Historia
At the age of four, Joshua Miele was blinded and badly burned when a delusional neighbor poured sulfuric acid over his head in a crime that shocked New York. It could have ended his life, but instead, Miele—naturally curious, and a born problem solver—not only recovered, but thrived. Throughout his life, Miele has found increasingly inventive ways to succeed in a world built for the sighted, and to help others to do the same. At first reluctant to even think of himself as blind, he eventually embraced his blindness and became a committed advocate for disability and accessibility

Fascinating story of resilience
Revisado: 04-05-25
This story because it’s 100% true serves as a reminder to all of us that adversity doesn’t have to be a limitation. I absolutely loved how the book was written and learning about Josh‘s life. The worst part about this audiobook was the presentation. I could not focus on anything except for the sharp inhales that the narrator did when reading this book. It’s too bad because the story is fantastic and I believe the person who read it ruined it.

Disappointed in the full story
Revisado: 01-18-25
I liked the characters. I just wish the story would’ve been tied together better. I’m left with so many questions and that is not the type of story I prefer.

Historia
Melody is not like most people. She cannot walk or talk, but she has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom - the very same classmates who dismiss her as mentally challenged because she cannot tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by cerebral palsy.

A must read!

This book should be an essential read for all middle schoolers. In fact, it should be a must read for all ages. We have so much in terms of DEI initiatives but this one hits home and is the reason why!!!!

Great overview of the race to understand CRISPR
Revisado: 08-27-24
I really enjoyed this book as it walked through the history of the discovery of the structure of DNA all the way up to the present time inclusive of how these discoveries had great impact on the fight against the novel coronavirus. I really enjoyed the main presenter. She had a lovely voice to listen to. Pardon, but, the prologue and up was difficult to listen to

Historia
Tim Kennedy has a problem; he only feels alive right before he’s about to die. Kennedy, a Green Beret, decorated Army sniper, and UFC headliner, has tackled a bull with his bare hands, jumped out of airplanes, dove to the depths of the ocean, and traveled the world hunting poachers, human traffickers, and the Taliban. But he’s also the same man who got kicked out of the police department, fire department, and as an EMT, before getting two women pregnant four days apart, and finally, been beaten up by his Special Forces colleagues.

This was an amazing story of never giving up and embracing failure as fuel to continue. I loved the raw and unapologetic stance of Mr. Kennedy. Thank you for writing this book. Thank you for your service and thank you for inspiring the rest of us to get off our asses and do something good!

As a star on the popular TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting, Jill grew up in front of viewers who were fascinated by her family’s way of life. She was the responsible, second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle’s nineteen kids; always with a baby on her hip and happy to wear the modest ankle-length dresses with throat-high necklines.

Beautiful story about faith
Revisado: 10-23-23
I so appreciate this book to give you insight into what was a very public peek into the world of a very large family. What inspired me most about the story is the faith and commitment to their faith that Jill and Derek Dillard display. What I took from this book is their faith, which has driven their whole experience. Thank you for sharing this, because I am inspired by the level of deep commitment to the Lord.

As one of the music world’s most iconic artists and the cofounder of the organizations ONE and (RED), Bono’s career has been written about extensively. But in Surrender, it’s Bono who picks up the pen, writing for the first time about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with. In his unique voice, Bono takes us from his early days growing up in Dublin, including the sudden loss of his mother when he was fourteen, to U2’s unlikely journey to become one of the world’s most influential rock bands, to his more than twenty years of activism.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. I found it gave me a peek into the life and soul of this artist as well as the family he created. This book is so much more than just about the band U2.

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Loved it. I appreciate that Prince Harry took the opportunity to clear the air, but more importantly, clear all the horrific misconceptions the British press has put out there for public consumption.
