Historia
1975 is a time of change in America. The Vietnam War is ending. Muhammad Ali is fighting Joe Frazier. And in the smalltown of Monta Clare, Missouri, girls are disappearing. When the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges—Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake. Patch and those who love him soon discover that the line between triumph and tragedy has never been finer. And that their search for answers will lead them to truths that could mean losing one another.

What a great surprise.
Revisado: 10-29-24
I randomly chose this book as I was ready to listen to something new. Not sure why I chose this one but so glad I did! The tremendous and deep story development was off the charts... every character is flawed, yet every character is memorable and most are those you could love. The narrator did a fantastic job. Honestly, this is definitely one of the best books I have listened to in months if not years. I'm going to recommend it to my book club! Excellent all the way around.

Historia
Terry Crews spent decades cultivating his bodybuilder physique and bravado. On the outside, he seemed invincible: he escaped his abusive father, went pro in the NFL, and broke into the glamorous world of Hollywood. But his fixation with appearing outwardly tough eventually turned into an exhausting performance in which repressing his emotions let them get the better of him—leading him into addiction and threatening the most important relationships in his life. Now Crews is sharing the raw, never-before-told story of his quest to find the true meaning of toughness.

Don't pass this one up!

I enjoy listening to biographies from time to time, and I chose this one basically because I like Terry Crews... but I really didn't expect it to be as amazing as it was. I don't think I've ever heard a more candid and forthright memoir. This man absolutely exposes all in the most humble, forthright, and intelligent way. I particularly appreciated his views and sharing of feelings about racism in general, and racial issues in this country. It was refreshing and heartening and, again, his honesty and intellect really stand out. I would put this over Matthew McConaughey's very successful biography, along with multiple other best-selling biographies I have listened to or read. I rarely listen to audio books twice, unless it's been quite a long time, but I'm considering listening to this again right now to make sure I absorbed it all. I'm so grateful that he took the time, courage, and thoughtfulness to share.

Historia
For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight - or the headlines. Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past. Throughout her rise to fame and during some of the most pivotal moments of her life, Demi battled addiction, body image issues, and childhood trauma that would follow her for years - all while juggling a skyrocketing career and at times negative public perception.

What a pleasant surprise
Revisado: 02-18-24
I stumbled across this book and figured I'd give it a try as I've been listening to autobiographies lately. I didn't expect the depth and honesty in this work and I certainly didn't expect to relate in ways that affected me very deeply. The candid sharing in this book touched me profoundly, and as I have only recently started therapy late in life, I was able to relate portions to my own Journey and learn some things about myself.
This is worth the time.

Historia
In a remote Polish village, Janina devotes the dark winter days to studying astrology, translating the poetry of William Blake, and taking care of the summer homes of wealthy Warsaw residents. Her reputation as a crank and a recluse is amplified by her not-so-secret preference for the company of animals over humans. Then, a neighbor, Big Foot, turns up dead. Soon, other bodies are discovered, in increasingly strange circumstances. As suspicions mount, Janina inserts herself into the investigation, certain that she knows whodunit. If only anyone would pay her mind....

Seriously ?
Revisado: 06-08-22
I only gutted this out because someone I know recommended it repeatedly. I have never been more perplexed by a book in my life. Maybe something was lost in the translation. Unnecessary rambling was maddening...and the end was hardly worth it. If you're into astrology, you might find a redeeming quality... otherwise, I recommend you run the other way and find a different book.

Honestly I got this book on a whim, it didn't hurt that it was free with my Audible membership. I don't know why I didn't have very high expectations, but it reeled me in. Well developed, unique storyline, great narration. An overall excellent experience. I highly recommend.

I loved the first two novels in the series and it was a dream come true when a third came out. I haven't loved all of Grisham's novels in between, but I consider this one of his best! and as before, this narrator is top of the stack.

Historia
Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors - and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead - with the suitcase and painting both pointing them toward one man.

The misogynistic content overrides the plot
Revisado: 04-06-21
To be fair, I didn't get past chapter 6. I gave it is long as I could to have a story pull me in. Meanwhile I was gagging on the over-the-top self description of the main character. You don't have to love him, he loves himself quite enough. Maybe someday I'll see if I can get a little further but for now I need to listen to a real book. the narrator, however, was perfect for the part.

Historia
I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

Deserved the great ratings!
Revisado: 11-22-20
I genuinely expected the amazing ratings were inflated because of the name behind the book. I was sadly mistaken! A remarkable mix of storytelling, thoughtful musings and in-your-face philosophies. His narration is unique to any book I've ever listened to including biographies. An unprecedented mix of humility, candid disclosures, and utter confidence. It's a fast listen because it's difficult to stop. I highly recommend it.
