Let Me

Revisado: 04-25-25

Let yourself be because Mel, your friend and mentor, understands what you're going through and has some suggestions about how to make it. It's uncanny how personable the writer and narrator is, enough to elevate a simple concept to a mantra.

A scintillating tale of modern India narrated in an immersive way. Time flies when you're listening to it.

Fortune favours the bold

Revisado: 04-12-25

An eye-opening account of a woman that never gave up, and lived many lives thanks to her attitude. Raw, insightful and full of suspense, without stooping to melodrama or preaching.

Great attitude, poor delivery

Revisado: 11-25-24

This is not a history book, in that it doesn't cover the range of English rulers and actually gets some historical facts wrong.

This is the outpouring of a man's love about history and his sincere interest in delving into what had shaped his present British reality. That is the most interesting part of the whole book. The author's perception of past and present, which is given in a highly evocative way.

However, his take on things is simply that. A man's take on things. How highly you think of the book depends on what you think of the man. And if you have no opinion on the man, then the book serves more as an opinion you'd hear at a social gathering, entertain it for a bit, then let it go.

The fox and the baby

Revisado: 10-29-24

I read this book without knowing that the events were inspired by a true story, that Martha and her husband existed. Now that I do know, the whole narrative becomes much clearer. This is a straightforward narration of a crime, the crime that begot it, and the society within they took place. It transports you to a different time, and makes you wonder how different it really was. A good read.

You'll won't be able to stop listening!

Intricate science meets deep affection. An amazing achievement by both the author and the brilliant team that brought the story to audiobook life.

Beautifully crafted

Revisado: 09-10-24

This book is polished to the T. Each character has a well developed backstory, anchored in real-life events. Everything is weaved, so that it pays off in the end. And there is a murder or two with a big twist. So what's the problem? It lacks inspiration, the story is too structured, the dialogue is too perfect, everything is too thought-out. It's a lovely read that transports your mind, but not your soul.

Read My Body is Not an Apology instead

I felt that the author wanted to vent more than she wanted to help.

A thoroughly satisfying read

Revisado: 07-27-24

Are you ready to be transported by magical realism? Descriptions cannot do justice to the floating feeling with which this novel leaves you.
Here's the only downside: timelines are too jumbled, so it can be difficult to follow what is really happening in the beginning. Keep with it! It pays off in the end.
The narrator does an excellent job immersing us in a world where history, magic, danger and love dance around.

Grrreat story, even better movie

Revisado: 06-24-24

This is a classic book that spun a classic film. In a rare turn of events, the book manages to pack way more suspense and action than the film, but the film portrays the characters in a much more interesting light. This is especially true for the women and girls, who, in the book, are relegated to the sidelines, as nagging wallflowers. All in all, a breeze-through read!
