My favorite book as a child, and adult !
Revisado: 02-03-20
This is truly a treasure of a book. You will thoroughly enjoy listening by yourself or with the family in the car. The narration/voice performance in this book is perfect and adds just the right amount of inflection to keep you listening to every word.
You cannot go wrong with this book.

Really great book. Entertaining ,fun, informative
Revisado: 02-03-20
Considering what this young man has gone thru to get us this information, it’s simply amazing that he is still able to entertain and delight us with his writing. Snowden also narrates for this audible addition. Definitely worth a credit. I really enjoyed listening to this book, even with all the devastating information he has revealed, I truly enjoyed listening. Thank You Mr. Snowden, for everything

Historia
At a certain time in life, we all come to realize what is truly important to us and what just doesn’t matter. For Shirley MacLaine, that time is now. In this wise, witty, and fearless collection of small observations and big-picture questions, she shares with listeners all those things that she is over dealing with in life, in love, at home, and in the larger world… as well as the things she will never get over, no matter how long she lives.

Good stuff.
Revisado: 02-26-17
If you could sum up I'm Over All That in three words, what would they be?
Light, funny, entertaining
Who was your favorite character and why?
Well, Shirley of course
What about Shirley MacLaine’s performance did you like?
What's not to like, she is Shirley MacLaine.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Will never get over this book!
Any additional comments?
Short entertaining chapters that make it very easy to stop and start listening again and again without having to back track to remember where you were in the story. A very different style of writing that was totally enjoyable.

Loved this book....loved it!!
Revisado: 02-26-17
Would you consider the audio edition of The Longest Road to be better than the print version?
I did not read the print version, so I cannot tell a lie....I just don't know
Who was your favorite character and why?
This was a fabulous travel journal type of book, a lot like Bill Bryson' s stuff. I loved the whole story
Which scene was your favorite?
Again, a travel diary is quite a bit different in its story telling technic than other forms so to difficult to pick one favorite chapter, they all had a little something wonderful.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When his wife had to fly home and he realized how much he loved being with her when originally he wanted to do the trip alone.
Any additional comments?
I really did love this book, writer has a great grown up since humor and managed to add a bit of history as well as psychology to the story, hard to put down....actually I didn't put it down, stayed up all night to listen.

Historia
To celebrate her 50th birthday and face the challenges of midlife, Jane Christmas joins 14 women to hike the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Despite a psychic's warning of catfights, death, and a sexy, fair-haired man, Christmas soldiers on. After a week of squabbles, the group splinters, and the real adventure begins. In vivid, witty style, she recounts her battles with loneliness, hallucinations of being joined by Steve Martin, as well as picturesque villages and even the fair-haired man.

Really negative story telling....it's a downer
Revisado: 02-26-17
What would have made What the Psychic Told the Pilgrim better?
The author is such a negative judgmental person....I believe she was just being honest about her experience, and I am sorry to say but she just is not a likable person.....I believe she thinks she is funny, but she really is just mean. I don't want to upset the author...I do not know her and am probably wrong about her, but in this book, she is a mean judgmental wanna be princess. I'm sure her other books are great, I mean getting published sounds tough...but this book is a complete negative experience. All she does is complain about everything and everyone...literally. That's all this book is.
What could Jane Christmas have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Not have written it
How could the performance have been better?
I'm not sure there was anything that could have improved it unless it was rewritten.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger and disappointment. I have read about 4 other Camino books, or diaries and most of them are quite entertaining, but this one was a really negative experience. I found myself mostly thinking that this woman needed to be put in her place, she seems to think she is some special someone who is misunderstood....however, she is just mean, judgmental and it sounds like she was spoiled.
Any additional comments?
I am sorry for writing such a nasty review, it goes against my usual " live and let live" philosophy, but I was hoping for a personal growth or at least a nice travel diary from this pilgrimage journal, but wow was she mean, maybe her humor just doesn't come across well in the writing, but jeez, what a downer she was.
