Leo Tolstoy's classic story of doomed love is one of the most admired novels in world literature. Generations of readers have been enthralled by his magnificent heroine, the unhappily married Anna Karenina, and her tragic affair with dashing Count Vronsky.

Such a profound joy to listen to
Revisado: 08-01-23
Tolstoy’s perception of the world is as vital today as it was when he wrote this. His characters, the questions he wrestles with— he could’ve written this yesterday. And Maggie Gyllenhaal’s reading was so moving. Like her soul was connected to the story. It may not be the “preferred” translation, but it doesn’t matter. Amazing that this was free. A gift!

In Focused Forward: Navigating the Storms of Adult ADHD, author and self-proclaimed "ADHD-er" James M. Ochoa, LPC, goes beyond the management and scheduling techniques most ADHD books focus on to deal with what really holds so many ADHD-ers back - the emotional fallout of ADHD.

insightful book on ADHD
Revisado: 08-21-16
James Ochoa's book on adult ADHD was unlike other ADHD books I've read. It was insightful, clearly written by someone who has experienced ADHD in a very personal way. But also insightful because, as a therapist, he has seen a great variety of ADHD cases. He sees what most of us share in common but embraces put individuality as well. It is an encouraging, loving, exciting, challenging, realistic book, and I can't recommend it strongly enough to people who struggle with ADHD or love someone who does!

Dirty Laundry in Paradise. For a moment, my estimation of the good Mr. Brae had increased somewhat, as I gathered he didn’t want one of his servants taking the blame for a deed the poor soul hadn’t perpetrated. I glanced at Holmes to determine his take on the situation, but I wasn’t surprised that he had taken little notice of Mr. Brae. “Would you pass the milk, Watson?” Ignoring the man completely as one could ignore a bumbling buffoon, as Holmes had dubbed him after our previous encounter. Dutifully, I passed him the cream which he slowly poured into his tea.

Expecting Holmes and not finding him
Revisado: 05-06-16
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Listening to this book is not a waste of time, but turn it on without high expectations.
I thought for the most part that Cartawick really captured the personalities of Holmes and Watson, but in each of the three stories there was a lack of substance and challenge. They had a faint guise of mystery but really they were just stories in which you find out something at the end you didn't know.
What could Pennie Mae Cartawick have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
If the author were to take more time over the story and the nuisances such as Holmes observing the impossible only to explain it all logically the stories would be richer and more believably connected to the originals.
Which character – as performed by Simon Prebble – was your favorite?
Simon Prebble is a great reader. His Holmes was excellent, but Holmes didn't have enough dialogue.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Probably not.
Any additional comments?
Sir A. C. Doyle was a genius; Cartawick isn't claiming to be. I enjoyed her dialogue and the shadow of my favorite characters I found there.
