story was written based on actual events in histor

Revisado: 03-31-25

I enjoyed this book very much. There were many characters, but they were so well defined. I didn’t get things mixed up. The story is obviously fiction, but it was written around true historical events.

Excellent Narration

Revisado: 02-28-25

I have read several books by this author and enjoyed them very much however, this was my least favorite. For whatever reason, I couldn’t get caught up in the story and to be honest, couldn’t wait to get to the end. I will continue to read the author’s books in the future, this was just not a good one for me.

The story was original

Revisado: 01-19-25

The star rating confused me. 5 stars= I love this book, 4 stars=it’s great. I did love this book, but it is not great however, it is very good so I gave 4 stars anyway. I only give five stars to books such as Memoirs of a geisha.
I thought the story was very original, nothing I had read before like this, with the exception of a girl being in a coma. The characters had very interesting personas; hit man, race car driver, supportive sister, and a compassionate doctor, among some of them. I recommend giving this a listen, the story moves along at a good pace without a lot of blah blah blah.

The narrator destroyed this book

Revisado: 01-01-25

I attempted to return this book after hearing one chapter. Unfortunately, I could not therefore I finished it. Narrator had a monotone voice that did not differ between characters. Therefore, it was difficult to follow the story because I didn’t know who was talking. and I thought it convoluted.

A very original story

Revisado: 12-26-24

What I really liked about this book is that the story/concept was like nothing I had ever heard. Very original. I’m not normally a fan of young adult or make-believe genres, but this really took me by surprise. Kudos to the author and narrator.

I wouldn’t recommend

Revisado: 12-06-24

This is the first time I’ve ever read a book so low in all categories. Maybe it’s just me.
The plot is just inane. A super computer matches people up to be the perfect couples.
So much monotonous, long run, communication regarding databases and super computers and everything that they entail. Lines of code and programming read over and over. It’s like hearing someone reading Social Security numbers back to back 20 times in a row. My ears are bleeding.

Too many characters to keep track of

Revisado: 11-30-24

The reason I gave this three stars is because: three stars is pretty good and four stars means it’s great. This was not a great book, but still kept me interested. A bit over the top with regards to some of the characters, kinda like the life styles of the rich and famous. Somebody knew somebody that always had a private plane, helicopter or boat. Additionally, there was a lot of characters and I got lost trying to remember who was who. I completed the book, found out who the bad guy was in the end and don’t recall who he was within the story.

Couldn't connect

Revisado: 10-11-24

Have never been to Oz, but I still understood the story of the Wizard of Oz. However, in this case I could not, fathom anything about the code breaking work and or machines. However, The story played out well and it was heartbreaking to know that these peoples work could drive them to madness and or lose love because of their commitment to national security.

Good listen

Revisado: 10-04-24

I enjoyed this book very much. It’s a story set in the late 40s/early 50s about several women with unique histories and differences, finding themselves living in a boarding house for various reasons, during the McCarthy /Cold War/ Pillsbury Bake Off era. They all have different perspectives for their lives at this time due to their past and current living situations. The only reason I did not give this five stars is because the writer felt it necessary to quote verbatim, several cooking recipes.
