Pure Poetry

Revisado: 07-25-22

Eddie Vedder writes, speaks and sings as a poet. His stories are engrossing, and his voice is a soothing balm. Beautiful thoughts from a talented man.

Timely and interesting

Revisado: 04-27-21

Interesting, timely and thought provoking explanation of gene editing, and, specifically, how women have lead the charge. If you think the Covid vaccine was “made too fast”, then take the time to listen to this audiobook which explains the time span (years), multitude of institutes and diversity of people who collaborated in order to battle the coronavirus and save human lives.
The book is clearly narrated and the speaker has a pleasant voice and cadence.

Honest and witty

Revisado: 08-28-20

I love Kristen Johnston as an actor, and now I love her even more for having the “guts” to tell her truth. With honesty and wit, she tells her story about drug and alcohol addiction, and how she survived her self-destructive ways.

Listening to her distinctive voice and delivery only makes the memoir more riveting.

Baseball time capsule

Revisado: 04-25-20

Even if you only have the vaguest interest in baseball, you’ll enjoy this time capsule of baseball history. Interesting tidbits about DiMaggio and Williams. Now I’m interested in learning more about Ted William and his involvement in civil rights.

As a bonus, it’s narrated by Nick Jonas!

A loving tribute to his mom

Revisado: 04-18-20

There is the life that you are born into, and the life you choose for yourself; which is exactly what McBride’s mother did. This is a loving tribute to his mom, dad, stepdad & siblings. The stories are told in 2 voices, McBride’s and his mother’s; they are brilliantly crafted and composed. I didn’t want the book to end.

Looking forward to a follow up

Revisado: 11-03-19

I enjoyed the well crafted writing of this story from start to finish. Just as the plot and the characters were becoming too sweet & vanilla; an unsavory and compromising decision is made. That decision and the surprise ending will change everything in the future. I look forward to the next installment.

Disappointingly dull

Revisado: 10-29-19

I was expecting a lot & was disappointed even more. The story starts out interestingly enough, but quickly nosedives into a word salad of inane conversations and situations between unlikable, boring characters. The plot is a steady slog of pointlessness—what did her dad and missing mom have to do with anything? Just as dull is the narrator who sometimes gives the main character a Boston accent (probably not a good one either), and other times not. Same with the N.Y. city characters and their accents—on & off. I increased the listening speed to 1.5 and skipped minutes at a time just to get through this novel.

Enlightening

Revisado: 08-15-19

Enlightening account of suffrage, as well as, the beliefs of the anti-suffragettes. The right for women to vote, to be treated as individual citizens and not the property of a man, was only achieved through DECADES of perseverance and hard work by suffragettes. Everyone should know their stories and the hardships they endured.

Fascinating & disturbing true story

Revisado: 04-06-19

This is a true story that centers around a reprehensible male writer & a talented female sculptor in NYC during the Harlem Renaissance. Joe Gould’s behavior is disturbing, but somehow he ekes out a living in the literary world. Meanwhile, Augusta Savage has to fight for every opportunity in the art world while being stalked & harassed by him. He is protected by friends & the law; being an African American woman, she is not, and therefore, has no recourse.

The author’s lively reading makes the book come alive. It is a fascinating story about mental health, sexual harassment & race issues from the 1920’s to 1960’s.
