Remarkable Depth & Breath

Revisado: 02-18-25

Amazing range of genres. Yet on top of his mind boggling talent, Hanks doesn’t allow his genius to give him license to be a jerk. If you weren’t already sure Tom Hanks is brilliant and truly a damn good guy, you will be after reading this.

This story just wasn’t for me. Got half way through & just couldn’t stay with it.

Brilliant Scholarly & Practical

Revisado: 05-30-24

I have long been a free thinking, left leaning Christian woman, with a graduate degree from a Christian liberal arts university. Prior to reading this book, the possibility or thought that Jesus may have had a wife or an intimate relationship with a woman was unthinkable to me. This in spite of knowing that Christ was both man & spirit in every way, He needed nourishment and rest. He felt anger, pain & despair. Yet, somehow I was unable to imagine Jesus as a sexual being.

This book has changed my worldview. I realize now that the dogma that society our society subtly teaches, that if Jesus had an intimate female partner it would have made him less, is now unthinkable.

It seems that only now do we have ears to hear from Mary Magdalene. Finally now, we may be ready to hear her voice. And we may be able to finally recognize that women, as well as men are capable of being fully human and fully worthy of an intimate experience with the spirit of God. Without shame.

Brilliant Story Telling

Revisado: 05-04-24

It’s not a predictable love story. It’s the story of a life…or six. Stories within stories told by the incomparable storyteller Jess Walters.

Honest, smart, remarkable, tragic, and funny. Well written. Noah tells his unimaginable story without self pity.

Couldn’t Get Through

Revisado: 02-15-23

Dull, void of wit or wisdom. Nothing useful. Narrator didn’t help the writing. Don’t bother.

Narrator Spoils Incredible Story

Revisado: 01-14-23

The narrator sounds electronic or robotic. His voice may be useful in some other context, but not here, not as a storyteller. I recommend reading the book, rather than listening until another narrator tells this great story.

Couldn't Keep Listening or Reading

Revisado: 02-26-21

One dimensional good/evil characters, predictable and trite. Got the sense this author had a deadline and submitted something. Bought it in print first-couldn't keep reading for my book club selection of the month. Audible version was no better or worse.

Good Mystery-Terrible Narration. Read Book Instead

Revisado: 06-23-20

Not great literature, but a great summer mystery and storyline. I hesitate to be pointedly critical, but the narrator was a disappointing and puzzling choice with an odd, affected ‘normal’ accent, hard consonants (think Moira on Schitt’s Creek) and a terrible fake southern accent. Couldn’t Audible have found a southern narrator? Voices for all characters were forced with very poorly executed southern accents. The strong main character, Kya, is introduced as a 6 year old with a cloying voice and obvious fake accent. Unbelievably, her voice never matures as she grows into adulthood. The men’s voices sounded old and feeble, regardless of role or age. I gave up listening and read the last half of the book to myself. The Audible version might be good to keep you awake for a 12 hr road trip. But I’d recommend the book instead.

Good Advice

Revisado: 07-20-19

Excellent approach to life and work. For the self employed person in a solo business, and for leaders or members of a family, a team, or a corporation.

Highly recommend the appendix above all.
