Fairy Tale Meets Reality - Cute for all ages

Revisado: 11-22-20

This book is a fun listen. Sometimes, the narrator's voice is almost too soothing that she puts you to sleep. However, if you can get past that, the story advocates for adventure and boldness. Imagination, love, and quality of life are also themes throughout. It's a good ol' family bedtime story that'll last you several nights.

Compelling but definitely slanted

Revisado: 10-05-20

This book tells a story of one of many sad addiction plights in America. It helps the reader relate to the struggle, and empathize with the addict and their families. It does push MAT a lot and denounces full abstinence. The argument is that MAT would have saved Tess' life. This may be true, but the narrator fails to distinguish between keeping someone alive and them fully flourishing. There's definitely a motivational bias here, but it is understandable since she bonded so much with the family. Overall, a pretty interesting listen.

False Advertising

Revisado: 09-22-20

She’s a great narrator with good inflection and cadence. I just don’t like her as a person. I wanted more actual southern lady code and less Manhattan socialite lore. I can tell she’s trying to be funny, but it seems disingenuous and self-serving. Overall, I give it a "Meh."

Charming - Peter Pan mixed with Groundhog Day

Revisado: 09-19-20

This story teaches the reader to think of others before themselves. Themes are to be careful what you wish for, and change is nothing to be afraid of. Change is actually good, and we should appreciate it and look forward to it! The voice actors and sound affects are great. It's charming and whimsical. Fun for the whole family.

Total Hater of AA Program

Revisado: 09-07-20

This guy HATES the traditional program. He goes as far as accusing AA of systematically taking advantage of vulnerable women. Nevertheless, if you're someone who wants to get sober without AA, this book could be helpful. He pretty much levels with you and dispels a lot of wives tales. Although I do not agree with his definition of sobriety, I do see that this book could help someone make choices that will lead them in a better direction.

Touching and Relatable Memoir

Revisado: 08-23-20

This is a story about a personal journey, as well as a father's role in his son's life. It is pretty down to earth, even though the characters had more "status" than most middle-americans. It kept me engaged the whole way through.

Playful and Dark

Revisado: 08-23-20

The voice actors are great in the audio book. It's definitely as described. Very tongue-and-cheek-y. If you like dark humor, you'll like this story. Definitely adult themed. Would not listen with your kiddos.

Prescient Story

Revisado: 08-10-20

This story is a timely tale of how we all have the potential to lose ourselves under the premise of an easier, technology-assisted lifestyle. The characters have arcs that demonstrate varying degrees of comfort with technology, change, and privacy. It's easy to follow since there are two distinct voice actors throughout. You'll probably enjoy it. Give it a listen.

A little too long, and makes you hungry!

Revisado: 08-03-20

This book was educational, and tongue-and-cheeky. The narrator's voice was almost too lyrical and soothing. The length of the book in combination with his perfect accent actually tended to put me to sleep. I'd say nearly 50% of the terms were related to food, so I was constantly hungry listening to it. Overall, it was alright. I just wish it was a little shorter and a little more up-beat to keep me engaged.
