The book always has more story than the movie

Revisado: 07-21-19

This classic story of The Wizard of Oz is one I enjoyed often in movie form as a child. It was one of the favorite stores of my grandmother on my mom's side. However, there's much more to the characters in the book.
Spoilers: We never hear about the lion fighting the huge spider, or how each of Dorothy's comrades ends up ruling their own country. The movie doesn't even mention the China porcelain people or the other beasts at the Wicked Witch of the West's disposal. Note about the performance: I enjoyed hearing this as an audio book. Anne Hathaway had fun voices for each character. A couple times she did the wrong voice for the character. She used the Lion's voice for the scarecrow at the end of one of the chapters in the middle. It threw me off a bit, but that was not often. Overall she did a great job. I like that actors are getting into reading audio books and performing in a completely new medium.

I'm amazed!

Revisado: 07-01-19

I could only comprehend and internalize a portion of the intense wisdom presented by the Dali Lama. I am absolutely amazed. This book gives me so much hope that compassion can exist in the modern material world I love in. I want to study this and read it over and over. So grateful for how this helped my agnostic husband and I (Christian) to connect and understand each other better.

Should make a sequel.

Revisado: 02-27-19

I want to give jack black a high five for this. It feels like an amazing roleplay perspective of someone playing minecraft and getting into the game over time, while making some subtle jokes about the player. Max Brooks brings in a great survival mindset and lessons as well.

I am so grateful for this guide

Revisado: 02-20-19

I have always been interested in organization, but seemed to have to confront it daily. Also, I have lived with very messy people who pile things and leave them about the house. Because I was the one who wanted them organized and put away, I am often the one asked where to find a specific object. While listening to the audio book, my husband started to hear the lessons too and is fully on board with us going through the KonMarie tidying up method. I'm excited for the order and peace that I have already started to feel from simply her folding style.

What an eye opening look into family

Revisado: 12-25-18

What family means is now not so narrowly defined. There are so many possible paths, some taken by choice, others arrived at by circumstance. I am grateful that my choice is accepted in society. I don't have to feel secretive about my way of life or worry about my legal rights to my spouse and child. This story has given me greater insight into the lives of others who look very different from mine, but share the same goal of love in life.
