Not my usual fare

Revisado: 04-28-17

I'm not normally into books that talk about the religious and spiritual subjects, but this book was recommended to me by a family member so I thought I would check it out. I was NOT disappointed. The stories in the book are sad, happy, poignant, and everything in between. There isn't too much overly religious stuff, which would have turned me off of it, but there is a little. What the story does have is touching moments and some funny bits to keep you moving right along. I would definitely recommend this to anyone struggling in life, or someone who just wants a good read about an incredibly program in the barrios of LA.

Interesting police procedural

Which character – as performed by J. Scott Bennett – was your favorite?

Michelle Owens. Strange, but I liked his portrayal of her quite a bit

Any additional comments?

J. Scott Bennett was a great articulate narrator and the story was simply intriguing to listen too. I look forward to more from both of these men in the future.

Quote book

Revisado: 01-17-17

Books of quotes are hard to do in audio form. Finding the right cadence without rushing the reading or boring the listener is tough job but this narrator did a great job at it. the soothing sounds in the background were a nice touch. A must have if you find yourself lacking motivation or feeling less than competent at a task.

I might. It was a fun listen and the book was entertaining.
