Spellbinding story
Revisado: 05-14-23
The story is well told and engaging
The main narrator sounds a bit monotonous, this could be improved.

Vietnam meets Houdini meets murder mystery
Revisado: 07-12-21
I liked the gradual revelations of John’s past, mixed with hypotheses about what happened with Cathy. It keeps you guessing all the way.
This is a unique type of Vietnam novel: dealing with the mental and moral fallout in a mesmerizing thriller.
Only 2 drawbacks of this book: the cursing + the quotes at the beginning of several chapters were long-winding.
I was glued to my car seat while listening to this audiobook. What a story!

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 120
On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated outside of his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. What happened inside room 306 on the evening of April 3 is the subject of Katori Hall's The Mountaintop. Hours after King's final speech, punctuated by his immortal line "I've been to the mountaintop", the celebrated reverend forms an unlikely friendship with a motel maid as they talk into the early hours of what will be his final day.

Surprising!
I did not know about MLK’s mountaintop reference in his speech.
If you swallow or ignore some bad language it is an unforgettable performance.
The performance (voices and sounds) is just great.

The Sheltering Sky is a landmark of 20th-century literature, a novel of existential despair that examines the limits of humanity when it touches the unfathomable emptiness of the desert. Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind, Requiem for a Dream) gives masterful voice to this American classic.

Ready for a sense of pending doom?
Revisado: 01-27-20
The book got going slowly, but in the second part became interesting. By then it started to grab me.
If you get the haunting suspicion that a thunderstorm is about to break out you will not be disappointed. The results will keep your mind occupied for a while.
The sense of pending doom hanging over this book makes for a rewarding read, or an engaging listening experience (if you get the audio version)

Growing a perfect moustache, grilling red meat, wooing a woman - who better to deliver this tutelage than the always charming, always manly Nick Offerman, best known as Parks and Recreation's Ron Swanson? Combining his trademark comic voice and very real expertise in woodworking - he runs his own woodshop - Paddle Your Own Canoe features tales from Offerman's childhood in small-town Minooka, Illinois, to his theater days in Chicago, beginnings as a carpenter/actor and the hilarious and magnificent seduction of his now-wife Megan Mullally.

Funny but full of expletives and prophanities
Revisado: 10-09-19
I like someone with a sense of humor, so this book looked interesting. However, the many profanities and expletives made listening a pain. I returned the book.
