A true book of reason

Revisado: 01-06-25

I loved the story of Nick and his buddies hiking Glacier National Park and his descriptions just give so much life to this read. What I lived most was his ability to share the human story of the current USA and its politics in a fashion that you’d hope that someone would listen to reason. Hoping that so many Americans would look at what they are destroying. Nick I wish you’d run for office. I feel you’d be another Jimmy Carter. Thank you Nick for your true candor. You are an amazing human being.

Fantastic work by author and narrator

Revisado: 10-17-24

This book was a page turner or in my case stuck in your car and can’t stop the book! Beautiful descriptions of the Catholic cardinal community and the process to elect a pope. Then you throw in a mystery that was so well done. The ending will blow you away! But what really struck me was finding a sense of spiritual renewal. Being a rebellious Catholic and have lost faith in any church, the words of the author stirred that sense of God and goodness within a church. But the mystery just ties it all together and I was so lost into the world of the Conclave. Very well done. Now I can watch the movie.

Food for the soul

Revisado: 07-17-24

I loved this book. It is a fictional story with nonfiction history that grips your soul. But you have to get through the first couple of chapters before it really takes you in. The narrator really had the character of the whiney city entitled sarcastic boy voice down. That was what was distracting. But now that I have completed the story I wouldn’t have changed that first chapters voice. Because that young man changed into a very human being. I learned so much and took those contemplative lessons and want add them into my life.This author created a modern narrative similar to Its a Wonderful Life movie. The author gave us incredible narrative visuals of the Sierras that I felt like I was seeing what the characters were seeing. The book had so many funny moments but more so it stirred the soul contemplating life and choices. I loved the quotes from some of the greatest naturalists the world has ever seen or read about and the real history of this amazing trail. Just read it! You’ll not regret it!

Go hang out with Teddy

Revisado: 03-06-24

Amazing story of Theodore Roosevelt. The narrator was a bit slow sometimes but he gives you an opportunity to digest what was read to you. So much about the true family that I wish we had a Roosevelt in this generation of politicians. He was larger than life and being able to follow along in his life through this book was incredible. You will not be disappointed in this read.

Beautifully written and told

Revisado: 12-06-23

This was a peak into late 1940s. His historic retelling of his journey of Saudi Arabia is amazing. The narrator carries the author’s story so we feel as if we are riding our own camel along long red deserts and mountains in the search for water and food. Learning alongside him of all the different nomadic tribes to become one of them for a short time. This story caused me to research and want me to see for myself the beauty of Arabia.

Every woman should read this

Revisado: 08-27-23

Al the women’s repressed history of the 1950s lies within these pages. It gives us the reason why women have got to remember these repressions and how we can overcome the male egotistical persona that has plagued us for so long.
