Historia
Neal Carey is not your usual private eye. A graduate student at Columbia University, he grew up on the streets of New York, usually on the wrong side of the law. Then he met a P.I. who introduced him to the Bank, an exclusive institution with a sideline in keeping its wealthy clients happy and out of trouble. They pay Neal's college tuition, and Neal gets an education that can't be found in any textbook, from learning how to trail a suspect to mastering the proper way to search a room. Now it's payback time.

Historia
Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass, and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupant—and it does.

Never do I want a fully automated home. Wow!
Revisado: 05-07-17
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
incredible concept. At the beginning, it felt like they were competing for the house, but no the twist unveils. Then it unveils the darkness again. spellbinding. great juxtapositions
In the dark until the end. Not many books keep the ending secret for so long.
Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?
Emma was truly intriguing. How she manipulated and turn the details her way. fabulous voice changes.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
In many moments, I was shocked, upset, calmed, and then shocked, upset and calmed again. fantastic unveiling of the details. very creative and fresh.
Any additional comments?
I actually had to sit in the parking lot at work and was late a couple times because I couldn't stop listening.

I signed up for a math class at my local college
Revisado: 05-07-17
What made the experience of listening to Hidden Figures the most enjoyable?
the speaker brought to life the love of mathematics. Amazed at how many people excelled in physics and math to achieve so many successes. I live near an airport and have a refreshed outlook of what it took to program all the equipment and that the equipment today is so small but does so much.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Hidden Figures?
I loved how gently but in a very focused manner the ladies moved into the man's world.
What does Robin Miles bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
the voice was perfect. the lilt was excellent. Just the right amount of urgency when needed.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not one specific point but many. I felt I was walking the walk.

Alaska I can smell it now
Revisado: 05-07-17
Would you listen to All the Winters After again? Why?
Oh the web we weave when we perceive things differently than our family members. This book hit close to home with my memories vs my sister's memories of our childhood. And how stubborn we are to remember only our individual memories and discount the sibling. fascinating perspectives. Entertaining story, moves well thru the plot. fantastic visualization of an amazing state.
What did you like best about this story?
the details were so well done, that I could see them clearly. The crane dance, the canyon edge, the frustrations but also the hopefulness.
What does George Newbern bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
the strength of the emotions of remembrances of father and son. I cried some, laughed out loud, and was happy to have been return to a joyful state in the ending.
Who was the most memorable character of All the Winters After and why?
the young woman Nadja was fascinating. Living alone for 10 years in a house in the wild. taking care of the house, and growing her knowledge and experiences thru the left behind journals. but also for her matter of fact style in regards to life of animals, food, and sex.
Any additional comments?

Listen to this book everyday for the first 90 days. Heck put it on repeat and go to sleep with it on. It will sink in. Do the steps. They work. This is the original book and has the emotional urgency that it should. I have gifted this book to friends that haven't figured this out. only wish I had gotten it way back in life and my life would be different today. But I am getting there.

Fantastic story, shocking view into life in a communist regime. A few details could have been explained a bit more, but the brutality and the desperation of life is amazing. Well done and very well read.
