One of the best discussions I have heard in years! Wide ranging, entertaining, and great real examples and references. Loved “Laughtivision” !

Sunshine in an Audible Book!

Revisado: 02-26-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Parrot Prose is a delightful and incredibly enjoyable listen on Audible. From the very first chapter, it’s clear that the characters and their storylines have been wonderfully developed from the original book, Trust the Terrier. As a listener, you can feel the growth and depth of the characters, making their journey all the more captivating.

Author DL Mitchell and narrator Allison Wang whisk you away for a mystery in stunning Coral Shores. The vivid descriptions of the location allow you to practically feel the warmth of the sun on your skin and the gentle ocean breeze as you imagine the beautiful coastline. (Bring your own sunscreen and margaritas!) The atmosphere is so well-crafted, that it’s easy to get lost in this picturesque setting.

The pacing of Parrot Prose is spot on, keeping you intrigued and entertained from start to finish. It’s a smooth ride, never feeling rushed, but always keeping you hooked. There’s a perfect balance of suspense, humor, and heartfelt moments, ensuring that you’re always invested in the unfolding events.

A standout aspect of the book is the underlying theme of nonprofit animal sanctuaries in Florida, particularly those dedicated to parrots and marine life. I found this element to be especially rewarding, as it sheds light on the tireless work done by these sanctuaries. Not only did I enjoy the mystery, but I also came away with a much greater appreciation for the important work these organizations do.

Overall, Parrot Prose is a delightful audiobook that combines great storytelling, engaging characters, and important causes. It’s the perfect vacation read (or listen!) that leaves you eagerly awaiting the next installment of Emily and Mike. I can't wait for the third book in the series!

Many absolutes can be challenged

Didn’t garner many helpful insights. For free, I would say to read fwiiw. To buy- not worthwhile, but that’s simply me. Maybe a young person in their 20’s or 30’s would find his writing more appealing and helpful.

Fiction?

Revisado: 07-26-24

Wonder how much of the story is factual vs fantasy, as the credibility of the author has diminished logarithmically.

Boring

I had a hard time finishing this one. Glad I got this download as part of my membership, so it was free.

Couldn’t finish

Revisado: 01-19-24

Being an avid gardener, I had high hopes for this book. Alas—- it was so tedious and boring, I couldn’t finish it. I may try to use it as a sleep aid. I enjoy history, but this didn’t resonate with me.

A frightening assessment, with insightful improvement proposals

Revisado: 08-05-23

The author’s analysis of the health care industry was spot on in my opinion / experience. I am encouraged by the evidence based approach and strategies for improvement. Particularly for dealing with mutant market practices driven and protected by special interests instead of patient care quality and cost of service.

Current and practical…

Revisado: 07-22-23

The authors add a useful toolkit to the tough communications bookshelf. Highly recommended I f you like Getting to Yes, Never Split the Difference, Thinking Fast and Slow, and/or Influence, or just improve at difficult conversations.

A classic!

Revisado: 07-15-23

I read this in the early 2000s when it was initially released. After re-reading it now, what strikes me is how relevant it remains, and how well tight the author summarizes his points. Also it seems to have more and better supporting science, such as Thinking Fast and Slow.

Could it be any stupider?

Revisado: 07-13-23

Well, that’s a few hours. I won’t get back in my life. Kept hoping it would get better and it just stunk. Inane plot. Do yourself a favor and watch Matlock on TV. It’s about 1000 times better.
