Stephen Fry's narration draws one in and holds you with fascination making nights short and fearless.

Just the right touch of bawdiness with early 20th century discretion. I have gotten used to the narrator, who uses the same raspy high voice for all female characters. The narrative held my attention, and I was sorry when the book ended, although the wrap-up was entirely adequate. Enjoy!

I mistook this for a writing by Viktor Frankl. It is a review of his philosophy punctuated with snippits of his life. I did not care for the examples he chose to illustrate his points. It seems the author took his inspiration from media accounts of courage in the face of adversity. I was hoping for something more inspirational to recommend to a friend who has difficulty with his internal narrative. The title is great.

I had no expectations about this. But it is very interesting to me, even if I am not Cleopatra or Mary Magdalene or Queen So-and-So. I've got some startling images, and little insights from this Audible. Worth a shot, and the sleep portion is very effective as well. There is no "story"--or I cannot stay awake enough to get to it, if there is one.

I am 75. I have only recently rediscovered fiction. I read some in my childhood. I read this book because a beloved cousin mentioned it, and the reviews were all rave reviews. Having no experience in sci-fi, I have no idea how to compare it to other works. For the first almost 100 chapters, I slogged on. I thought the romance was some kind of artifice, the time line(s) confusing, and the writing clunky. The logic was interesting. The government characters had integrity; that was intensely refreshing though fictional. We don't have much in the way of integrity in government these days. With persistence, arriving at around chapter 100, this book became compelling of the can't-put-it-down variety. Without intending any spoilers, I had real tears in my eyes at the end. I am glad I read this book. I am going to get some of the author's nonfiction, more my genre. Because of this book, my expectations are high.

If you like mysteries, you'll enjoy this book. Wonderful characters, and plenty of them. You won't guess who dunnit either. The reader is very good as well.

Still good. The message endures 60 years after my first reading. Now I understand more fully the ideas, especially the comments on old age. I reread this with the idea to pass this along to a young person who has had a difficult experience of life. I think it would be a hard read for a younger person, very distant from the type of speech in this book.

Dr. Frankl's writing contains many seeds for continued efforts for ourselves and our world.

It would be a great pleasure if I could introduce a person to this author. I think EVERYONE knows about O. Henry and his short stories. If not, let me say he is known for a surprise twist at the end. If you went to public school in the U.S., you probably read "The Ransom of Red Chief".

I don't know why I got this book. I am old and often cannot remember what motivated me to buy a supplement. I usually can remember why I bought a book. Because I'm old (well into me eighth decade of life), the colloquial why these common sense ideas are presented, is jarring, but more refreshing than jarring. I enjoyed this book and the cheerful, positive narration. I encourage anyone to read it, either struggling with "stuff" or just interested in how to deal with the s*** that happens.
