Even better than the series

Revisado: 11-29-24

I was first introduced to this book through the series. This is not typical for me. I am a reader, and as such, I am of the school of thought: book first, movie or series second. The story was enthralling—I binged it.

I often saw the book at the new Barnes & Noble near my home. They had it prominently displayed on an endcap. The vivid orange cover seemed to call out to me. The title reminded me how much I thoroughly enjoyed the series. Yet, I put it back, thinking, "I've already watched the series, so I’ve ruined the book." Plus, I’m currently in my non-fiction personal development era.

Over the next several weeks, I longed to escape my non-fiction reading for something far more engaging and entertaining. I kept thinking about this book.

Finally, during Thanksgiving week, as the chef de cuisine of our holiday meal, I decided a book would be far more entertaining than anything else.

My God, it was!

I laughed, got sad, got mad, exclaimed... I went through a gamut of emotions as if I’d never seen the series—as if I were hearing the story for the first time.

Elizabeth Zott and Mad are two characters I connected with deeply—an older and younger version of myself. My struggles, my own failure to fit in. This story reminded me of the necessity of not fitting in, of being different, of being me.

The audiobook, nearly 12 hours long, served as the perfect backdrop for preparing our Thanksgiving meal. The narration was wonderful—more voice acting than mere narration.

This is a book that will now reside on my bookshelf, as I plan to purchase a physical copy as well.

Enjoy!

I really enjoyed looking at sheep AND the shepherd in this book. it's only an hour listen, but packed with many jewels and wisdom. I will listen again and add a copy to my library.

Paradigm shift

Rabi Lapin gave me a whole to perspective on money, how to make it, how to look at my business and so much more. This was an excellent listen. I am definitely adding this to my print library, and I'll be referring it to others as well. The narration was also easy to listen too.

I enjoyed the differing perspectives. Tyrese and Rev Run on the outside seem to be very opposite in their views on relationships. However, as you continue to listen you begin to hear how Rev's mantorship (defined in book) had influenced Tyrese. This book was very raw about some topics, yet that rawness was always balanced. Good read & many good nuggets to chew on. I'd definitely recommend.

Such a great little story. Staged in this current season. COVID-19 and all. I laughed, was shocked, and finished in one sitting.
