Outstanding and a Must Hear

Revisado: 03-29-24

There were so many parts of this book that I had to rewind and review because they hit home hard. She shines a light on the parts of ourselves that we are holding us back, and if we just took the time to shine a flashlight on it, we might make the choice to change. I highly recommend this book to people regularly. My sister recommended it to me and I’m so glad she did. My life is better because of this book. I make better decisions and I’m living more authentically. I’m a better parent. I’m a better daughter a better wife and I’m a better friend because of this book.

Brutally Slow. Do not recommend

Revisado: 11-26-22

I thought I would give this a try based on a recommendation, however, I couldn’t even make it all the way through it. It was brutally boring. I kept waiting for the story to pick up and by chapter 16 and it just didn’t. The narrator does a fine job with the accents, that’s not the problem, the story just fails to ever pick up. It seems like the author put way too much emphasis on making readers want to know whether or not the lead character is going to have an affair on his wife more so than the other archaeological content which is actually what I was looking for. From an archaeology buff standpoint, this book left me sorely disappointed even though I knew it was fiction.

Unsurprisingly, I fell asleep to this playing two times. Unfortunately I was listening to this as I was working so one of the two times was actually while I was working. It was really that boring.

Considering I like the subject matter, I was really hoping this would be a great book and was sadly disappointed.

A Thorough & Current Deep Dive on Topic

Revisado: 10-24-22

“Life Before Life” gives a thorough and in-depth deep dive regarding the topic of children who report possible past lives or possible past life information to be further studied. This book gives detailed analysis on the studies that Dr. Tucker and his team have analyzed. Although there are a few of the paragraphs in chapters that go over my head as a lay person, the majority the information was easily digestible for the listener, and can be confirmed by cross referencing Dr. Tucker and his team’s data. This book is the most up-to-date and helpful resource for parents whose children might be beginning to mention the possibility of a past life. It does cover the topic thoroughly from all angles, which I highly appreciated. The narrator keepsake fine pace, flow and volume throughout the audiobook, keeping it interesting to the listener consistently. With a very busy schedule, I appreciated this book being available in an audio format.

Broadens the View of Past Life Studies

Revisado: 10-18-22

This book is well written, and the beginning is captivating. The end of this brief audiobook progresses swiftly to guide the listener into new studies in consciousness and reality via quantum physics that have not been previously considered. It forces the listener to critically think independently outside their comfort level by looping in the new studies regarding quantum consciousness. Some people are ready to explore this territory, and others are not. If you’re open minded this is a great book for you. It guides the reader through the research pioneers in this field such as Dr. Tucker and Ian Stephenson, and then ties in newer scientific finds regarding fascinating developments in science as it pertains to the universe. The final chapter marries the two concepts well. The narrator does a fine job. With my busy work schedule I was happy to find this book on audible.

An interesting glimpse

Revisado: 11-07-19

This audible book is a good fit for those interested in the DNA side of anthropology. It mixes modern technological finds with a quaint narrative for each character to give the listener a valuable glimpse into the time period each of the women lived in. Great find for the DNA/23 and Me curious.

Do NOT Pass This Book Over! Simply Amazing.

Revisado: 08-08-19

This book is well narrated by the characters in the accents that set the stage for the south. You get to feel see and experience each character as the author intended. I've wanted to read this book for years and haven't had the time or opportunity to do so because of "life". How wonderful it is that this book is on audible and is narrated so well that even the busiest of book lovers can dive into this book. This is one of those stories that lingers with you way beyond the final chapter. It's a favorite "go to" that will be picked up many times over, like your favorite sweater.

A Captivating Quick Read. Humorous Narration

Revisado: 08-08-19

If you're a history buff looking for a quick yet captivating read, this is your audiobook. The narrator keeps the plot and its twists interesting, lists his sources, and doesn't deviate much from the storyline. His voice is pleasant for narration, and he has a good sense of humor to keep the listener engaged throughout the book.

Behind the Scenes

Revisado: 07-31-19

It was a delight to hear that Werner Von Braun publicly acknowledged John Houbolt for LOR in the Mission Operation Control Room in building 30 at the Johnson Space Center after the first LOR occurred! I was within walking distance and didn’t know that was happening at the time! It brought tears to my eyes! - James Davis, former IBM/NASA employee.

A riveting and unparalleled journey. Must read.

Revisado: 07-11-19

A riveting and unparalleled journey that began with a father with many battle wounds and scars which ran deep (both emotionally and physically); completed full circle by a son whose forgiveness brings closure to a myriad of people.

This book is not one I would ordinarily select, but was in the monthly free section, so I took a chance. This thorough (but not too thorough) journey takes the reader from start to finish on healing a lifetime of grief from a frightening childhood to look past his father’s rage to find the root cause, and heal it post mortem. In doing so to brings closure to his brother and himself, he also brings closure to the family of the friend his father left behind. This book is about healing and the journey, is worth the distance for the redemption it rains down on those left behind. I cried. We all have our own Mulligan. Finish to the end and bring Mulligan home for burial, it’s worth it, and you’ll be glad you did.

Perfect for the College Student or Professor

Revisado: 06-24-19

I was disappointed this wasn't in the same genre I had hoped, as the author's other book "Denial" had left me unable to put the book down, as I devoured it in one sitting. This book is positively perfect for the college student or professor who is in the current on campus setting vividly described in the entirety of the book; however this isn't a good book for a mom's coffee club or book club. As usual, Lipstadt is on point in her narrative, however I was hoping for more every day familial instances. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
