Narration is too awful to finish

Revisado: 08-19-24

I’m not sure why this book didn’t go through the normal audio quality control process before being released but it was horrendous to listen to. Lots of verbal misses, mispronunciations, pauses, and corrections that made the audiobook difficult to immerse myself in. The premise of the book is great. The delivery stinks. I wish I could get a refund.

Interesting in parts, boring in parts

Revisado: 06-05-23

This book was recommended to me because I’m a florist. It was fascinating in some realms, but in others, especially ones talking about the history of trials and the landscape of Florida felt drawn-out and dull. I was sold a nonfiction book that “read more like a novel”, but it definitely read as nonfiction.

Lovely stories; poor audio mixing

Revisado: 09-23-22

As a queer person, I was really excited to get my hands (ears?) on this book. I loved the structure of it and the different perspectives/religions covered by its authors. It took me several months to listen to, however, because I could not get used to the audio quality. Some chapters are loud and clear and others are mixed in such a way where the speaker’s voice sounds fuzzy and you can literally hear pages turning in the background. The chapter breakup was strange too, as an intro to the following chapter would be tacked onto the end of a previous chapter.

Content-wise, beautiful. Performance-wise, could use some audio engineering.

A stunning and salivating tour of love, death, and Italy

Revisado: 02-14-21

What a joy to listen to this book. I know I would’ve lost so much by simply reading the print copy. I received so much emotion from Tembi’s voice and her flawless transitions from English to Italian were divine. This is more than a book about life after loss—it’s a book about what it mean to be loved, nourished, held, and home.

A little repetitive, but continuously inspiring

Revisado: 01-04-20

I really enjoyed this book and the way Simon Sinek took something as big as infinity and broke it down into digestible little pieces. Most examples were business-related which was wonderful for me as an entrepreneur but I was disappointed that most of the characters—both with finite and infinite mindsets—were male. Would love to see further exploration of finite and infinite mindsets across gender and culture.

Helpful, kind, and thorough.

You can tell Kristen is a pro. I’m a podcaster of over two years and I can’t believe how much I learned from this book!! Stick around for the audio bonuses at the end.
