Rather Dull

Revisado: 12-09-24

I found this book boring, and it should be identified as gay literature. Definitely not for me.

Amazing Literature

Revisado: 05-22-23

Comparing this book to David Copperfield is a disservice, not to David Copperfield, but to this book. They may share some vague similarities, but Demon Copperhead stands on its own as monumental literature. Kingsolver is a terrific writer! Listen to this book for the sheer joy of experiencing her prose. Among other things, she writes convincingly from the perspective of a teenage boy. She even talks about some of the, uh, physical nuances of being an adolescent boy. How does she know that? Even better, she writes with a wonderful sense of humor.

Entertaining Homespun Philosophy

Revisado: 05-22-23

Very entertaining! Part memoir, part philosophy, part self help book; this was a very enjoyable listen. Matthew (never Matt) did a superb job with the performance of his own book, as expected, but don't expect any life-changing guidance. He just kind of observes life and tries to make the best of the bad situations when they come around. Greenlight!

An Entertaining True Story

Revisado: 05-22-23

Meticulously accurate story of the viciousness of the sea and the vulnerabilities of those who sail upon it. I really enjoyed this book. Don't be put off by the negative reviews some write about the reader. He did a marvelous job! A masterful performance!

Just Could Not Get Into It

Revisado: 02-27-23

I'm not certain why, but I just could not get into this novel. I guess I found it uninteresting.

Enlightening

Revisado: 02-27-23

I read a lot of books on climate change, and this book added more facts to the increasing volume of data proving the vast human impact on our environment. If you are not convinced that we are endangering ourselves with our casual disregard of scientific warnings, this book provides indisputable evidence that our planet is quickly changing. The narrator was excellent.

Well Written and Entertaining

Revisado: 02-27-23

This was as good or better than the first book in the series. I am a huge fan of these novels, and I can't wait for the next book of the series to be published.

Exciting and Believable

Revisado: 02-27-23

This was a very enjoyable listen. I have read many novels about naval warfare of this era, and I had my doubts about reading about the exploits of a female captain. However, under the skilled pen of this author (Scott W. Cook), the circumstances surrounding the rise of a female captain are quite believable. Furthermore, the author's extensive knowledge of sailing ships of this era lend credibility to this story. The narrator is also superb. I loved this audio novel!

Surprisingly Well Written

Revisado: 01-02-23

McCurdy is gifted not only with her ability to act and remember lines but also with her ability to write. I know nothing about her as an actor, but I really enjoyed this memoir.

An Honest Reflection

Revisado: 12-21-22

Bill Bryson has an amazing ability to see the world and to write about it honestly. I have read many books about hiking the App Trail. Although interesting and realistic, none of them captured the true essence of walking through the woods every day the way Bill Bryson did. He's a real treasure and a great writer.
