Unforgettable Story and. Engaging Performance.

Revisado: 11-20-24

This thought-provoking novel masterfully blends wit, emotion, and innovation. Yu’s unique blend of philosophical sci-fi themes, humor, and heart ensures the story resonates long after the final word.

Yaegashi delivers a standout performance, bringing depth and nuance to the novel. His voice beautifully captures the protagonist’s humor, melancholy, and introspection, adding an engaging layer that perfectly complements the book’s reflective nature.

Whether you’re a fan of sci-fi or not, I highly recommend this audiobook—it’s a compelling experience that transcends genres.

A Marvelous Blend of Humor and Existential Reflection

Revisado: 10-20-24

What made this audiobook truly stand out was the seamless balance between Tsumura’s thought-provoking exploration of work life and Kay’s compelling voice acting. The way Kay brings life to the protagonist’s quiet moments of reflection, and the absurdity of her odd jobs, made the entire experience feel both intimate and profound. It’s rare to find an audiobook that captures the spirit of a story so well, and I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys slow-burning, introspective stories with a touch of humor and a focus on personal growth.

A Great Book. A Great Ikigai Lesson.

Revisado: 10-19-24

Tim Tamashiro offers listeners a reason to return and reflect on his insightful thoughts about ikigai. He’s not just a writer; he’s a storyteller, skillfully using his voice to plant lasting ideas in listeners’ minds.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to live with purpose through the ikigai way, and to those who wish to clear the obstacles from their life’s path.

Almost a Good Book, but…

Revisado: 10-13-24

This book was clearly written by two authors with very different levels of knowledge about Renaissance art. Chapters 1 through 3 were nearly useless, filled with shallow mentions of Italian names, dates, and paintings, offering no depth. It felt more like a poor museum leaflet than an informative book.

The narrator’s voice was grating, making the listening experience unpleasant. Things improved slightly in Chapter 4 with a focus on Michelangelo and Raphael, but even then, details were lacking. Brief mentions of Da Vinci’s studies, The Last Supper, and the Mona Lisa offered no real insight.

By chapter 9, the author shifts focus onto Cubism, Dada, Realism, and Neo-Realism, introducing artists like Dalí and Picasso. The chapter wrapped up with the end of World War II and more artist names surfacing. Dalí’s The Sacrament of the Last Supper was introduced, and the author mentioned how the Mona Lisa traveled to Washington, D.C. in the back of an ambulance and later made its way to Japan. The chapter concluded with some artistic details on Andy Warhol’s Mona Lisa, making it the most inspiring section of the book.

The book concluded without much substance, touching briefly on Da Vinci’s pop icon status and the sales of Salvator Mundi. Overall, if you want to learn more about Da Vinci’s work, this book won’t give you much more than an introduction.

Useful Information for New YouTubers

Revisado: 08-19-24

Some useful info. Especially, in chapter about monetizing a YouTube channel. The chapters on equipment, software, and techniques are bare minimum. You won’t find “how-tos”, or “techs & tips” in this audiobook.

Keep in mind that this book was written in 2022. YouTube has since changed and refined many things, including ads, as well as regulations. Overall, this is a good book to listen to.

Argh, argh… A Thriller Told by A Drunken Pirate Voice

Revisado: 08-02-24

Clever story, but listening to a scratchy high-mid voice with Mid Atlantic accent for 6+ hours was a torture for me.

So many words…

Revisado: 06-09-24

In short, this book is about three things: listening, speaking, and repeating. Good to listen to when you are absolutely run out of things to do, or when you’re sitting on a bus and don’t want to about your boss, your spouse, your problem…

Love Every Word…

Revisado: 05-07-24

These are bed-time-stories only drunken-blacksheep-grandpas tell. These fairytales are keys to laughter and funny dreams. I wish there are more fairytales books like this one,

Fantastic Interviews

After listening to these interviews, I wished that King would write a book named, “Mysteries in the Life of King.”
