Have some fun

Revisado: 03-31-25

I really enjoyed listening to this book. All the main characters were likable, the story telling was well worded and best of all? It didn't cause any stress.

FUNNY, Enlightening and thoughtful

Revisado: 09-18-22

I have been watching Caitlin Doughty's YouTube channel for a long time. I generally don't enjoy audio books when they are narrated by the author. She does an amazing job. You need to be both sensitive to your own mortality and able to laugh at it... At the same time. I really recommend this one.

Ugh, the narrator.

Revisado: 09-23-21

I'll make this fast.
1.The narrator sounds like she's reading to a group of 6 year old children. It's incredibly irritating. She switches words like companionable and compatible.
2. The main character constantly compares her boyfriend to her dad. It's a bit creepy.
3. The boyfriend is unsupportive and condescending. He infantilizes her. Everyone knows when a woman is mad you should just hug her and say 'there there'...... or not so much.
4. I'm not buying another.

A general observation:
Why oh why can't these books ever have a love interest that, ya know, believes in magic? Oh sure 4 books in they do but then there's always a break up because they can't handle it. THEN they get back together.

It's nakedly honest and at times painfully real.

Revisado: 09-27-20

I bought it because it was on sale. I was so impressed. If you had a difficult childhood or parental relationship I can't recommend it enough. With honesty, a refreshing lack of sappiness or unnecessary drama he lays out his story. Sometimes healing is best done by walking away and defining yourself not by those dark and dominant forces that shaped you but instead by what and who you have chose, even if it's someone you have never met. It's not a denial of those forces or an unrealistic completely healed type of story. It's nakedly honest and at times painfully real. Most importantly it's relatable.

I have to admit that I love these books.

Revisado: 11-19-19

I have to admit that I love these books. They are fun and not too serious. My life is stressful and these books are great to relax my brain. I listen to them while I do household stuff, drive or play on the computer. They hold my interest without giving me a headache trying to follow anything overly complicated. Good mysteries too.

Best LGBTQ history you can get

Revisado: 11-19-19

Historically accurate! I first read this book when I was 16 and it blew my mind. It was my first encounter with gay history and I couldn't read it fast enough. As a young lesbian I was desperate for our history and I wasn't finding anything that predated the AIDs epidemic. Harvey Milk is my hero and so is Randy Shilts. I can't imagine how far we would have come if he hadn't been murdered. I am listening to it now, 24 years later, and am still in awe of the bravery of those gay men, drag queens and transgender folks. You might consider And the Band Played On by Randy Shilts for your next book or the HBO movie based on it.

I can no longer stand the main character, I'm done

Revisado: 11-19-19

I have a rule about when to stop reading a series: When I can no longer stand the main characters I'm done. I just hate Anita Blake now. Self centered, hypocritical and a just plain crappy person. I used to like the character. She was bold, smart and sexy. She just isn't likable anymore. Laurell K. Hamilton is now killing off the likability of other characters! Even sweet Nathaniel has become a petulant jerk. Anita Blake needs her job, life and depth back. Perhaps under 5 lovers just to make life easier for us to keep track. I miss the Anita Blake from Obsidian butterfly.

Her narration is really bad. Read them instead.

Revisado: 08-12-19

I have read and loved Rita Mae Browns books for years. While hit or miss sometimes, it's always been worth it to hang in there. Her narration however is SO bad I won't buy anything further here. She stops frequently to swallow or what not. She has no different inflections for the different characters. With a cast of characters this large it makes your attendance drift away and you lose track of who or what is talking.
