An afternoon read that will stick for days!

Revisado: 02-04-21

While I was able to complete this in an afternoon, I had to go back and listen again and really ruminate on what I had just read. The story is simple but it forces the reader to reflect far longer upon the ways that we judge each other, that we act upon one another, that we shape the future through our understanding- and lack of understanding- of each other. Even our best intentions can be ruinous.

Before the Flood...

Revisado: 09-12-18

A fascinating version of the well-known biblical tale told from the point of view of a woman not even named. Powerful and Authentic.

Another Magical Tale

Revisado: 09-12-18

Great story with fun twists. I didn't like the central characters as much as in Moving Castle but still a fun story.

Loved this one almost as much as Howl's Moving Castle. Fun characters, a great story that pulls you along to the very end. I love this magical world.

Heartwrenching and Heartwarming

Revisado: 09-12-18

Written with the naked honesty of diary entries, reflecting on the deepest emotions we attach to our most valued relationships, reads like a gentle love poem. Visceral. Poignant. Lovely!

Gripping to the last line!

So many twists and yet it all comes out at the end. Kaz Brecker is masterful and frightening and I could not wait to hear him win it all. Great story.

Cheers for the bad guys

Beautifully written characters with vast depth. A story that continues to twist and surprise you to the very end. I loved the first person narrative from each character. A great story!

Great story, Meh reader.

Revisado: 10-09-17

I really liked this story, excellent world-building and characterization. The reader I did not care for. She speaks too breathy and monotone. A few times she messed up one of the main character's names (Kai pronounced K-eye but she mistakenly said K-ay.) And her voice characterization was so slight that it was sometimes hard to know which character that she was portraying in the conversation. When she was reading descriptive narrative, she was too monotone and did not give the scene enough intensity. Overall, I probably would have enjoyed reading the physical book more than listening but the story was interesting enough to move past the narration.

Fascinating stuff but probably better in print

Revisado: 03-28-17

Any additional comments?

This was a really interesting book but I think that I would have enjoyed it more in print. There are diagrams that the print book has to illustrate what the author is discussing and I think this is the type of book that I would have wanted to underline and make notes in the margin. A truly fascinating subject matter and well written. You can tell the writer is passionate.
