In Time Everyone Pays!

Revisado: 10-16-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This audiobook, by Mike Murphy, is a captivating and immersive journey deep into the heart of 1960s Seclusion, Texas, where we are introduced to Lizzie Fox, a strong and courageous woman who's had her share of pain, suffering and mistreatment, and who does not accept injustice and keeps fighting to find the truth and bring justice - stating: " Every wrong should have a price to pay!"
It also offers a gripping blend of historical details, emotional depth, and suspense, with a story full of dark secrets and the fight to expose corruption and this is a standout element that the author explores. In Seclusion, no one is untouched by the darkness creeping beneath the surface, and the storyline reveals just how deep that corruption runs across the border into Mexico involving political and religious figures.
What makes this story even more engrossing is the forbidden romance—an element that’s as thrilling as it is heartbreaking.
Narration, by Laura Horowitz, was good in general, with a clear tone and a good pace. My only critique is that, the narration was at times annoying when she changes to men voices - it would sound like all of those men characters are drunk or suffering to speak.
Highly recommended!

Baseball Humor takes you into the world of Baseball players around 100 years ago: their dreams and aspirations, battles, rivalries, hardships, romance and fans including their personal and professional lives. This audiobook is a collection of several short stories where each story brings to the listener something special in itself.
Ward Paxton is the author and narrator of this audiobook.
I have to say that Ward has done a great job narrating this book and making this an enjoyable experience.
Ward's narration is so compelling, he let's you get immersed in the characters and the stories as if you were there in the time and place. This was consistent from beginning to end. His voice is very clear making easy to follow.
Even if you are not a fan of baseball, this audiobook is for everyone, as it is easy to understand and fun to listen to.
It was enjoyable!

When Life Gives You Hot flashes, Make Margaritas!

What a funny way to start the book!
I was really interested in this audiobook especially being in my perimenopause stage and thinking a lot about all the possible menopause symptoms and changes that I might face including potential weight gain. I appreciate that the author referenced the sources that she has used while compiling the information, but at times it was annoying especially for an audiobook. I believe it is the best way to be objective and professional however, for an audiobook, it was annoying.
Melli Achna, the narrator, has a clean and an appropriate voice for the book genre/topic, however, I was disappointed with the pronunciation of some fo the medical terms which were mispronounced. Coming from a medical background it was easy for my antennas to track those words. For example the word: Atherosclerosis (mentioned in Chapter 5) and the word Triiodothyronine T3 (mentioned in Chapter 6) were mispronounced.
This was a disappointment for me.

Tale of Love, Duty and Cosmic Conflict

Revisado: 05-13-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The Love of the Tayamni is an enthralling journey that harmoniously blends elements of science fiction, romance, and adventure under the same setup. Set against the backdrop of 1962 Tupelo, Mississippi, the story follows Batresh, a young Tayamni woman, on a mission of cosmic significance. Tasked with saving the life of a little boy destined to play a pivotal role in humanity's future, Batresh finds herself thrust into a world of intrigue, danger and love.
The author has put effort in involving richly textured and complex characters which was at some times challenging to follow up with.
The narrator's performance elevates "The Love of the Tayamni" to new heights, transforming the story into a truly immersive experience. His skillful delivery and nuanced interpretation make him a great asset to the audiobook format, however, the pace was too slow. A better narration pace would have been the best thing.

A Gritty Detective

Revisado: 02-29-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The opening scene, characterized by relentless violence and unfiltered dialogue, was undeniably intense. The use of ethnic slurs and baiting by the veteran detective, Wade, was jarring, to say the least. The initial impression left me questioning if this was a ride I really wanted to take.
Setting aside the initial impression, the investigation and portrayal of police work were commendable. The storyline, once you are through with the initial turbulence, proved to be engaging and thought-provoking. The attention to detail in depicting the intricacies of a detective's life were noteworthy. I was impressed with the character of detective Kit Hanover.
While the storyline and police procedural aspects managed to reclaim interest, the narration remained a consistent stumbling block. The potential for a gripping crime thriller was hindered by the failure to translate the raw intensity of the plot with its different characters, into an engaging audio experience.

It's about recognizing opportunities that will help shape your career and eventually create your own success story.
Emmy Sobieski's book teaches a lot of lessons through her story and her experiences. It is amazing how much you learn from this book.
She even focuses on HEALTH and the importance of exercising and keeping a healthy and sane mind and body.
Highly recommended!
