A very good listen. Well drawn characters and an interesting premise. I’m not sure it’s entirely plausible, however. This is one I’ll discuss with my husband…the lawyer.

Historia
Zylar of Kith B'alak is a four-time loser in the annual Choosing. If he fails to find a nest guardian this time, he'll lose his chance to have a mate for all time. Desperation drives him to try a matching service, but due to a freak solar flare and a severely malfunctioning ship AI, things go way off course. This "human being" is not the Tiralan match he was seeking.

Hilarious, Ridiculous
Revisado: 10-06-23
I wish I knew Ann Aguirre. She must be a very funny person. This is the weirdest sci-fi book I’ve ever listened to. Overall, the story goes along as you would expect: unconventional couple falls in love, risks all to overcome terrible odds, and triumphs. What I loved was the inter species-interplanetary love story. Aguirre’s aliens are delightful, and her well adjusted, feminist, earthling protagonist is endearing. I loved the talking dog, I even thought the alien/human love making scenes worked in the story (eg. not gratuitous). This is a fun listen. Enjoy!

I liked it
Revisado: 09-28-23
I have read other reviews, and I disagree. I thought the narration was fine. I had no trouble with the jumps in time or voice, and I liked the parallel story of Iris and Alex. I particularly liked the way it ended. I easily lose patience with easy, sewn up stories, and I don’t like it when I can guess exactly what will happen. I thought this was a very good listen.

Historia
Superintendent of Nurses Julia Stimson must recruit 64 nurses to relieve the battle-worn British, months before American troops are ready to be deployed. She knows the young nurses serving near the front lines will face a challenging situation, but nothing could have prepared her for the difficulties that await when they arrive at British Base Hospital 12 in Rouen, France. The primitive conditions, a convoluted supply system, and horrific battle wounds are enough to discourage the most hardened nurses, and Julia can do nothing but lead by example.

History interesting, hated the writing
Revisado: 07-21-23
It is clear that significant research went into the writing of the War Nurse. While the history is interesting, the prose is clumsy and amateurish. I was very aware of Tracey Enerson Wood’s attempts to insert facts into her story. Frequent info dumps were didactic and kept the story from flowing. Sometimes Wood becomes repetitive, as if she couldn’t imagine another behavior for her character. Count how many times she describes Stimson’s stomach growling. The result is that I was always aware of the “hand of the writer,” and this kept me from becoming fully engaged in the story. Also unfortunate: Libby McKnight read as if this were a bedtime story. If Julia Stimson had a low voice, as Wood tells us, a reader with a more serious, lower register would have made more sense.

Standing in the trauma room of an emergency department is like standing at ground zero of a nuclear reaction, only it's not radiation that is released - but stories. Stories that are told and retold, sometimes just until the end of the shift, but sometimes for decades.

Philip Allen Green writes directly from the heart. That said, he is an intelligent writer who knows well how to craft a story. I also enjoyed his other book, Trauma Room Two. Not sure why these are in the Plus Library, but thanks for the listens. They’re wonderful.
The narration was good, but I wanted more of a pause between stories. I needed a beat to prepare myself for the next one. This is probably a fault of direction or editing, but I found it jarring.

Superb
Revisado: 06-22-23
Beautifully written and absolutely worth the listen. One reviewer lamented where the book ended wanting the author to give a conclusion. Personally, I loved this. From the start the reader is pulling for the characters. By the end you can imagine they will be okay. That it isn’t all sewn up is like life. You never know what’s going to happen, but you take a chance because if you don’t…

Glad it was free
Revisado: 06-07-23
This could have been a good story had it been written better. It was probably based on the inhumane treatment circuses inflicted on animals and performers, alike, but the story was mostly ridiculous. It would have been so much more interesting had it been more firmly based on historical fact. How many gawking, malicious “rubes” can you have? How many evil ring leaders? How many cliches? The reader’s mispronunciation also frustrated. Additionally, hers was the wrong voice. I think it added to the silliness of the story. Glad it was free.

Historia
Emma London never thought she had anything in common with her grandmother Genevieve London. The regal old woman came from wealthy and bluest-blood New England stock, but that didn't protect her from life's cruelest blows. Genevieve rose from the ashes of grief and built a fashion empire that was respected the world over, even when it meant neglecting her other son. When Emma's own mother died, her father abandoned her on his mother's doorstep. Genevieve took Emma in and reluctantly raised her - until Emma got pregnant her senior year of high school.

Cuts like a blade

It is clear why this novel won the Pulitzer in 1965. It is a razor sharp story of the way racism destroys everything it touches: individuals, families and societies. Read it. It’s excellent.

Beautifully told. Absolutely worth listening to. A very imaginative telling of the massacre of the MacDonald clan by the Campbells at Glen Coe on February 19, 1692. The story is told through the eyes of Corhag, a young healer accused of witchcraft.
