Brilliant summation of the check vice grip on our lives

Revisado: 04-26-25

He absolutely nailed the problem. Bill is an amazing case for it gives a background in the history and he’s actually got some amazing suggestions on how we can overcome it. Problem is it’s a monumental effort to do it. However, maybe people will be motivated now with the rise of fascist type government in the United States. And the support it has with all the technology oligarch since Silicon Valley.

Idea lost on me

Revisado: 06-04-24

For a romance novel, it initially had a great premise and plot. But I found the h’s approach dealing with life implausible. One hand she married a successful lawyer who wanted more children and her being a trad wife to him rather than a career woman. She insisted as a feminist approach for a career and carving out her own life. Then she’s dismayed, shocked when he leaves her for a younger woman who can give him a baby. Continuing on as a great feminist, she starts up a quickie love affair with the leader of a boy band, and ends up having a great awakening and flowering of love in herself. Surprise! Somehow a 20 year age difference is something to be ashamed of, to hide to the undoing of them all. I can’t help but assume that had she been upfront with her daughter her ex-husband her business partner in the art gallery the things would’ve actually gone much smoother. But that wouldn’t have further the plot. That she was so incredibly stupid repeatedly in public situations, allowing him to take physical liberties on a boat, in restaurant after restaurant in hallways and street corners. The one exception being there’s cameras in an elevator well duh there were cameras everywhere. So much of the public attention they brought on themselves in their behavior, And in the end, she tried to act like the adult in the room by ending love affair when she should’ve been doing that all along. I think would have preferred her making a choice that was positive for her life and those she loved. And the author could’ve addressed the issue of May December romance with an older woman head on a in positive way. Ultimately, she’s left a generation of young women readers with the notion that they can’t love a younger man and have a life with him. But he could with her. And we’re still left with the stigma placed on older women calling them MILFs, cougars and other epithets.

I loved the whole series. Not steamy but a toasty romance. The Christmas novella was adorable and a relatabke family Holiday celebration.

Stop here ! Read no Further!

Revisado: 04-28-24

This is a four book series don’t bother with the fifth book. If you’re looking for a fun, muddy, spicy adventurous romp the develop some really interesting characters and locals. This set of books is for you, Stretch from Pennsylvania to Alaska to New York to France with excellent character development great sexual descriptions and a fun romp. They just got better with book. I highly recommend the series. I do not recommend book 5 called I to own you or I own you…… don’t bother. It drags and it’s not spicy. it’s boring, it should’ve been written as a epilogue to book 4 instead.

I’ve read them all

Is it possible to be a Louise Penny addict? I think so. This isn’t a detective series it’s about a fellowship of 3 pines. . At this point, I think I’m an unofficial member of that little community and their lives.

Quite a yarn

Revisado: 06-06-23

Even though on audible, the reader was really terrible and uninspiring to the imagination, this vivid book captured my attention. For one written, so long ago with no predecessors it’s truly impressive. Compelling plot, and storyline. Totally bizarre characters. An almost believable fantasy. If you want to be transported back to the days of Flash Gordon and Tarzan, read this book.

One persons, interesting perspective

Revisado: 06-06-23

The author certainly glossed over or omitted a lot of things that didn’t fit with his hypothesis in any given chapter, and he obviously doesn’t have any kind of spiritual practice. If he hast to ask what gives a Sapien meaning in life. Love, compassion, equanimity, and kindness. were not part of his equation.

Wonderful and Depressing

Revisado: 05-10-23

I have lived in California, all my life, 60 years. I’ve come to love it as a state of mind, as well as a state of place. I’ve known little of the history after the early missionaries, especially of agriculture, early speculators and settlers. This book was an eye-opener. I learned a lot, but came away sad for my children and grandchildren at the state of the state that they are inheriting with climate change. And then I went to the natural resources defense fund and made a donation. That’s the group that beat Pat Brown finally even though it took years and restored water to the rivers for the chinook salmon. Thank you Mark for a wonderful read.

Disappointed delivery

Revisado: 04-18-20

It appears that this book was narrated by audible in the early days of the company when it was mainly tool for the deaf and disabled. The narrator puts absolutely no life into the rendition of the story. He speaking is flat, dull, and professorial. This wasn’t one of Mitchner’s liveliest books especially waiting through a lot of stuff in the beginning but it wasn’t helped by the narration at all.
