Delightful dialogue

Revisado: 07-01-23

Loved the story and the dialogue. The reader did an excellent job with voices for the various characters. Very, very clever and humorous, especially if you know your fairy tales.

The did an excellent job bringing the story to life. I enjoyed the character development and also learning a bit about the history of and effects of corporate hog farms.

A keeper

Revisado: 02-04-23

This book will stay with me, and I may even re-read it, so I rarely reread any books I read. It is full of thoughtful things. Situations and relationships that make you think about yourself and your life and your choices. It is a “feel good” book. I particularly enjoyed the reader. She did a grand job. I can’t recommend this book highly enough 10 out of 10!

Thank you, Sue!

Revisado: 01-10-23

After reading, Sue Black’s first book, All That Remains (which I loved BTW), my only reservation was that she didn’t read it herself. This book she *does* read herself (hurrah!) and again it is so intriguing so fascinating so full of information I could hardly put it down. Bravo and best wishes to the author.

Bill does it best

Revisado: 12-14-22

I have loved every single book that Bill Bryson has done. But I love most of all the ones that he has read himself. This book delights and amuses. Merry Christmas, Bill, and happy New Year!

Best I’ve read on the subject

Revisado: 11-26-22

I have enjoyed many books and authors that write about forensics, murder and death. I truly loved this one. This one takes a different angle focusing on individuals that work in the death and death management industry. It was fascinating to hear about their roles and how they cope, or don’t, after long exposure to pain, suffering and loss. I chose this book to learn more about dying and the ways we dispose of bodies. And I did learn a lot. Like the Kenyon company. Who knew there is a huge international company that can be brought in to coordinate every aspect imaginable following a disaster? Not me. But by the end I came away with a sincere appreciation for the “death angels” who help the rest of us. Lastly, that epilogue, wow.

One last bit of praise for this book. It is read by the author and she did a wonderful job.

Epilogue worth reading

Revisado: 10-30-22

Sue’s final thoughts on her own death wishes resonated with me. Her wishes for a non-medical ending match my own but my family is hard to convince. Only time will tell and I won’t be around to know.

My thoughts about the reader mirror those others have already voiced. I do wish the author had read it herself as it was so entirely her story.

Loved it!!

Revisado: 12-09-19

Lindsey shares her insightful life lessons learned as she tells of her adventures traveling in her 20’s and 30’s and pivotal points in her life so far. That was my favorite part. The story itself flows smoothly with humor and grace. I laughed and cried and thought, “I want to be strong and adventurous and brave when I grow up, too” Only, it’s too late for that.

It was hard to turnoff! I listen to Audible on my short drive to and from work. I found myself grabbing headphones at home to finish each chapter. She is the perfect narrator for her book. Loved the sound of her voice and pace of delivery... smooth, calm, and kind.

It will be my honor and pleasure to meet Lindsey and her family in May 2020. I’m traveling to Scotland with her friend, Amy, mentioned the book.

Kept my interest.

Revisado: 11-14-19

It is pleasing to me that our monthly freebies are including diverse populations. I’ve enjoyed all of them so far. This story was raw and there is cursing. None of that bothered me.

Alaska is a place apart in more ways than one. Weaving native culture throughout the drama, both the good and the bad, really endeared this one to me.

Neil reading Neil LOVE THIS

Revisado: 09-25-19

The adult fairytale caught me up from the start. Neil is the only one to read his works! Loved the sweetness and magic of it and the ”feel good” ending. Big sigh at the ending that was just how a fairytale should end.
