Terrible!

This book was free, so at least the price was right. A total waste of time.

Loved the Story and Narrator

Revisado: 12-12-21

I could not stop listening to this book! Ignore the reviews by readers who say they didn’t understand it or didn’t like the ending. Just be aware that it is NOT a mystery or thriller. It’s a fascinating look into marriage, generational differences and family relationships. If you go into it with the right expectations, you’ll love it.

Not her best

Revisado: 07-28-21

I usually love anything by Lionel Shriver, but this one is a bit too intent on delivering a message rather than providing entertainment. I actually agree with the viewpoint sh is trying to convey, but I was looking for a good story, not a treatise on end of life decision making.

Brilliant, but Not for Everyone

Revisado: 07-19-19

I’m a Herman Koch fan and I I loved this book, perhaps even more than The Dinner. However, if you don’t want to hear a general practice doctor musing on his duties, including some graphic descriptions of the less than lovely aspects of the human body, don’t buy this book.Similarly, if you have qualms about assisted suicide or European sexual mores. This book isn’t for you. That said, if you’re still curious about this book,buy it!!! It’s Herman Koch at his best.

Seems anti- Semitic at times; poorly narrated

Revisado: 03-21-19

I am a Democrat who would never vote for Trump or do business with the Kushners. Despite this, I was disturbed and at times disgusted by this book’s undisguised anti- Semitism. The author again and again harps on the Kushner’s Jewish religion, when it has nothing to do with their business ethics. Poorly narrated by a British narrator who speaks in a pompous attempt at an upper class British accent and mispronounces American names and Jewish words. Author is a Brit who recently became An American citizen. Many times, she “ quotes “ American sources using expressions which are distinctly British and not generally used by Americans. This makes me wonder if she really even spoke to these “ sources”. Don’t waste your credit on tho book.

A quirky read

Revisado: 11-24-17

This is a great book for those who enjoy a quirky story and veiled social commentary. I enjoyed the story line and the performance. Refreshingly subtle and sardonic, as I’ve come to expect from his author.

A Thought Provoking Read,

Revisado: 07-25-15

Don't miss this important and sometimes frightening look at the power of social media to regulate behavior and opinions. The best book in a long time, and the best work by this author I've read. It will change the way you look at Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media tools.
