Huge impact for nice guys

Revisado: 02-09-25

My 41-year marriage to a 98-percent-of-the-time terrific guy that I loved and 2-present-of the-time angry, raging, relationship-damaging terrible guy that I hated (mostly over sex & money & his insecurity that put so much pressure on me)...has for the first time given me hope. All I ever said to him before glanced off of him. All the suppressed anger of my own raged inside. But this book appears to be having a profound effect on him and we've had conversations I never thought possible ...where it is safe to say what I really think about these don't-talk-about-it topics and he really listens and gets it and apologizes (shocking) and really understands. This book is POWERFUL!

Not hard hitting like midnight library. It's a fantasy trying to persuade reader to protect the environment

Revisado: 01-03-25

I was hoping this book by the same author would be as insightful and transforming in my thinking as the midnight library. But it wasn't. It's merely a nice story, a fantasy intended to promote protection of the environment, and to preach the philosophy that we humans are the environment and the universe; all shared molecules. These are good themes but not thought provoking or enlightening or insightful, at least not to me.

Two horny guys on an interesting, futuristic space mission

Revisado: 10-28-24

The story/mystery is pretty interesting initially, but gets not-so-interesting in the middle, but better again at the very end.

Good & brief summary

Revisado: 08-08-23

Since I have an upcoming cruise to Spain, I wanted to know something of the countries history without spending too much time in laborious details. This book fit the bill.

Powerful and insightful and intriguing

Excellent book that causes you to reflect a lot about your own life in a good way. The reader was particularly good as well.

It gave me ideas as a plan in addition on my house, but just OK

Revisado: 01-04-23

The main reason I listened to this book was because it was the only one I could find on Audible that was about home design. I could never have read this book if it were a physical book because it did not have a lot of punch points for me. But listening to it while I was doing some thing else was helpful. It helped me think about some things I hadn't thought of, and I was able to make a lot of notes about what I want or don't want in my new addition on my house.

Concise history & easy listening

Revisado: 06-03-22

This book had the right amount of detail (and only 2 hours long), so I got the gist of events and various view points without getting bogged down in details like longer books do. It started way back and ended with Regan presidency. I liked quotes being relayed as recordings or actor performances of actual historical people because it made it more interesting and broke up the sameness of the narrator's voice.

Good but author too crazy about Betty to be balanced presentation

Revisado: 03-08-22

Author is so gushy about Betty White that book can't possibly be a true representation of the real human being Betty White. I'd have preferred a more real-life, well-rounded view of Betty White. I didn't care for the quizzes at end of chapters. I want to be given information, not quizzed and scored. At the end, readers are even belittled if they didn't score high enough to honor Betty. I listened on Audible to the book. The book does a good job of presenting Betty White's career.
