Haley Haynes

His Life

Revisado: 11-03-24

He laid his soul bare. He has had a wonderful life, and chose to share the triumphs and defeats. His loneliness struck me throughout the book. I never knew he had a paralyzed vocal cord later in his life, truly sad, but he never wants you to feel sorry for him. It struck me too, how such a young man who loved his friends dearly, was able to choose not to do the drugs that were killing them. I believe that his life, has been a life well lived. I enjoyed his book very much.

Horrors of Auschwitz

Revisado: 05-16-24

I like this book. It was painful and hard to listen to the atrocities that happened at the hands of the Germans. The horrors were laid bare, and should have been. My heart cries with all the Jewish people in the world.

Professor Shaul Harel’s Resilience

Revisado: 02-18-24

The most honest and humble memoir, chocked full of historical truths. He is a survivor, and hero not only in Israel but the world; particularly in the field of pediatric neurology but most notably as a child Holocaust survivor and devoted husband/family man!

More to the story….?

Revisado: 05-16-23

I believe Prince Harry actually has more to say, maybe another book…? In telling his story, one can reason that very possibly he has found his calling in life, that of storyteller and author. I listened with intense scrutiny, and found myself completely engrossed not only in his story, but the telling of that story. Also, intriguing to this reader/listener was the ease of him talking about his drug use, no shame, just a fact. I wish for him and his family peace, and a reprieve from the media.

Most annoying read

Revisado: 01-22-23

Narrator of this inept, sophomoric read was like listening to someone repeatedly tearing their fingernails down a chalkboard. The storyline was uninteresting from start to finish. I wish I had my time back from this book.

American Rebel

Revisado: 09-07-22

Devoured this book, and loved every minute of it!!! Alice was truly before her time, and lived abundantly. I was struck by her loneliness throughout her life, and truly empathized for her. She was brilliant, and so very well read. Politicians requested her advice for decisions that had to be made regarding America. I wish she could have been President! She would have run our country with ease. I highly recommend this book!

Riveting Listen

Revisado: 04-23-22

I am very happy that I read past the less than positive reviews of this book. I found it to be well written, and the narrative was read superbly. It was wrought with much sad, but true history and much personal suffering , in a world polarized by the hatred of the Jewish lineage, and another very small part of the world that offered help to them, at the very risk of their lives. There was also joy in the midst of this sadness, that made me agree with Walter, “we are all very much the same regardless of our race, there is good and evil, and then there are the people who rise above goodness to show supreme goodness at all costs.” Hettie was indeed a heroine, and expressed her views at a time in history, that was unheard of for women. I wish we could all truly be as selfless and good as Hettie and Walter.

Idly long and miserable

Revisado: 03-12-22

This is the most agonizing book that I have ever listened to. I wanted to stop listening to this overly long book, multiple times in hopes of it getting better in some regard. I made myself listen to the end, and that is something I will never do again. The book however did open my eyes to the injustices and maltreatment of their people. I am so thankful to be an American. Also, I did appreciate the author’s input to the book, at the bitter end.

In Common Chronic Migraine Sufferer

Revisado: 01-01-22

My life completely validated by Maria Konnikova, from her personal suffering to her extensive research, to my in common myriad lifelong symptoms and suffering. The invisible debilitating pain, that no one sees or understands, unless they too suffer from migraines.
Thank you so much!

Excellent, hypnotic read

Revisado: 05-15-20

This book is absolutely incredible, stunning with every turn of the page. To say it is riveting, is an underestimation. The narrator’s voices held me captive, and the author took much time to write this thrilling masterpiece. I am sure that is what contributed to the excellence of this book! I highly recommend this book to the discerning reader.
