction.

Another fun and creepy story by Adam Strong

Revisado: 01-23-16

If you could sum up The Crawling Skin in three words, what would they be?

Original creepy story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Crawling Skin?

The narrated expression "sad sack routine" took me back to the comics that I read about the character as a child. A very subtle reference that I found interesting and one of the examples of the way the author presents details in a clear and interesting fashion. Also, the part where the skin has had enough and wants to detach from the body is very memorable.

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

The story is narrated with intensity and passion that captured my attention at all times. He applies just the right amount of emphasis wherever needed and his narration style draws you into the story.

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

There are several parts that are not for faint stomachs, but they all fit into the story perfectly and although at times gruesome, there are also many hilarious parts that balance out perfectly.

Any additional comments?

I had never imagined that a story could be done through narration of the skin in first person. The author presented this in a very entertaining and even informative way. The details and descriptions in the story are all very well executed.

A creepy, yet enticing story

Revisado: 09-01-15

What did you love best about Fly?

The narration was spot on and created very vivid imagery about the story.

What did you like best about this story?

It reminded me of classic storytelling and a few TV series of the genre, starting with Poe and on to Tales from the Crypt, renewing my interest in them.

Which character – as performed by Andy Mack – was your favorite?

Unlike other narrators, he not only voices the story itself, but also acted out each dialogue, even with different voices for each character, so it was great to listen to. I would have to say that my favorite character was the devil.

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

There is vivid imagery throughout the story and the characters are well crafted, acting within their personalities. You can clearly envision each one of them and understand them perfectly, and even imagine each one’s background story.

Any additional comments?

A well-rounded story with amazing narration that made it very interesting. Wishing that all narrators and writers would use this as example to bring a story to life.

Practical Insight to Relationships

Revisado: 07-02-15

Where does How To Attract The Right Man To You...Like a Magnet! rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the first non-fiction audiobook I've listened to, so I rank it number one so far.

What other book might you compare How To Attract The Right Man To You...Like a Magnet! to and why?

I would compare it to "The Secret On How To Attract The Man Of Your Dreams", but in that book the focus was more on how to become the woman of a man's dreams, which I think missed the spot completely. Whereas in "How to attract the right man..." the objective is to improve in understanding communication, respect, and other aspects that make for a better bond.

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

No, I hadn't, but listening to this one I think that he is an excellent narrator, with a clear and strong voice ideal for audiobooks.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, particularly the chapter that describes aspects of romance from the man's perspective. Sometimes women think that men are not romantic, but they may be expressing it in a way that is different from how a woman understands it. Keeping this in mind helps understand the way each communicates better.

Any additional comments?

Although the main focus of the book is on communication, giving a great overview of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and how to understand non-verbal communication, it also gives an in-depth explanation of traits that are necessary both to attract a person and to construct a solid relationship, such as respect, humor, intimacy, spontaneity, romance, and maturity. All this helped make the listening process much more entertaining and comprehensive.
