Ugh! Syrupy, Sacchrine Soap Opera
Revisado: 01-27-25
This was a romance. I think. I’ve never read one intentionally but must be. Predictable. Clumsily written love scenes. Probably the worst book I’ve listened to in 8 years.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 119
Revolutionary singer, songwriter, producer, bandleader, and funk icon George Clinton travels the rich cosmos of his musical history. As the second most sampled artist in the world (right behind James Brown), Clinton examines his incongruous path from delivering milk to Sarah Vaughan on Avon Avenue in Newark, New Jersey, to embodying funk as we know it—from Motown to the Mothership. Clinton’s experiences as the mastermind behind his bands Parliament and Funkadelic and as the foremost authority on all things funk make for a distinctive, humorous, and thoughtful journey through modern music.

Just wished it were longer. Glad it had some music along with the antidotes. I’m ready for part 2.

A tad saccharine for my taste. The story was extremely predictable but well written. I guess this would be classified as a beach read.

Ooof read like a young adult novel. Fairly strong writing just a flat story with characters right out of central casting

Seventeen-year-old Ivan Isaenko is a life-long resident of the Mazyr Hospital for Gravely Ill Children in Belarus. For the most part, every day is exactly the same for Ivan, which is why he turns everything into a game, manipulating people and events around him for his own amusement. Until Polina arrives. She steals his books. She challenges his routine. The nurses like her. She is exquisite. Soon, he cannot help being drawn to her and the two forge a romance that is tenuous and beautiful and everything they never dared dream of.

In the rugged Pacific Northwest lies the Olympic National Forest - nearly a million acres of impenetrable darkness and impossible beauty. From deep within this old growth forest, a six-year-old girl appears. Speechless and alone, she offers no clue as to her identity, no hint of her past.

Predictable and Pedestrian
Revisado: 10-19-21
I won't elaborate too much but one could not help but know how the book would end. It was a very straight forward story with unremarkable writing and every story line was neatly wrapped up and all the unhappy single people paired off nicely. The narrator's voice was too saccharine for me. All that being said I was on a very long car ride and it worked for me. My mind could wander and I wouldn't miss anything. I guess this falls in the decent beach read category.

I got this book during a 2 for 1 special because of the rave reviews. It was OK but nothing special. Perhaps a Young Adult novel? It doesn't deserve to be panned but it was merely an unoffensive and ultimately forgettable listen.

To hear Ethiopian and Swedish chef, TV personality, and restauranteur Marcus Samuelsson cook with special guests at the Red Rooster restaurant is to make an audio pilgrimage to Harlem. Listeners will get to know the iconic neighborhood, Marcus’ home, through its food, its history, and - most importantly - its people.

This book was an absolutely delicious listen. Just after finishing it I sent a link to it to several of my friends and I will definitely be headed to Harlem to eat. A wonderful blend of culture, history, food, music......all narrated by a man could become a voice artist should he ever get sick of cooking. Thank you Audible!

After years spent in Germany struggling to come to terms with a dispirited and abusive past, Fenia Karapanos has returned to her roots in Greece. Her estranged grandfather has bequeathed her his villa in Athens, a gesture she assumes is reparation for having disowned her late mother. After taking in a grateful Syrian refugee to help her restore the property - and her life - Fenia discovers a collection of love letters hidden under the floorboards, reaching back nearly a century. In each one, Fenia unfolds another piece of her broken family history.

Saccharine Love Story
Revisado: 01-13-20
I went to school in Athens and lived in the same neighborhood as some of the characters so I slogged through this book. The narrator's male voices were just odd. The story line was predictable. The female characters were, actually all the characters were two dimensional. This is definitely a romance and that's not my genre.
