T. Ryder Smith is the best narrator

Revisado: 07-10-23

I found this title after listening to The New and Improved Romie Futch. The narration was outstanding so I sought more titles narrated by T. Ryder Smith. I wasn't impressed with the writing of The Last Blue like I was with The New and Improved Romie Futch, but the story's good enough. It's a good beach read

perfect narration

Revisado: 07-01-23

The narration is perfect - literally nothing to improve on. The writing is brilliant, funny, and absurd. I thoroughly enjoyed this the first time I listened to it about a year ago. My bookclub selected this and it's just as good the second time around

frustrating

Revisado: 07-24-22

Oof. If you've read any other reviews, you know already this is a sad story. It's also a frustrating one. The main character is so insistent that his life is small and he is unworthy. I wanted to scream "Go to therapy right now!" over and over again. It's also a story of unconditional love and unwavering friendship.

Ok, but not something I'd highly recommend

Revisado: 05-28-22

This came highly recommended, however I wasn't enthralled. I appreciated the writing about the ethical and philosophical questions about gene editing, but most of the biography felt like simple relaying of facts - this person did this and then this person did this, etc. I prefer more storytelling to help me understand the subject of the biography better.

Enjoyable

Revisado: 12-31-21

I enjoyed the story and the narration. The main character is likable. The descriptions and the world described are so vivid it's easy to visualize each scene and imagine yourself in the story

Endearing characters in a well told story

Revisado: 11-16-21

Did you read All the Light We Cannot See and hold your breath as Marie-Laure hides in the attic broadcasting secret radio transmissions while von Rumpel searches the house below? If so, you'll do the same in this book when young Konstance of Cloud Cuckoo Land... well I'm not going to give away any spoilers!

These characters are as endearing, and the tale as captivating. Doerr takes his time weaving the stories of his characters together (be patient). The result is a sweet and satisfying novel with a little nail biting. And the narration is good, too!

crass, hilarious, vulnerable

Revisado: 06-03-21

She made me laugh hard and want to give her a long hug. I have six people I want to send this book to today. Samantha Irby is my new hero.

cheesey and predictable

Revisado: 04-14-19

I spent a credit on this after reading so many rave reviews. However, this wasn't my cup of tea. You may enjoy this if you are a big fan of chick flicks and chick lit. A little too bubble-gummy for me. The narrator didn't do the book any favors.

Beautiful rendition

Revisado: 04-26-18

Beautifully written and narrated. I devoured the story. Definitely recommended for anyone who loves the classics. Circe comes alive as a rich and complex character - vulnerable and incredibly powerful in turns - surprisingly relatable.
