I Had To Evacuate

Revisado: 08-18-23

The plot, the dialogue, the characters, and the performances, grated me so badly I had to give up a little more than halfway through and wipe this from my library.

Sometimes we need something simple and mind numbing but this wasn’t it for me. Will it make a good film, since it’s going into production? Yes, but please flesh out these characters and have them speak and interact with each other to not cause viewers to roll their eyes.

Worst, most overhyped book of the year for me.

Simplistic With No Action

Revisado: 03-11-23

Anytime a book is compared to The Secret History the use of that ‘buzz title’ will raise interest. And most times, if not all, the new offering won’t live up to the comparison. I need to learn my lesson.

The Resemblance in no way comes near. I was so unimpressed with this novel I stopped listening 45 minutes before the conclusion. I just didn’t care.

There’s no action, not one character to pull for, and the imagery created in your mind from the words spoken is simplistic at best.

Hard pass.

Great Suspense & Superb Performance

Revisado: 08-08-22

Not only did this story keep moving at a Gallup, the performance of Mela Lee kept me enthralled. One of the best narration performances I’ve heard.

Spectacular

Revisado: 07-19-21

This is one of the most honest and heartfelt memoirs I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. I’ve always been a fan of Sinead O’Connor and her story, memories and explanations give vast background to not only her songs but her life experiences as well. Sinead also clears up rumors and the horrible press coverage that always follows.

There is a tremendous amount of sadness in Sinead’s voice, especially when speaking about her mother, who any fan knows has been a huge part of her tumult. But through all the sadness is a realization that Sinead did everything the way she wanted.

In addition to the sadness, there is a quick and insightful wit that Sinead reveals and I’d love to sit with her for hours and have a laugh.

If You’re A Fan

Revisado: 06-07-21

Or should I say if you admit to being a housewives fan. And if you’re not, you’re a liar. Brian’s exuberance and show knowledge made this seem like a great brunch where we had the best discussion. The one where you text your friends afterwards, a few times and over the course of a few days, how fun it was. A nice reprieve from the news of the world.

As Needed For Sleep

Revisado: 02-15-20

I couldn’t even finish this bloated, self serving and uninteresting memoir. It’s no wonder Details will be remembered for its great design and writing because this unapologetic pos had nothing to do with it. The narrator? Just like Dan Peres skipped work, they must have skipped auditions.
