Gripping short drama with full closure
Revisado: 04-19-25
This short audio drama is immersive, well-paced, and emotionally satisfying. Perfect for a commute, it held my attention so completely I stayed in the car just to finish it. Despite the brief runtime, the story wraps up cleanly without feeling rushed or incomplete. A compact, impactful listen.

Heralded as an instant classic of fantasy literature, Maguire has written a wonderfully imaginative retelling of The Wizard of Oz told from the Wicked Witch's point of view. More than just a fairy tale for adults, Wicked is a meditation on the nature of good and evil.

A darker, deeper Oz—slower than expected
Revisado: 04-16-25
As a longtime fan of the Broadway show, I was curious to explore the source material—especially since it was available on Audible Plus. While the book offers a far more complex and gritty take on Elphaba’s life, it diverges sharply from the musical’s tone. The early chapters intrigued me with their mature and layered human dynamics, which felt raw and thought-provoking rather than off-putting.
However, the middle portion dragged noticeably, requiring me to increase playback speed just to stay engaged. Though it was interesting to experience the full arc of Elphaba’s life, I was surprised to find it all contained in just this volume. I don’t regret listening, but I wouldn’t recommend it to others expecting something like the show.
One thing I wish I’d known: this single book covers Elphaba’s entire story. I had assumed I’d need to commit to all four in the series, but that’s not necessary—good news if you’re hesitant about a long saga.

Historia
Titan is the first full-length biography based on unrestricted access to Rockefeller’s exceptionally rich trove of papers. A landmark publication full of startling revelations, the book indelibly alters our image of this most enigmatic capitalist. Born the son of a flamboyant, bigamous snake-oil salesman and a pious, straitlaced mother, Rockefeller rose from rustic origins to become the world’s richest man by creating America’s most powerful and feared monopoly, Standard Oil. Branded "the Octopus" by legions of muckrakers, the trust refined and marketed nearly 90 percent of the oil produced in America.

Long but rewarding look at Rockefeller’s life
Revisado: 04-14-25
I picked Titan while exploring biographies and realized how little I knew about John D. Rockefeller. This book delivered an in-depth, well-researched portrait of a man who, despite the distance of time, came across as remarkably principled and generous. While it’s undeniably long and occasionally felt removed from today’s world, I came away with admiration for Rockefeller’s character and legacy. The usual criticisms about his monopoly didn’t resonate with me; instead, I saw someone who lived with purpose and gave back massively. The sections about his son added another layer that made the story even richer.

Historia
An unprecedented look into the personal and creative life of the visionary auteur David Lynch, through his own words and those of his closest colleagues, friends, and family - adapted by David Lynch from the print book especially for this audio program. In this unique hybrid of biography and memoir, David Lynch opens up for the first time about a life lived in pursuit of his singular vision, and the many heartaches and struggles he’s faced to bring his unorthodox projects to fruition.

Interesting man, but the book dragged on
Revisado: 03-25-25
I didn’t know much about David Lynch going in, and while I found parts of his personality relatable, the book itself didn’t hold my attention. The alternating format—biographer’s take followed by Lynch’s commentary—was initially intriguing, but quickly lost impact as his sections turned into disjointed rambling. I sped up the narration (2.5x for the author, 3.5x for Lynch) just to get through it. If you’re already a fan, his quirks might feel charming; otherwise, the repetition and lack of structure make it a tough listen. I wouldn’t recommend it to newcomers.

Historia
As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from the “space between lives”, which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss’ family and his dead son. Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career.

A pioneering look at past life regression
Revisado: 02-28-25
Many Lives, Many Masters offers an intriguing introduction to past life regression through psychiatrist Dr. Brian Weiss’s experiences with a patient whose memories seemed to transcend lifetimes. Listening in 2025, it’s clear he was a pioneer in this field, and it’s interesting to see how later figures like Dolores Cannon built upon similar concepts. While the message is compelling, the interviews can feel repetitive, making faster playback a good option. Still, the book provides a thoughtful reflection on the nature of human experience and the possibility of spiritual continuity.

Insightful but somewhat difficult to get through
Revisado: 02-27-25
Debra Soh presents a well-researched and thought-provoking examination of gender science, challenging common misconceptions from a neuroscientific perspective. While the content is compelling, the audiobook can feel dense at times, making it harder to stay engaged—especially at a normal listening speed. It’s not a politically driven book; rather, it encourages a scientific approach to gender discussions, making it relevant for readers across the ideological spectrum. If you’re juggling multiple books, this one may require extra focus, but it’s worth the effort for those interested in the intersection of science and social discourse.

Everyone is programmed a little differently, and Bill Gates' unique insight led to business triumphs that are now widely known: the twenty-year-old who dropped out of Harvard to start a software company that became an industry giant and changed the way the world works and lives; the billionaire many times over who turned his attention to philanthropic pursuits to address climate change, global health, and U.S. education.

Well-written, engaging, and inspiring biography
Revisado: 02-21-25
“Source Code” is a superbly crafted biography that reflects the same level of excellence found in Microsoft and the Gates Foundation—clearly the result of a top-tier team. While I once hoped Walter Isaacson would write Gates’ biography, this book exceeded my expectations. The narration is strong, though I didn’t love how the actor delivered certain lines as if he were Bill Gates himself, almost like a performance. It’s not bad, just not my preference—speeding up to 1.2x helped. Gates’ extraordinary intellect and drive, even from childhood, make for an inspiring read, and the book is a true page-turner. Highly recommended for anyone interested in technology, philanthropy, or visionary leadership.

Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

A gripping adaptation with a haunting impact
Revisado: 02-02-25
This Audible Original adaptation of 1984 delivers an engaging and immersive experience in just over three hours. The strong narration, featuring Andrew Garfield and Cynthia Erivo, makes Orwell’s dystopian world feel disturbingly real. While the production is excellent and well-paced, the story itself remains deeply unsettling, much like Animal Farm. If you’re hesitant about the full novel, this version provides a powerful yet manageable way to experience the classic. However, be prepared—it lingers in the mind and may leave you with a sense of unease long after it ends.

Historia
BANGKOK, MARCH 2018. The world looked on in horror as millions of innocent lives were snuffed out in a matter of hours. Countless men, women and children slaughtered without mercy, torn apart by a violent mob that attacked without reason, motive or warning. Tom Freeman witnessed the aftermath. He reported on the tragedy and looked into the eyes of the sole survivor, an old friend, and what he saw looking back sent him running home to the United States. Back to safety. Back to a place where the world made sense, and the putrid stink of the dead didn't haunt his nightmares.

Funny, engaging, with a creative zombie twist
Revisado: 01-19-25
The series is an entertaining listen, blending humor with heartfelt moments for an easy and enjoyable experience. While the narrator is competent, the lack of distinct voices for characters may cause slight confusion sometimes. However, this doesn’t detract from the overall charm of the story. The unique twist on the zombie genre keeps things fresh, and the balance of comedic and emotional beats makes it engaging throughout. At times, it felt a bit short, but its brevity also kept it from overstaying its welcome. A solid choice for a light, fun distraction worth a credit.

Read now, before it’s outdated.
Revisado: 01-04-25
After reading Yuval Harari’s three major books (skipping Sapiens due to its focus on the past rather than the future), I approached The Nexus with the context of his evolving perspective. This book feels timely for 2025, offering a grounded but somewhat biased historical foundation for his views on AI and society. Like Homo Deus, it risks feeling outdated within a few years due to the rapid pace of AI development. Expect 80% of the book to explore historical context leading to Harari’s conclusions. While insightful, it’s best read soon, especially if you want a critical counterpoint to more optimistic AI narratives.
