Everything!!!

Revisado: 03-28-25

intensity of the story, the emotional up-and-down that Kristen is taking you throughout the book, the real people like characters of these stories, are guaranteed to let the reader of this book be a little bit wiser, a little bit more knowledgeable, and a little bit more empathetic towards the sacrifice that the women of the Vietnam war made in the service of their country and for a long time, an ungrateful nation.

Phenomenal

Revisado: 03-07-25

I’ve read all of Adrian Mckinty books, and love Sean Duffy’s character. He’s grown from being an almost out of control police officer to a 40 something almost in control human being. The writing on this book is almost like music, with ups and downs and a pulsating narrative that keeps the rhythm. I should go back and reread the earlier books to decide whether this is the best Mckinty one, my gut says “YES”.

Talent!!! Exquisite, multilateral, uncanny at times

Julia brought my old man face to tears a few times before as a narrator. I don’t know her acting history except for what wikimedia posted but wanted to know so much more about what else is hidden in that pretty little head of hers. Thank You for Listening is a great sample of that brilliant, not unexpectedly, of that mystery. Thank you for allowing me that peek, Julia!

Can’t finish it

Revisado: 01-14-25

I’ve been a loyal reader of Louise Penny’s books for YEARS! And I can’t finish this one! Like previous years I pre-ordered this one and looked forward for months to get the download in my audible app. After two hours, I couldn’t keep up with the convoluted story, couldn’t tell the characters apart and just didn’t like the book. Feeling that my loyalty to this author is not warranted, I won’t pre-order the next book in this series. I will try to finish the book though!

Lovely!

Much more uplifting than “Somewhere Out There”. If you read Amy’s books you know what I mean…maybe.

So far so good!

Revisado: 09-19-22

Im just at the beginning, and the story is nicely moving along. Based on prior comments, i bought the kindle version and then the reduced priced audible version. I listen when there are no text exchanges, and read when the online/texts make up the majority of the chapter. The audible and kindle versions keep each other updated so it’s easy to go back and forth. Listening to texts is a bit confusing, i prefer to have the two versions.

A Modern Don Quichot Fighting Lethal Windmills

Revisado: 05-06-22

A few years ago I read his first book, Red Notice. We knew, or suspected what the murderous regime of Putin does, first and foremost to the people of Russia. Bill Browder happened to have an insight from a first row perspective and revealed one case of his own experience with Putin. The story doesn’t end there; then came Trump, and Putin managed through him to control to an extent the anti-Russia narrative coming out of the WH, through this stooge of his, as well as other sleazy US politicians, like Dana Rohrbacher, and corrupt US lawyers such as John Moscow and the company he represented. Freezing Order is a riveting account of how the Bill Browder crusade to stop the Oligarchs’ pilfering of Russia through the Magnitsky Act came close to hitting a hard wall thanks not just to efforts by the Kremlin to stop it but more so to the collaboration of the US and Western proxies. One would surmise that, should Red Notice’s message have been better heeded at the time of its publication, the world would have been in a better place instead of under threat from a nuclear Russia with a Hitler equivalent at its helm.

I never write reviews- this is amazing

Revisado: 10-16-19

I love listening to books - some more than others. I heard about ‘The Dutch House’ in an audible book review, and the editors spoke with such vehemence about it, I thought let’s give it try. The book is beautifully written, the characters are 3-dimensional and the story is compelling - after all that you would think that it’s a slam dunk, let’s get the book! But no, there is more! The narrator is Tom Hanks, and I cannot imagine a better performer for this beautiful book - don’t think about it! Just get it.

What’s up with the music and sound effects?

Revisado: 05-28-18

I will be returning this book - can’t enjoy the book due to the sound effects. I have listened and enjoyed to many of Michael Connelly’s books, and so looked forward to this one!
