You are a failed novelist about to turn 50. A wedding invitation arrives in the mail: Your boyfriend of the past nine years is engaged to someone else. You can't say yes - it would be too awkward - and you can't say no - it would look like defeat. On your desk are a series of invitations to half-baked literary events around the world. Question: How do you arrange to skip town? Answer: You accept them all.

Way too cutesy
Revisado: 07-23-22
I bought this because it had such amazing reviews. I found the main characters beyond boring. The writing is supposed to be clever. I found it irritating. It is just too cute by half. The reader made it tolerable. Could not finish it.

Among the most celebrated and beloved novels of 2021, Anthony Doerr’s gorgeous third novel is a triumph of imagination and compassion, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope—and a book. In Cloud Cuckoo Land, Doerr has created a magnificent tapestry of times and places that reflects our vast interconnectedness—with other species, with each other, with those who lived before us, and with those who will be here after we’re gone.

Annoying unsympathetic character
Revisado: 04-24-22
Not sure what the WIN is here for the reader.
Neither the “victim” or “perpetrator” elicited much sympathy - which may have been the Author’s point
But for me neither character was interesting enough for me to give a crap.
Tedious: both the characters AND the story

From New York Times best-selling author Stephen Graham Jones comes a novel that is equal parts psychological horror and cutting social commentary on identity politics and the American-Indian experience. Fans of Jordan Peele and Tommy Orange will love this story as it follows the lives of four American-Indian men and their families, all haunted by a disturbing, deadly event that took place in their youth. Years later, they find themselves tracked by an entity bent on revenge, totally helpless as the culture and traditions they left behind catch up to them in a vengeful way.

Unpleasant
Revisado: 07-17-21
Maybe its covid related - i luv a good scare story but this was just purely unpleasant. Great reader - luvd his accent of natives from the area which was real and not exaggerated but the story was just unpleasant and not compelling.

An Epidemic of Absence asks what will happen in developing countries, which, as they become more affluent, have already seen an uptick in allergic disease: Will India end up more allergic than Europe? Velasquez-Manoff also details a controversial underground movement that has coalesced around the treatment of immune-mediated disorders with parasites. Against much of his better judgment, he joins these do-it-yourselfers and reports his surprising results.

Humor and humanity in perfect harmony
Revisado: 05-30-20
Thank you to the author and thank you to who the person who chose the narrator.
My grandmother in Salem always used to say when kids put something dirty in their mouths “You’ll eat a peck of dirt before you die”. This book has convinced me that may be the best medicine for us.

Was talked into reading this. Was absolutely absorbed. And her reading of it contributed to its - relevance. It changed my view of both Michelle and Barack I’m surprising ways.

After standing at Donald Trump’s side on Election Night, Cliff Sims joined him in the West Wing as special assistant to the president and director of White House message strategy. He soon found himself pulled into the president’s inner circle as a confidante, an errand boy, an advisor, a punching bag, and a friend. This is the story of what it was really like in the West Wing as a member of the president’s team. It's a story of power and palace intrigue, backstabbing and bold victories, as well as painful moral compromises, occasionally with yourself.

I wish the author read his own book
Revisado: 02-02-19
The story is great.
The intro READ BY THE AUTHOR is great.
The Audible reader Mr May is a complete mismatch for this book. Where Sims writes with a down-to-earth warm style that makes me want to sit and talk to him May sounds like he is reading a bio of Lincoln. Waaay too formal. A complete mismatch. I kept replaying sentences that should have changed the tone, or word emphasis.
So frustrating. I will absolutely do a test run on the reader before ever getting an audible book again.
