A Revalation

Revisado: 12-07-23

This is a beautiful and necessary book. It brings home the notion that we are more than machines. Allopathic medicine tries to understand us from a biomechanical viewpoint -- but more accurately, we are biospychosocial beings. This comes into play for many at the end of life. This book is especially valuable to health care professionals, be they doctors, nurses, social workers, CNAs aides, etc. It is also beautifully read by the author. It's a true gem!

Mad about Mad Honey

Revisado: 04-19-23

Horace wrote that great art should be a blend of the useful and the sweet (rough translation). Mad Honey is such a work. The story, the narration... the whole project was a gift to the reading world. It will change minds. Like honey, it is sweet and it endures.
Thank you, JP and JFB.

A pleasure to listen to.

Revisado: 04-03-23

This book was a great gift from Audible. It addresses a difficult topic with sensitivity and wisdom. It took a minute or two to get used to the accent of the reader, but after that it was a pleasure to listen to. This is a memorable book that I enthusiastically recommend.

Short and worth listening to

Revisado: 02-27-22

This is a short reading, plus a discussion with the author. Her insights into writing and human nature are brilliant. The reading of an excerpt from the book was not well rehearsed, but that did not detract from the value of this Audible original.

A masterpiece

I have followed Theresa Brown’s work for years. She is an important voice. What a pleasure to listen to this book! It’s wise, it’s deep, it’s beautifully written.

No Ka Oi

Revisado: 06-04-21

This is a well-written captivating story about one misfit haole in Hawaii. Much of it rings true. The insights into adverse childhood experiences were fascinating. The reading was very good except that the narrator mispronounced some Hawaiian and pidgin words. "Hui" came off like "whee" -- but no madda -- can understand anyway -- the reader really gave it his heart. The producer could have found one local to help him with a few terms. Theroux got the surfer culture right. As an outsider, with a love of the aina, perhaps he could present it better than one local braddah; just like Hunter Thompson might have.

A Seamless Melding of Humanism and Science

Revisado: 11-22-20

I loved this book! The characters are alive. Nina (the nurse), Luca (the patient), Joseph (the bone marrow donor) and so many more.
The story has many layers -- from the science of bone marrow transplantation, to complex family relationships in Italy and Brooklyn. The subplots will resonate with me for some time.
I give this the strongest recommendation!
