A new perspective on problem solving

Revisado: 06-28-24

I found this book fascinating. The idea that survival depends as much on the way you think as your skill set, luck or availability of resources was interesting.
I felt it crossed over into every day life. The principles of survival when applied to any problem solving seems to be a better way to resolve whatever task is at hand. I could immediately see the correlation to successful vs less successful individuals. Breaking things down to manageable goals, celebrating successes, and looking at challenges without confined thinking allows people to reach goals which on their face appear unattainable. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone even if you aren’t diving with sharks or climbing mountains.

I hoped for more

Revisado: 02-05-24

I’ve enjoyed this authors books previously and I expected a more compelling & interesting story. The characters were not fully explored and came off as two dimensional. I wished I’d skipped using my credit on this one. It definitely was unworthy.

I enjoyed it very much.

Revisado: 06-12-23

The characters were interesting, well rounded and developed to have both good and bad. The tails of their trials and good fortune moved along smoothly and kept my interest. If you like period pieces I’d definitely recommend it.

Mediocre at best

Revisado: 06-10-23

I didn’t find this a very compelling story. It could have been but the characters weren’t very well developed & the book dragged in many areas.

It was a good storyline

Revisado: 05-08-23

I enjoyed the main characters & the story itself. The animal treatment was pretty hard to take but I know in a period piece it’s not uncommon. The characters in the story were compelling however things did get somewhat predictable as it developed. Overall I enjoyed listening.

A chilling story filled with twist & turns

Revisado: 02-04-23

I haven’t read Koontz in ages but this was free with my audio subscription. It was excellent. I enjoyed the characters, the story development and found it technical enough so all disbelief didn’t need to be suspended. There was plenty of action and mystery. I’ve already purchased the next book in the series.

Interesting and insightful

Revisado: 02-01-23

I enjoyed this book and it’s look into the world of medicine. I found it honest and insightful in the cases discussed. I had very little scientific information on the brain or nervous system and this opened a small window to that field of medicine. It was entertaining and interesting.

A lovely tale filled with heart

Revisado: 01-11-23

I very much enjoyed this tale. The characters are rich. The giraffes are heartwarming and the mischievous twist and turns of the adventure is captivating. The switch from present to past is well done and adds to the story rather than distracting from it. It’s an all around adventure for anyone who enjoys a period piece and animals.

A nice follow up book

Revisado: 12-18-22

As the first book ended I wanted to know more. This book gave me exactly what I hoped. It was well written and allowed me the insight into who these characters were and how they played each role in the narrative. It was also an interesting take on healing and how to see each person from different points of view. Listen & enjoy

Excellent

Revisado: 12-17-22

The characters & story come to life in this book. It may be fiction but it’s easy to imagine it could have been true. It’s got twists and turns along the way. The rich characters & their lives keep you wanting more.
I enjoyed it immensely.
