Sharing helps

Revisado: 04-28-25

I needed this sweet story about the healing power of gardens. Life is hard and it’s easy to keep other people at arms length to protect our own vulnerabilities. Yet, by sharing in the simple task of tending our physical environment we can learn to accept our differences and help each other in our difficulties. Then life gets a wee bit easier if we can bring a bit of happiness to someone else.

Fascinating

Revisado: 04-24-25

A fascinating retelling of an event with which we think we familiar. It could have happened this way. The multiple authors bring their unique perspectives to the characters; and, the reader is enriched by how their imaginations give new life to an old story.

Excellent Narrator

Revisado: 01-23-25

An intriguing view of developing madness brought on by a lifetime of abuse. The narration makes the story even better.

I tried now you don’t have to. I really tried to listen to this book but just could not force more than several hours. So yourself a favor and skip this one.

Intriguing

Revisado: 08-15-24

The author explores the power of dreams and the shape which they give to our lives. At times scary, hitting close to home, we are shown the development of bad dreams and the sacrifices made in love to protect others. Altogether an intriguing exploration of imagination and life. The author did well with this story.

The Power of Books

Revisado: 08-02-24

This is a charming look at how books can shape our lives. It begins a bit slowly but stick with it. Its power develops with the characters—both those of the literature cited and of the readers. Looking at the ups and downs of life the story encourages the listener in his/her own attempts to pursue balance and joy. A masterful work by the author.

Average with a splash of difference

Revisado: 07-18-24

The author has come up with an interesting story which highlights the beauty and uniqueness of the San Juan Islands of Puget Sound. The characters are likable but the story moves along slowly. The main protagonist is a college student/aspiring reporter whose views and comments on the world are laughably stereotypical reporter. Overall the book is fairly interesting until the very end. Just when I thought the author would end with big real world irony the story turns gag-me-with-a-spoon sappy. Skip the two epilogues.

Tour your emotions

Revisado: 06-06-24

A delightful, aggravating, heart-rending walk through the joys and sorrows of relationships and parenting whether it be with natural born or adopted children. Your emotions will run the gamut as you get to know the characters and their stories. Warning: keep a box of tissue nearby.

Heartbreaking truths

Revisado: 04-28-24

The author knocked this one out of the park! It is true to actual events of the time. This country has come some distance from those days; but still has a long way to go. The author references the words of Jesus that we all need to care for each other. If we did that the world would be vastly different.

Sad story about dull lives

Revisado: 02-03-24

This is a story about people trapped by circumstance and time. Fear of change prevents them from stepping beyond the known. Only the inclusion of Andrew Wyatt relying on their constancy adds a spark of intrigue. Even knowing he will produce one of the world’s most famous paintings doesn’t diminish that angle. The last chapter is worth slogging through the morass to get there.
