enlightened!

Revisado: 07-23-20

to be a conservative in these times, is an amazing challenge...to know your position and its juxtaposed reality to liberalism, leaves one struggling to communicate the strong and very real belief in the full capabilities of the individual human spirit. this author helps to give a clear understanding of the side you, as a conservative stand on. I am a white Hispanic ...having delt with racism myself. an the strong desire to set it aside...this book arguably, helps to define the strength in individuality of the person and to the independent opportunity to the success of his or her individual truth. the author makes very clear the difference between systemic racism and individual racism. he puts in context, through personal antidotal experiences...a life time of realizations that helps the reader to a crystal clear understanding of what we are all suffering through currently. well WELL done!

powerfully on point!

Revisado: 07-16-20

I wish, that at some point, holes could be poked in this very daunting narrative of our country and the truly maddening reality we are now in. all that is presented in this book is spot on and leaves an undeniable reality, that somehow we must find a way to stop what appears a certain march towards a permanent and unreversible future. I have already suggested this read to many friends and some family. this book is a must read!

a narrative that does not fit all.

Revisado: 06-29-20

I am a bi-racial white-Hispanic. in my late 50's and now having lived in new mexico, texas and iowa, I find this book a difficult one to embrace. I imagine there could be a more balanced and less self embracing of thought (the author) than this book presents. simply put...as far as she is concerned "you are racist". she gives the reader almost zero latitude of consciousness. her argument with the reader and just about anyone that has had the misfortune of encountering the thought process is pretty much dammed to be wrong if not of her opinion. my life has been defined by racism from a multitude of races. I have myself been beaten, threatened, not hired, profiled by just about every race and that includes the races I proudly represent...with that I do not believe her to be correct in her position. are some people racist? yes. are all simply because they would align themselves with a particular race...specifically white? no! but! she would and does deny you as a white person anything other then a pure bias. in the end, her position to me ( in my opinion) is her own racial guilt. a white woman with an axe to grind with her own conscience.

inventive and fun

Revisado: 09-05-17

I loved this!!! The characters were well thought out and executed, so that even if the narrator never changed his tone of voice, the authors words carried through. The choice of narrator gave Annie an old soul feel to her that sparked mischief in her character. Thoroughly enjoyed this and all the funny twists and turns.

The relationships, the motivations of the characters, the plot line, it all work together in such a funny way. I found myself laughing every time I turned on this book.

Awesome Series

Revisado: 03-06-17

Loved this series through and through. The characters were well developed, the narrator gave each one an individual personality, the author kept the story twisting in directions that kept defying expectations and the ending felt just right. Can't recommend it enough.

Excellent Listen

Revisado: 09-11-16

I took a chance on this book because I like exploratory mysteries and the characters sounded fun. It was worth every second. Truly enjoyable cast of characters and the narrator does a great job giving each their own voice and personality. Strongly recommend this one.

Excellent sequel

Revisado: 07-26-16

This story is both hilarious and endearing. I've enjoyed both the first and second book and when my next credit comes up, I'm getting the third, without hesitation. Great narration, great writing. Funny and poignant, just all around a great listen.

Hilarious

Revisado: 07-15-16

Over the top and silly. Very enjoyable. Adam Baldwin gave a great voice performance and I'm going to check out the author's other work.

too much reading

Revisado: 06-01-16

I couldn't get into this book. The secondary narrator couldn't even pronounce John Cena's name correctly and unfortunately Daniel Bryan doesn't seem to know how to narrate, way too much monotone reading.
