Grand slam home run listen

Revisado: 03-19-25

The documentary story is easy to understand and listen. Topic is different which provides intrigue. Easily worth a re- listen which I did. House in length - perfect for any listen.

Truth of large corporations protecting profits

Revisado: 12-07-23

The story had more benefit to the listener, being that it was told by the people really involved.
It is understandable why the son did not initially tell the truth - as we later learned the prosecutor does not care about the truth only finding people gulity. He won't even provide assistance when it was later revealed the discharge was not the boy's fault.

Let it be a lesson to all there are large faults with the justice system, for much is about personal gain versus fairness.

Equal to "Call Me by your Name"

Revisado: 09-19-22

The selection of words Philippe Besson uses allow you to feel as though the characters are speaking to you, providing you with feedback to their life's adventure with each other.
Surely hope Besson does a sequel.

Story of someone who would have gone unknown

Revisado: 03-03-18

What did you love best about The Stowaway?

It is the true story of an 18 year old who stowaway on Admiral Byrd's first voyage to the arctic. The background second story Is about Byrd. More a promotor than an explorer such as the crew of Endurance.

Incredible story line.

If you could sum up The Life We Bury in three words, what would they be?

Allen Eskens took into account every small detail, as it would happen in real life. That's what kept you inside the story as it unwrapped. From the small details of how a play can cause the main actor to come unwound with his current life.

Great background story, and gay

Revisado: 09-10-15

What did you love best about Ugly?

The background story, the boy's family is in the funeral business. Had me thinking of the HBO show - Six Feet Under while I read it. Unlike so many gay teen/romance books, this book had three main stories taking place at the same time. Which is why it isn't typical.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Julien of course

Which character – as performed by Joe DiNozzi – was your favorite?

Brandon

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Continue to seek. He is there

Any additional comments?

First book I have listen to by Roeder. He has a mixed review (good, bad, middle) on his other books. I would agree with one listener of this book - on the level comparing it to One Man One Guy. The stories are vastly different, yet their many of written narration is the same.

Would you listen to I Am Pilgrim again? Why?

I am subscribing to all new releases by Terry Hayes. Yes, at 22 hours it is longer than others, but you will be wishing the story continued for another 22. Terry does an incredible writing performance of having the story grow more legs into the twists and turns.

No

Any additional comments?

The format of the story of UBL assassination was well presented with the first chapter opening the story of the event with their helo riding to UBL; than jumping back to his childhood and taking us forward to the helo riding.

Won't be nice if we could go back in time

Would you consider the audio edition of 11-22-63 to be better than the print version?

I listen to audio books while training for marathon races. I need the story to take me away since miles 2 through 25 become long. But I don't want a technical self help book - too much to think about. Stephen King's books have become a main stay in taking me away while training - I don't even turn him off while cooling down. This book as with "Cell" kept me wanting to train longer - it was that good. You begin wishing you too could find the stairs to the past.
