Real Struggles And Real Hope

Revisado: 08-17-24

I liked how this book described real struggles women living in this time period would experience while also showing the ways they embraced hope and chances for new lives and new frontiers each in their own ways.

Satisfying, heartwarming, relatable

Revisado: 05-21-22

I loved this story, there were so many relatable moments of emotion and the desire to push forward to a new and better life, to become a new and better version of yourself. Mixed in were wonderful well rounded characters, humorous moments, suspense, and it ended with the romantic speech I always love at the end of a romance book. I enjoyed that while the romance was an aspect of the story it wasn't all of Jenny's story because it made her more well rounded and really most of real life isn't only one aspect. I thought the narrator did a great job trying to convey different characters and the emotions they were using in what they were saying. I'll be keeping an eye out for both the author and the narrator.

Uplifting Story

Revisado: 11-27-21

I really enjoyed this book. The narrator did well with the different voices and with conveying the characters emotions in her reading. The story was very uplifting and the author did a great job weaving a message of faith throughout the book. I found many passages that reminded me of truths about our walk with God and how to surrender our most painful emotions to Him while still being thoroughly entertained by the book's story.

Didn't Enjoy At All

Revisado: 09-05-21

Main character was shallow and pointless. Couldn't even stay awake because I really didn't care about this story.

Film Fan Delight!

Revisado: 02-22-21

I've long been a fan of Alicia Malone's on TCM so was delighted when I found this book on Audible. This book covers the role of women in film since the start of Hollywood through a combination of biographies and essays. The biographies are entertaining and also include the individuals own words on their role and/or the role of women in film. The essays are well researched and thought provoking. Also worth mentioning is that while Alicia writes about well known aspects of women in film and very famous women in Hollywood she brings to light many aspects and women that are not as well known. She also addresses women in every aspect of Hollywood including executives, directors, cinematographers, actresses, etc. I highly recommend this book for film fans, history fans, and everyone who cares about the roles women play in such a vital art form. The narrator also did an excellent job!

Vintage Radio Show

Revisado: 02-18-21

I really enjoy vintage radio shows, from the days when people listened to the radio versus watching TV. This short drama is a vintage radio show. If you like vintage radio, or if you want to experience something from the past, you'd probably enjoy this too.

Great Stories and Great Narrators!

Revisado: 04-19-19

I really enjoyed this book. The short stories and reviews were smart and humorous. I thought all the narrator's did a great job but particularly loved Shirley Booth's acting on the last few stories. I recommend anyone that enjoys intelligent humor and great narration to check this out.

Well Read Monlogue With Surprise Ending

Revisado: 10-16-18

Hooked me as a listener right from the beginning. Definitely conveyed a wide range of emotions. I didn't expect the ending. I would listen to more things by the author or the monologist.
