Powerful, Riveting

Revisado: 12-30-22

A powerful, riveting story of addiction, love, success, hope and loss in Appalachia. The narration was perfect. I couldn’t stop listening, as painful as it was to hear at times.

Helpful and Funny

Revisado: 09-18-20

This book is outstanding. The narration is excellent, it makes me laugh out loud, and the information is extremely helpful. Not only is it useful info on how to communicate with your little kids (I have a 4 yr old, 2 yr old, & 3 month old), but communication in general. In particular, how to deal with my bigger kids as they figure out how to deal with each other.. between trouble with sharing, hitting/kicking & arguing. Great advice & guidance on how to keep my cool while also, hopefully, getting better behaviors in the long run. Sending a huge thank you to the authors!!

An insightful and original storyline. Tan brilliantly weaves together historical non-fiction, Chinese superstitions, and contemporary life- from China to America. The narration is outstanding, the plot intriguing, and the characters complex and interesting. Highly recommend!

Unique Story, Chinese Folklore

Revisado: 09-17-18

A refreshing read. The story is a unique and largely unpredictable drama, with a backbone of Chinese folklore and history. The narration is excellent, but sounds like it’s on fast forward. I found .75 speed to be far more enjoyable. I think somewhere between 1x and .75x would be perfect.

Excellent Narrator, Interesting Story

Revisado: 08-17-18

Imperial drama. If you like this genre, well worth a listen. Some parts are a bit predictable- the foreshadowing can be a little obvious, but plenty of surprises as well. Overall, an interesting listen with a very engaging narrator.

Interesting & Historical Fantasy

Revisado: 08-12-17

I loved listening to this book for its historical, engaging narrative & excellent narrator. The plot was heartbreaking at times, and at other times a little too good to be true. Regardless of the occasionally fantasy-like high points, I found the plot interesting and even inspiring. I have lived in China & love Pu'er tea, but I knew nothing of its context. So enlightening!

Excellent Narrator, Interesting Novel

Revisado: 07-13-17

An often sad, but very intriguing work of historical fiction. Chen does an excellent job of sharing her characters' deepest thoughts while weaving an engaging narrative. The narration is outstanding.

Great Narration, Fairly Cheesy Detective Novel

Revisado: 01-02-17

The narration is excellent. The plot is fairly predictable, but could be worth a listen if you're looking to pass the time. Some violent imagery. It's a True Detective style story except a little cheesy.
