Magical Menopause
Revisado: 07-13-23
This story centers on three women who come into their power as they enter menopause. However these powers are just for fun, they exist for vengeance. To protect other women and girls and to punish those who do or try to harm them.
I picked this up just because I love magical realism, but this really ended up being more of a thriller/mystery with a lot of twists and turns and a huge whodunnit.
If you're a woman parts of this story will frustrate you to no end because you've likely been in similar situations. The revenge piece was satisfying, but there are some pieces I wish had more development.

1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation—also known as Babel. Babel is the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver working—the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars—has made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empire’s quest for colonization.

I started loving tj klune’s books for the hilarity but even the more serious titles like this one are amazing. It’s touching and suspenseful and insightful.

The perfect narrator. Hilarious, raunchy, poignant and enthralling.
The only negative I have to say are the few background noises used here and there were distracting.

Dark, weirdly engaging
Revisado: 05-16-17
If you could sum up Max in three words, what would they be?
Manipulative, Controlling, Enticing
What was one of the most memorable moments of Max?
I can't say without revealing important plot points
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I'm going to think about the plot for a few day. Seeing the darkness even the "regular guy" character has and how the right person could bring that out of him or others could tamp it down was an interesting piece of this story.

Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is 12 hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story. Daniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that.

I loved the story but I really enjoyed the side stories that gave back stories to minor characters. Worth the read.

Tyler walks invisibly through the halls of Grady High School. He doesn't have much interest in changing his popularity status, instead choosing to devote his time to the one place he feels most comfortable: drama club. But all that changes one night at a party that he never intended to go to. And after an incident with Kale Greenwood, the insanely popular baseball player, both boys have to deal with the aftermath, with unexpected results. With Kale leading the way, Tyler might just learn there is more than his quiet, invisible life.

If you could sum up Unexpected in three words, what would they be?
sweet, YA, readable
How did the narrator detract from the book?
It wasn't the narrator himself, but the audio quality was awful. Very echo-y and I swear at one point I heard a flock of birds in the background?

Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. For in this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of Sleepless in Seattle reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter.

Nice light read
Revisado: 10-18-13
Would you listen to Heartburn again? Why?
Yes. It's not a story with great twists and turns. Easily enjoyable.
What other book might you compare Heartburn to and why?
Many chick lit novels.
What about Meryl Streep’s performance did you like?
Her voice and emphasis are amazing.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The moment she realizes she has the means to leave. The lightness and freedom she must've felt was palatable.

Budo is lucky as imaginary friends go. He's been alive for more than five years, which is positively ancient in the world of imaginary friends. But Budo feels his age, and thinks constantly of the day when eight-year-old Max Delaney will stop believing in him. When that happens, Budo will disappear. Max is different from other children. Some people say that he has Asperger's Syndrome, but most just say he's "on the spectrum." None of this matters to Budo, who loves Max and is charged with protecting him from the class bully.

- Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend
- De: Matthew Dicks
- Narrado por: Matthew Brown
The story and the perspective are encompassing
Revisado: 10-18-13
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Not only is the the story of a good one, but telling it from the perspective of an imaginary friend is fresh and insightful into the world of autism spectrum. Even without that interest I can see many people enjoying the story of Boodo and Max.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Oswald. He was initially misunderstood, but his willingness to sacrifice himself for Max and his belief that he would live on because of that made me feel affectionate toward him.
Which scene was your favorite?
When Max escapes and is finally able to make decisions for himself.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Actually I enjoyed taking breaks to digest some what I'd heard during each listening.
