Meh

Not a lot of info in 17 min. What’s there is OK, but…
Should’ve known.

Fun experiences. Probably better in print.

Revisado: 06-08-22

I had some fun experiences after listening to this. Content is good.
Probably better in print, though. Choquette is quite good on video, but her reading is slow and stilted, more like she’s reading a children’s bedtime story than anything. Rather distracting.
Things are also a little off kilter, not beginning where they should.

Zen for sports fans

Revisado: 05-21-22

Entire concept (and a good one) is laid out in the first couple of chapters, elaborated in the next couple. His application of this game plan for life to his bout of “the C word”, for example, is quite useful.

After that, the book is an extended recognition of the people who helped him with “the C word”. On the whole, the book gets a bit tedious.

I’ve listened twice — so far.

Revisado: 09-07-21

Compelling. One of my favorites. I’m a SCUBA diver, but I’ve never been lucky enough to see an octopus. My son has. He waited with complete calm and was rewarded when it came out to check him out. He with It played with it — it played with him! for quite some time.

I learned SO much from this book. It was a joy to listen to. Couldn’t stop, until there was no more. THAT made me sad. Can’t wait to go to the Seattle Aquarium!

Dreadful. Monotonous drone.

Revisado: 04-02-20

Like listening to a class outline.
Worse, still, the “performance”. Most anatomy terms mispronounced. You’d think, given that this subject is anatomy, that the narrator would have taken the trouble to find out how these words were pronounced.
Monotonous drone.

Hoped to find diagrams and anatomy “maps” in the Kindle version. Nope. It is, in fact, an outline.

Fascinating story.

Here’s to the emergence of stories of the very significant roles women have played in history.

Good book. Distracting performance.

Revisado: 04-14-19

The reader seems to have a pretty good German accent, so I don’t understand why he populated an entire German village with Yorkshireman. One German character speaks with a proper English accent. In fact, there’s not a single English character in the story. It’s one thing for the narrator to have an English accent, but German characters? Then, 9 hours in, a group of refugees arrive from Eger (now in Hungary). Scots, every one. Really? Not a German-speaking German in the whole thing.
Annoying and distracting from the story.
The story, itself, is intresteding, if difficult to pay attention to, because of the narration.

Disappointing

Revisado: 03-29-18

I looked forward to a great listening experience, focused on spirituality. Unfortunately, spirituality takes a back seat. Quinn's life story is somewhat interesting, but the number of names dropped became offputting. With the exception of John Tower, whose name is vital to the event, the book would have been better/stronger and shorter without most of the names. We all know she has known high-profile people.

Dreck

Revisado: 02-24-16

Awkward, self-conscious, cumbersome misuse of the English language. Repetitive. Tedious. Never using one simple, straight-forward word, when a more contrived one would do -- often not even the right word.

The story little more than a flimsy vehicle for exceedingly graphic, overly long sex scenes.

Even richer than the wonderful PBS series

Revisado: 02-17-16

Background stories on many of the characters you think you know from the PBS series. Adds so much depth.

Beautifully read. Heading into #3 now.
