Fun listen

Revisado: 03-20-19

Fun listen. Thoroughly enjoyed the narration as well, with an authentic Irish accent and good American accent, and enough of a change between women's and men's voices to keep the story running clearly without being corny. Realistic dialog, especially notable between the children, who act and talk like real kids everywhere. I love the characters. All the books in this series are quite fun, but, alas, I have finished them all. Waiting for a new one!

The French Chef has a Russian Accent

Revisado: 05-28-18

I enjoyed the book immensely. My only complaint was the accents used by the reader. The French chef at the White House apparently has a Russian accent, and all the southerners and African Americans talk very slowly with a southern drawl. And I mean VERY slowly. Ahhh dooo decla-uh thay-at awwwwwl suuuh-the-nuhs taaaalk lahk theee-us.

Fascinating

Any additional comments?

Such an interesting and heartbreaking account of the history of the dial painters. I grew up near Ottawa, Illinois and had never heard of the Radium Girls! After listening to this fascinating book, I asked friends and relatives if they had ever heard of the Radium Girls, and they all said yes. Some had friends whose mothers, grandmothers or aunts died of cancer years after working as dial painters.

The book moves seamlessly between New Jersey and Illinois, and it is easy to get lost in the era - to imagine these young girls so full of life, the stylish clothes they purchased with income from their new jobs as dial painters, their pride in the contribution they were making to the war effort, and then the horror they felt as their health rapidly declined.

Definitely worth a listen!

So many good ideas here!

Any additional comments?

Interesting explanation of the way the brain learns, and one fascinating topic is the value of learning a new instrument to enhance your skills on another instrument. As a beginner, trying to learn an instrument as an adult, I need all the help I can get! I think it would be helpful to take notes while listening, or purchase a copy of the book, so that the practice tips are easy to refer back to.

Interesting stories

Revisado: 05-03-17

Any additional comments?

Interesting stories and worth listening to, particularly for someone not in the real estate business as it puts into perspective the way big real estate deals are put together. If you are in the business, you will already know most of this, but the stories, particularly of the ice rink in NYC, are fun to hear. Regardless of your opinion of President Trump politically, this book shows his negotiating savvy and financial brilliance.
