I really wanted to like this.

I really wanted to like this book but found it hard to stand it. I couldn't figure out what irked me but realized that the book itself had an identity crisis. It couldn't figure out if it was a book on the history of the treatment of mental illness, or a memoir, or an opinion piece, or an autobiography, or even a musical album review. What it was, was a self-serving creation seemingly designed to explain why the author's sons turned out the way they did. Complete with musical accompaniment of his son's playing guitar.
I powered through trying to figure out what the author's point would finally be. Every so often there would be a tidbit that was interesting or left me wanting more. I think the other thing that irked me was the reader's voice. It brought to mind what Winnie the Pooh's uncle would sound like. Anyway, I really can't recommend this book by Audible. Perhaps it would be more enjoyable in book form.

Really enjoyed the story and found myself on the edge of my seat a few times and talking back to the book a few times.

Highly Enjoyable

Great love story with a plot twist. I just finished another book that I enjoyed a little more but still enjoyed tremendously and the reading was fantastic.

Loved it!

This book took me through so many changes. It was exciting from the beginning to end. It made me smile, cry, and even bite my lip quite a few times. I kept wanting to know more details, so I could picture more in my head and the story was read. And I didn't want it to end. Other than that, I found it a perfect story.

Enjoyed the story, not so much the reading of it.

Revisado: 01-13-20

The story is super interesting and the characters are all endearing. I did not however, enjoy the reading of it, particularly, the voice of Teddy, the teenage son. It definitely took away from the book. I think the author could have gotten away without giving each character an individual voice and/or the publisher could have gotten away with one performer reading all parts. Otherwise good and I would read more books by this author.

Pretty interesting

Didn't want to stop listening to the story to see how it unfolded. One star off for the way she kept saying "Juaquo says".

Believe the reviews

Revisado: 06-20-18

Narrator was good and so was the book. It just wasn't what I expected. It contains a lot of long, unnecessary? stories, and believe me, I love stories. I guess I was looking for a no nonsense approach to changing bad habits. This is probably a better 'how to" for advertising execs on how to get people hooked on your product. Chock full of research and anecdotes, and 10 hours long, it left me feeling like I should have taken notes. The annex at the end was helpful and summed it up though.
