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.

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.

Long but rewarding look at Rockefeller’s life

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.

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.

A pioneering look at past life regression

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.

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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.
