A breath of fresh air

With everything happening in the world, it was like taking a great vacation to drive around the state listening to Jerry. I recommended it to a few friends who loved it so much they listened twice in a row. Thank you, Jerry. Thank you.

Beautiful book

Revisado: 09-12-20

Not only loved the book, but ending up loving the child. She sounds absolutely adorable and worth all the work the parents put in. Plus if the parents are reading this. great choice of names.

Brilliant

Revisado: 06-18-19

Totally unique from the setting to the characters to the plot. So many twists and turns and not the kind you saw coming a mile away. And on top of that, I learn a lot. Really disappointed when it was over. Even the author interview at the end of the audiobook was fascinating.

Way more than a true crime

It was an education, a human interest story, a tribute to nurses and I am one so I cried while I was listening. Really amazing.

Fascinating

Really enjoyed it and got so much insight into like in politics and in the White House. Author seems like a real character, someone I would like to know.

Just what I needed

Revisado: 04-29-17

I feel like I just got the best education I ever got on what is really happening in this country. And some direction on where to go next. Hopeful now instead of hopeless. I have to say Elizabeth Warren is an excellent teacher. It kept my attention.

One of those books you finish and then you start thinking of friends you have to tell about it.

This one will stay with me

Revisado: 03-05-13

I thought I already knew Scientology having watched TV programs about it and read a few articles. But it is far more sinister than I realized. I was glued to this audiobook. The story was layed out beautifully and the picture painted is shocking. I watched a documentary obout the Catholic church covering up for pediphile priests at the same time I was listening to this book and I was struck by the similarity, organized religions so corrupt and dangerous. It is so important in this life to be an imdependent thinker and not look fopr some group to validate your existence because soon they will be doing just the opposite.

Made me feel like a love struck teenager

Revisado: 01-19-13

I read this book when I was 15 and then read it again and again and again. I was curious if it would have the same effect on me 40 years later and it did! I was glued to the story, though I knew it by heart, rooting for Katherine, John and the children. And fascinated by what life was like back then. And strangely enough, I am not otherwise a fan of historical fiction. This is a rare gem, to me.

I couldn't finish it.

Revisado: 01-19-13

I have loved every book by Barbara Kingsolver, but I was half way through this one still waiting to love it. I couldn't stand the main character and her endless whining about her life. It all seemed to trite. And the names of the characters were so absurd it made me feel like the author was making fun of the poor, that they would name their children such stupid things. I just felt angry listening to the book and not at the book "bad guys." Every character was either good or bad, ignorant or brilliant .One dimensional. I gave up.
