Terrible performance by narrator

Revisado: 07-23-14

Narrator's accents were horrible, made me want to cringe.
Shortcomings of the performance aside, I enjoyed the book after binge-watching the TV show and trying to determine which characters and story lines were real vs. created for the TV show. I'd hoped there'd be more commentary on the US justice system made in the book (opposed to the show) and perhaps some call to action by the author - but alas, this is Kerman's memoir based on her experiences whilst in prison not an explicit diatribe.

A bit shallow

Revisado: 05-30-14

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Listening to this book provoked some good thought and I agree with the author's premise that women should have a strong network, or "inner circle" of trusted professional mentors and friends. However, I kept hoping for greater depth.

Has Stiletto Network turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

Do you think Stiletto Network needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No - ryckman got the point across: women now, more than ever, need to advocate for each other and themselves; "sitletto networks" can be the springboard for professional advances

Any additional comments?

Would like to have heard "higher profile" case studies or evidence advancing the premise

I can't do this piece justice

Where does The Prince of Tides rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Probably the best one yet. The author says it best in his preface, to paraphrase, Conroy didn't set out to write a best seller, but the narrator, Frank Muller made it a work of art.

Warning: Sheryl Sandberg girl crush will result

Revisado: 05-30-14

If you could sum up Lean In in three words, what would they be?

You go girl

Have you listened to any of Elisa Donovan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The performance was adequate, however I much would have preferred to hear it read by the author. Lean In is a personal piece, I wish to have heard it in the authors voice

Any additional comments?

As a young woman in business I felt this book to be very relatable on a professional and personal level (I see in myself many qualities, desires and yes, flaws too, that are discussed). Ms Sandberg took a calculated risk joining Facebook and hearing her story,her reflections on leadership, success, women and business were thought provoking and inspiring

An incredible story

Revisado: 05-30-14

Any additional comments?

This book goes beyond the normal discussion of the case and the bystander effect to reveal anecdotes rarely otherwise mentioned and very much unknown, including the unbelievable backstory on the murderer.
