This is a book about violin music

Revisado: 08-03-24

The story itself is very nice, female forward, interesting characters and plot. But the way it was marketed was totally off. It’s barely sci-fi. More like a deeply original story about the beauty of the violin and violin music. Send this to someone you know who loves violins, not sci-fi.

Spooky, gripping, great read

Revisado: 09-28-22

This is a gender-bend of “Misery” with several other fun modern surprises. It’s terrifying because it’s believable. Not for fans who don’t like suspense, but I found myself gripping the steering wheel several times while listening to this one, and this isn’t normally my genre. Narrator is PERFECT.

little science, mostly anecdotes

Revisado: 04-22-19

I really wanted to enjoy this story, and see the science behind intentional thought. mostly the author begins to talk about science experiments, but only follows up on the results of about half of them. the rest of the book, and the majority of the meat, is anecdotes. which is actually pretty disappointing for someone like me, who came to this book looking for legitimate science around the power of human thought

Should be titled "How tech is changing the world"

Revisado: 07-02-18

I almost always finish my books, but couldn't get through this

This presents as an advice book combined with social commentary, but it's neither. Its just an explanation of how the internet has changed our society, more of a history book than anything.

This is interesting, but the tone is very patronizing. I felt I had picked up a "help me" pamphlet designed for people (especially seniors) who had been living under a rock since 2005.

I have no idea who titled this book, but it was a bad choice.

Just not that funny :(

This is more like diary readings, rather than stories. I loved Naked and Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls.

But this?

I realized I was turning it on because it could reliably put me to sleep.

the author's voice is like incense. I couldn't get enough of it. the story was very captivating, a great speak into 17th century Iran. she paints a beautiful picture, allowing you to experience the world with all your senses. I wasn't expecting this to be a historical fiction comma but it's one of the better ones I've read. Highly recommended

Fantastic performer

Revisado: 01-12-16

The narrator does an excellent job of capturing the dark, exotic ennui of Anne Rice's vampires without being cheesy. The plot struggles to get going from time to time as Rice lingers on her vampire's side stories in an almost fan-fic fashion, but it always picks up again. A few quotable nuggets of philosophy are to be found as well. Lovely to listen to!
