Historia
Woodrow Wilson Nickel, age 105, feels his life ebbing away. But when he learns giraffes are going extinct, he finds himself recalling the unforgettable experience he cannot take to his grave. It’s 1938. The Great Depression lingers. Hitler is threatening Europe, and world-weary Americans long for wonder. They find it in two giraffes who miraculously survive a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic. What follows is a twelve-day road trip in a custom truck to become Southern California’s first giraffes. Behind the wheel is the young Dust Bowl rowdy Woodrow.

Adventure of a life time, captivating story
Revisado: 09-05-21
Depression era adventure story based on historical events. Actor was amazing, story outstanding. RECOMMEND IT.
Read it in March, listened to it in Sept. The story was just as good the second time. Concerned it would be different with someone reading it to me, however, the preformer's voice was absolutely perfect .
I recommend this book to others and chose it as our Sept 2021 book club.

Enjoyable Mystery
Revisado: 06-24-21
The story starts with the main character having a back story which made it read as if it was not the first book in a series. That did not detract, the back story was revealed in a satisfactory way.
The setting was very entertaining. The ending kept me guessing
I look forward to reading more in this series.

Sister's humorous view on siblings lives
Revisado: 12-14-19
Hooked from the beginning with Sophie's VM recording, I found this novella endearing. The reader's voice matched well with the story, the story portrayed ups and downs of family life each Thanksgiving for a few years. I enjoyed the story and performance.

Historia
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Childhood glimpse into another country
Revisado: 06-12-19
Great insight into a culture and country I know little about. Mr Noah's autobiographical story was well written, humorous, serious, showed childhood resourcefulness but most importantly emphasized the strong bond between him and his mother.
A bonus was him being the narrator. His voice has a refreshing melodic rhythm to it.
Loved the book and have already recommended it.

Historia
Reclusive literary legend M. M. "Mimi" Banning has been holed up in her Bel Air mansion for years. But after falling prey to a Bernie Madoff-style Ponzi scheme, she's flat broke. Now Mimi must write a new book for the first time in decades, and to ensure the timely delivery of her manuscript, her New York publisher sends an assistant to monitor her progress. The prickly Mimi reluctantly complies - with a few stipulations: no Ivy Leaguers or English majors. Must drive, cook, tidy. Computer whiz. Good with kids.

Enjoyed the partial biography and depth into meditation. Dan's story of discovering, or aspiring to, peace is helpful to me on my journey which has just begun.

Revisado: 06-24-16
As my first book from this author I was lost the first few chapters, did not realize characters introduced in another book. It was a fun read. I enjoyed learning cultural sayings, foods, and locations in Shanghai. Very enjoyable!!! Will read other books by him.
Accents by reader was great. I loved the way she lowered her voice to clue the reader into a saying or location that was in the book.
