My New Addiction

Revisado: 02-23-25

I have become addicted to this series of well-written and well-performed stories, that seem to be excellently researched, relevant to current times (sadly,) yet are as undemanding and “easy” as any “beach or airplane read.” They have become my favorite walking companions and I am downloading them one after the other. It is much like a good TV series that one cannot help but binge watch.

Charles Blow should leave narration to the professionals

Revisado: 07-23-22

I am a regular reader and fan of Charles Blow in the NYT. I greatly enjoy and admire his writing and this includes this memoir which helped me participate in innumerable experiences that I did not have in my own life. I can totally understand that he wanted to read his own memoir; I likely would have felt the same way - it makes sense, if the author is alive and willing. But, I am very sorry to say this, Charles is no actor and the monotonous tone of his voice was annoying and did not do justice to his great writing. I kept wishing that I was reading rather than listening to his story. I hung in there because I found it well-written and interesting. Please, please Mr. Blow, let a professional actor read your next recorded book.

Fantastically enjoyable!

Revisado: 07-23-22

I am so appreciative of Madeline Miller’s ability to make these ancient stories completely accessible and personally relevant to us in the 21st Century. She does this in a literary style that strikes the perfect balance between the poetry and elegance befitting the subject on the one hand, and accessibility and entertainment for those of us afraid of Virginia Wolf on the other. I am not very familiar with erotic literature, but I must say that to the degree that she ventures into that territory in this book, she manages to do this in a remarkably beautiful manner. I have to add that I loved listening to Frazer Douglas’s voice and masterful interpretations of character. I loved every minute of this piece.

Fascinating!

Revisado: 04-15-21

Written in a fluid, accessible story telling style, I found this book to be fascinating, especially for a Californian. It helped me better understand the shifting earth upon which I have lived most of my life. I am thinking, however, that having listened to it, I now want to buy it in hard copy form so that I can re-read the descriptions when I travel to the specific locations described.
