A Quiet Lovely Story

Revisado: 04-10-25

I listen to this story a lot—it’s like comfort food for my heart. It describes small town life so realistically, it reminds me of my Midwest roots. There are good characters & obnoxious characters & characters just living their lives

Hilarious Sci-Fi Satire

Revisado: 02-08-17

Adam Baldwin is an exuberant, talented reader. (Well, he IS an actor.) The story is fast-paced & imaginatively fun. I loved the humorous references to contemporary things such as the TV series Firefly. (Adam acted in that series.) If you're a sensitive liberal with a poor sense of humor, it might not be quite as humorous to you.Thanks for an excellent listen!

Beautiful Story of life in the African Bush

Revisado: 09-21-16

Thoroughly enjoyed this well written & well read book. Lawrence Anthony is an amazing conservationist with a remarkable ability to intuit how to connect with his adopted herd of rogue elephants. I was fascinated as the story unfolded. There are plenty of other interesting story lines woven in with the saga of the elephants. I could relate from my experiences with other creatures I have observed & interacted with over the years. (Though much less dramatic!) Lovely story. May his influence continue!

Enjoyable Read! (Listen :)

Revisado: 09-10-16

The story pulled me along & kept me interested. Although it is a novel, the topic of ignorant prejudice against the Chinese was very real. I loved how the story unfolded with two timelines & the descendants' lives crossed paths to a resolution. It appealed to my sense of hope! And the fact that there have always been people who went against the mob mentality & known we are all human, despite cultural differences. Unfortunately, sometimes they are few & far between...

Enjoyable Read

Revisado: 09-06-16

This is a nicely written novel that I found both entertaining & gently thought provoking. I left the Midwest decades ago, but the author's descriptions brought various pleasant memories back to me, quite in addition to enjoying this unique twist to a road trip story.

Easy to understand!

Revisado: 08-18-16

A family member was put on the Atkins diet by a doctor for health reasons (not weight loss) and this is an excellent, simple explanation of how to apply the principles of the diet.
Included is a basic shopping list for the first week & a week's list of specific meals. Most of the meals are simple preparation, not recipes, but some easy recipes are included as well.
No exotic ingredients & things that can easily be purchased as organic, which we prefer. Useful book!

Good starting point for decluttering

Revisado: 08-18-16

Concise. Good overview, room by room, for decluttering. I wouldn't tape things inside my cabinet doors as it becomes unsightly over time. There's a putty you can buy that is for hanging posters in dorm rooms. It can be stuck & unstuck & doesn't net surfaces. Thought I'd share. :)

What's not to love about this?

Revisado: 06-21-16

These two writers are a joy to listen to. As were the other poets whose poems were read. Funny. Thought provoking. Educational in a pleasant, not stodgy way. Thank you!

A Lovely Story, BeautifullyRead

Revisado: 04-10-16

I missed. this book in the throes of growing up in the turbulent 1960's & 70's. Now I've read it during a difficult time in my life,& it was a great comfort. It is full of life lessons without being preachy, in my humble opinion.
