Predictable

Revisado: 12-18-23

Characters were not likable even once you got to know them which takes way too long. An endearing yet complex heroine would have made this story much much better.

Hard to put down- a Great Girl Adventure!

Revisado: 12-02-23

I really had low expectations for this book. Dragons, Magic, young adults have been overdone.
I was pleasantly surprised with this book. Storytelling very good. Character development- excellent. Reminded me of Divinci Code with the fast pace. What a fun read!

Sherlock would approve !

Revisado: 01-04-23

I consider myself a Sherlock ala Sir Conan Doyle person so it was a surprise and delight to listen to this Sherlock mystery. Characters were in keeping with the original and the story was sufficiently satisfying.

Self indulgent and

Revisado: 02-12-21

This sounds harsh but the reality is that the author wrote a book about paternity and what it means to her, not anyone else.
The more interesting question would have been- how many are out there (Sperm donor babies) and how are they actually having a different experience than others? I say this because this is the specific cross the author bares. Everyone has a cross. So if this is so different, how?
And furthermore, she never answers the question of inheritance in the legal sense. Do sperm donor babies have claim to their biological fathers estate? A question that goes unanswered but is the elephant in the room after one gets past the authors self indulgent melee of emotions and realizes her blond haired, blue eyed self is not related to her dark featured, Jewish dad. It was a challenge for me to remain engaged and if this wasn’t assigned by my book club, I would have deleted from my Audible library two or three chapters in.
I was, however, pleased that the author finally gets out of her own way halfway through the book. Her son has a different biology than she first thought and he has had health issues. Now that’s important. Yet, he reacts like I did when he first heard the news that plagued his mother’s mind for months. He just wanted to know what kind of hair his grandfather had. A reaction I can get behind.
Lastly, I feel used. This book parades as a significant book by a featured author. It’s really a peek into one persons psychological file and gives someone who lives an examined life already, nothing to little to learn.

Masterful concept of time that I can use today

Revisado: 01-27-16

Where does Time Mastery rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Very high. The author's voice is aptly animated and appropriately dynamic. I can tell she has a sense of humor as well as an excellent rapport with the leaders she studied.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Time Mastery?

The most intriguing part is Step 7 - Build in Rest and Recovery. I never thought of that! If one is to fully deploy the first 6 steps, we will need a well-deserved rest. Nice!

Which scene was your favorite?

The summary in Chapter 10. Nice to have it all tied up neatly in a 2-minute bow!

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

Yes. It's just over 1 hour. About the time I spend in the car daily when I work locally.
