The Best Friend I Never Had But Always Wanted

Revisado: 05-01-14

What made the experience of listening to Fiction Ruined My Family the most enjoyable?

The narrator/author

What did you like best about this story?

The honesty really hit home for me. The humor was literally perfect. I got it. This book pulled me in in a rare way. I felt Jeanne's disappointments, her pain, her breakthroughs. Some of her decisions actually made my stomach hurt and I wanted to scream "NO!!!" Then I learned the most important lesson....we can't decide for others. We have to respect their choices and remain faithful.

I would be this author's friend in a New York Minute!

What does Jeanne Darst bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Obviously only SHE could imitate herself and her family members with the nuance and quirkiness that existed as she grew into a woman. I don't think her honesty would have reached me as well on the written page.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, both!

A Magical Story Filled With the Essence of Life

Revisado: 08-26-13

What made the experience of listening to The Golem and the Jinni the most enjoyable?

The narrator is a master storyteller, capturing the nuance of each character, each turn in the plot.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Golem and the Jinni?

The moment when I came to know the true relationship of the Golem and the Jinni.

Which character – as performed by George Guidall – was your favorite?

It truly was a toss-up between the Golem and the Jinni! As the story switched between these two amazing characters, each with their own strengths and flaws, I was comfortable moving with them.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. It's a book to be read slowly, I believe, because there is so much to think about and process when you relate the story to true life.

Any additional comments?

You will not regret taking the time to read this fantastically written story!!!

Lots of fun with John Grisham

Revisado: 03-21-13

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to a patient person. The twists and turns are definitely worth waiting for and ultimately, the story is very satisfying. As you can tell, I'm leading up to my only criticism....it takes longer than necessary, in my humble opinion, for Grishom to get where he's going. All of the detail provided at the beginning is a bit condescending, but when it picks up speed, it flies!happy reading

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Racketeer?

The ah-ha moment is very satisfying. I wouldn't dream of giving it away, though

What does J.D. Jackson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Jackson breaths the story into life. You like him. You want him to win. He gives nothing away while his soothing voice beckons you to read on.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Any additional comments?

Enjoy!

Great Romantic Read

Revisado: 01-23-13

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would recommend it! Admittedly, the story starts out slow, but given a chance, this is truly a romantic story with a soul. Also, the history of our nation at the period of Worl War II is always so interesting, but this is my first experience reading about it from the standpoint of the Chinese and the Japanese.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Kayko and Henry were my top favorites, of course, but the intensity of the relationship between Henry and his parents (and then Henry with his own son) was riveting. Henry's friend is my hero in the story; so strong, yet so quiet, he is the quintesential friend.

Have you listened to any of Feodor Chin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I will!

Who was the most memorable character of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and why?

See above note!

This book twists and turns and takes you on a wonderful ride! The characters become like a part of your family...you care for them and about them. You ache with them, then laugh with them. Although it is a serious story with a strong message, it is not too heavy. I was captivated.

Very Heavy Stuff

Revisado: 02-09-11

It is difficult to write a review about this book as I am conflicted about whether to recommend it for other readers or not. While the characters are extremely well-developed, they're dead before you know it! The historical importance of the plight of slaves in the late 1700's to early 1800's is extremely relevant to the reader, but the sadness and hoplessness in this book was overwhelming for me.
