Another Whiny woman that won't tell the truth

Revisado: 10-12-24

It calls itself a "RomCom" but there's no humor, just another woman wringing her hands b/c she can't be guaranteed a life of true love but she creates the angst & drama herself. I'm so over those silly stories!
I only finished it to see if the somewhat intriguing substory would end pleasantly. I was not disappointed that way.
The two narrators did a beautiful job with voices & energies. I sobriety wander back into this style story again. Too aggravating.

Heartwarming

Revisado: 08-21-24

At first all I wanted was to hear from the Octopus. Soon I bonded with Tova & Cameron. The end was perfectly crafted.
Please try this book. I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It left me feeling very happy.

Everyone That Expects To Die Should Read Yhis.

interesting topic explored with humor and storytelling enough to captivate while informing about a subject we often avoid but dearly need to understand.

Beautiful

Revisado: 03-01-24

This book begins with awful descriptions of foot binding but the story is beautiful and filled with many examples of truth in that era of China, difficult as they may be to hear. I grew to love Lady Tan and her story, feeling sad when the story ended.
Lady Tan's work with herbs was very interesting to me as the herbs she references are real and the remedies they are described for are correct. I wish I had her book of herbal remedies!
Jennifer Lim is very talented in bringing several women's & children's voices to the story in a way you can understand the differences in who is speaking. Justin Chien is equally talented..
I will probably listen to this again in the future. Thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to find other books that are similar.

Had to finish it

Im not a horror fan but got caught up in the entertaining storyline. I did my best to ignore the gorriest, horrific scenes because he writes so well.

A Beautiful Story

Revisado: 08-08-22

I didn't think it would be as good as it was. I loved the writing and the narration. I will be looking for more from both Amanda and Nicole.

A Bit Rough But Not Too Horrific

Revisado: 08-03-22

This is not my genre so it's not really fair to criticize.
Storyline good with a few scenes I could have done without. Well written enough that despite wanting to quit after those difficult events I kept on. I enjoy the narrator's style & voice.
End is satisfying. I looked forward to getting back to the story. Good character creation.

Another great Mark Rashid book

Revisado: 07-16-22

Mark's evolution through the books I've read so far is enlightening & thoughtful.
The narration is a bit stilted. I would wish that it was read with some feeling. I enjoy books where I am not continually reminded of the narrator's existence.
This is still definitely worth listening to.
