Confusingly named to appear as a IFS series. So heavy on the nasal gazing of self labeling and “identities.

A MUST LISTEN; plots, subplots. What a storyteller!

Revisado: 01-11-23

Rachel weaves back and forth across the globe, and back and forth in time, using this deft warp and weft storytelling technique to create a tapestry of the global oil and gas industry, while entertaining us with the sad, the funny and the bizarre in subplots and anecdotes along the way.

We see the resource curse manifest small and large, did you know Russia, despite its oil and gas wealth, and its corrupt Olympic folly, doesn’t even have a highway from Moscow to the east? Hasn’t built multi lane roads in decades? It’s health system has fallen so behind that Women have 6x worse cardiovascular outcomes than the west?

I’m not all the way through, there is so much here… I am listening chapter by chapter in tandem with other books, but never loose the thread it’s so well written and read.

I can’t imagine reading this on paper, Rachel’s word-skill is best conveyed in her own tones. Thank you audio books!

Great book for new lesbians

Revisado: 08-27-22

I read this when I was 20 and in my first lesbian relationship. I always remember it as one of my favorite most influential books. Couldn’t remember why.

38 years later, I’ve re-listened here. The story is sweet, the reading is excellent, and though it’s a lovely coming of age book, now that I’ve been out all these years, it’s hard to remember why this impacted me so profoundly.

But I wish that coming out enjoyment for all you young lesbians :)

compelling & well read

Revisado: 08-27-22

Listened start to end. Shrier makes a compelling case something is going wrong for young girls with an epidemic of trans identification and girls that way outstrips boys. Triad looks at possible causes, case studies, the role of experts and reviews of older trans folks.

Well worth the read if you are at all concerned about young girls living their best lives.

Narrator too annoying. Couldn’t get past it

Revisado: 01-16-22

Only listened to forst 2 chapters ; “I’m an English actor” voice, all from the nose, so irritating I couldn’t follow the words. His accents were really amateur sounding, and the vocal rhythm and tone didn’t vary between characters. Couldn’t ever believe a real person was actually speaking in the dialogue, and dialogue and narrative blurred in to one blah.

Usually the story gets me through narrators I’m not fond of, but not this one. Couldn’t even tell you what’s happened so far except someone died and someone is called a quiet American. Oh well, I’ll have to watch the movie to find out what happened in this famous classic novel.

Still listening as I wrote this; it’s written in the first person; if a real person was narrating his own story it would not sound like someone reading a book. Does not bring any life to the page.

This’ll be a wired review…

Revisado: 12-20-21

So with end of all-day headache, curled in chair w cat, picked this randomly to try and nap by.. No ideA who he is. Had heard of Pearl Jam but I was 6000 miles away at the time hearing a different music scene. Grunge was a word in a far off haze. So appropriate that I listened in dream space. From there I could hear the lilt of his speaking voice. Then he sang Porch and I wondered why I was trying to nap to such a high energy song, yet in dream space a whole other story unfolded over and in the sound of this song, such as I can’t explain in words or rightly remember. The song, unplugged, was raw and fresh and honest, though I could not understand it. After the podcast and I woke up I replayed Porch. Heard the amazing quality of his singing voice and raw authenticity… still didn’t understand but will go find lyrics. My point is the art spoke even in the fog of dream. In conscious waking I will listen again and seek out the work of Pearl Jam that I missed 30y ago. I heard Eddy reel off all the women singers who influenced him and they all influenced me too. I start w that common ground.

Didn’t say abridged anywhere

Revisado: 12-14-21

Seemed so thin for a Tony hillerman but was over in 4 chapters, then realized why. It was cut down, with only key plot elements left.

Free, so can’t complain- but miss the hillerman experience. A way to dip your toe into his writing- but read a FULL novel and don’t judge the writer on this version

Reader makes female and child characters sound whiny in all their dialogue which was annoying
