Already an international sensation and prize-winning best seller in France, an evocative coming-of-age story of a young boy, a lost childhood, and a shattered homeland. Burundi, 1992. For 10-year-old Gabriel, life in his comfortable expatriate neighborhood of Bujumbura with his French father, Rwandan mother and little sister Ana, is something close to paradise. These are carefree days of laughter and adventure - sneaking Supermatch cigarettes and gorging on stolen mangoes - as he and his mischievous gang of friends transform their tiny cul-de-sac into their kingdom.

Hardly anything about the genocide
Revisado: 07-06-21
I adopted a child from Burundi and have since found out that the genocide wasn’t just in Rwanda so I wanted to learn more about Burundi’s history. This book had almost zero mention of it. It didn’t have anything about Burundi, really, it was only about the author’s childhood and could have taken place in any country given the lack of anything really having to do with Burundi. No history, no geography/seasons, no culture, no anything having to do with Burundi. This was what you would expect from a celebrity’s biography and if the author had been a celebrity it would have been interesting. Needless to say, I recommend you save your money/credits.

In this searing memoir of survival in the spirit of Stolen Innocence, the daughter of Warren Jeffs, the self-proclaimed Prophet of the FLDS Church, takes you deep inside the secretive polygamist Mormon fundamentalist cult run by her family and how she escaped it. Born into the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Rachel Jeffs was raised in a strict patriarchal culture defined by subordinate sister wives and men they must obey.

Just ok
Revisado: 01-04-18
I wouldn’t recommend this book. The first hour and a half was only about the sexual abuse she experienced at the hands of her father. Massive overkill using sometimes unnecessarily graphic language.
I feel terrible about what this young lady went through and hope she stays happy in her new life. That being said, she should not pursue a future in narrating books. She sounds like a 10 year old girl with a cold. Words like “doing” sound like “dew ink”. It was very distracting.

Four months after the explosion at the Garden, a place where young women known as the Butterflies were kept captive, FBI agents Brandon Eddison, Victor Hanoverian, and Mercedes Ramirez are still entrenched in the aftermath, helping survivors in the process of adjusting to life on the outside. With winter coming to an end, the Butterflies have longer, warmer days of healing ahead.

Poor narration ruined it
Revisado: 11-29-17
Was very much looking forward to this book as I quite enjoyed The Butterfly Garden. This story might not have been that bad, but I was so distracted by the horrible narration I couldn’t tell. The man sounded like he was actively trying to put people to sleep and the woman’s voice was a perfect mixture of air-headed valley girl and attempting to keep as much air in her mouth as possible while she talked. The voices and accents they did were horrible and they didn’t even try to match their versions of the same person’s accent. Most of the men’s voices the woman did sounded like female phone sex operators. Will definitely not buy the third book of this trilogy if either one of them are the narrators.

Snow blankets the avenues of Manhattan's exclusive Upper West Side. The storm is the perfect cover for a fashionable, highly trained team of lethal assassins as they prowl the streets, hunting their prey. But their first hit is simply target practice. Their next mission may very well turn the Cold War red hot once again.

Narrator distracting
Revisado: 08-09-17
I'm a huge fan of James Patterson but every time he uses this narrator I get irritated. His voice is so monotone I find my thoughts drifting and constantly have to rewind to figure out what's going on.
