What a sweet story

Revisado: 02-02-23

I don’t usually like listening to audiobooks that are dramatization’s acted by multiple people, but this book was exactly what I needed to listen to this week! It kept a smile on my face!

Thoroughly, enjoyable, immigrant tale

Revisado: 01-27-23

This was the perfect book to listen to this week. I had a lot to do, and I was feeling sorry for myself until I began the story. What an amazing main character!

One of my favorite books this year

Revisado: 01-08-23

I thoroughly enjoyed this tale. Usually I’m very picky about narrators, but this one was impeccable! By the end of the first chapter, I was fully enamored with molly the maid. Too bad she is a fictional character as I would very much like to be her friend.

Hard to connect to main character

Revisado: 10-10-22

The entire story is written in third person so I found it hard to get to know the main character.

Written like a work of poetry

Revisado: 03-29-22

This book was written from the point of view of a young adult who is constantly scrolling on her phone. The writing is insightful, poetic, and left me laughing and crying. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author. While the story does not have a conflict leading to resolution plot I was amazed that I hung on her every word. (I am not a writer so please excuse this badly written review.)

Good for a summer beach read

Revisado: 03-24-22

A page turner with hiking and camping details I appreciated an outdoor enthusiast. Recommend if you are looking for something engaging but not life-changing.

Stick with it to the end

Revisado: 12-02-21

The first half is mostly character development but if you stay with a story you will be rewarded with some serious laughter and tears! A heartwarming tale.

Hawaiian words butchered but otherwise good

Revisado: 09-23-21

I like listening to Michener’s epic tales. However, I am from Hawaii originally, so hearing the narrator mispronounce Hawaiian words is not only annoying but confusing. I think he's talking about one place when he's actually talking about another. But I did enjoy his deep voice and good narration of the story. If this is ever re-recorded it would be great to have someone who knows how to pronounce the Hawaiian and Japanese words. Someone from Hawaii would be ideal.

Very helpful

Revisado: 08-01-21

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it very helpful. I would have given it more stars but…

Unfortunately the passage about BMI being created by the weight loss industry is not factual and in that way it is misleading to the many people whose weight does impact their health. However, I loved the continuation of that chapter about body positivity.
