Unpolished

Revisado: 01-06-25

I have listened to nearly all of Diane Mott Davidson’s mysteries. I have enjoyed them as light-hearted, funny and well organized diversions . This one was choppy, hard to follow and not fully ‘cooked’. I guessed immediately that it was an early book and when I did a computer search of her books in order- I saw it was listed as her first. They get better..

A surprising twist for a wordsmith

Revisado: 12-28-24

As a student of linguistics in college, I was well prepared in the study of language pejoration but uninformed about how difficult it was to find and convince males of the time to accept and validate female centered words in the first place.

A strong desire for the book to end

Revisado: 11-07-24

Forgive my blunt assessment but this is the most boring story I have purchased in my 22 year subscription with Audible. Not improved by the narrator

Lilah Love is growing on me

Revisado: 02-10-23

I always rate a Mystery novel with Michael Connelly as my 'gold standard'. This is my second Lilah Love mystery and I give this book a 3 star review. It was ''Pretty Good'.
The story is a little slow at the start, but hang in with it. The protagonist is a female detective who is an expert in her field but is always fending of men who want to take to bed - not take her seriously.. By the end, some big secrets are revealed, bad memories are exposed...no BIG SOLVE.. Still, ..as a character, I think she has promise.

Smart, Readable and Entertaining

Revisado: 09-08-18

'Everything Trump Touches Dies' is a terrific, engaging, and informative book. Rick Wilson is articulate, smart and has an impressive knowledge of the GOP, this election and has quite a command of the language. I found that it was easy to get lost in the smart humor and spicy language and miss a point, so, I'll read it again.

An unexpected pleasure!

Revisado: 08-11-17

Would you listen to Born to Run again? Why?

I would listen again. In fact, I borrowed the audio from my town library, loved the book so much that I purchased it through audible.

What other book might you compare Born to Run to and why?

I've not read a memoir like this one. It's honest, tender and let's the reader follow his journey from poverty, aimlessness and rebellion to success - personally and professionally.

What about Bruce Springsteen’s performance did you like?

I liked his candor. Listening to Bruce read the book.. made me feel like I was at reunion with an old friend just talking about the twists and turns on the road of life.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both - I laughed, I cried - mostly I was in awe of the depth in which he described his journey. His life could have turned into a gaudy, drug fueled mess. Instead, he invested in his own physical and mental health, reflected on his life, mended family fences, learned how to take care of himself and fulfilled his dream of building a family.

Any additional comments?

Until I read this book, I never listened to his music. I do now - and see him as a poet expressing through music the life events that were meaningful to him - whether personal or political. Truly, the man is a mensch. I highly recommend this read.

Connelly and Bosch just keep getting better

Revisado: 11-25-16

Would you listen to A Darkness More than Night: Harry Bosch Series, Book 7 again? Why?

I will listen to Book 7 again. The story is complex and more than just a whodoneit. Harry, not still the damaged, hurt and abandoned boy - is strong, unwaveringly loyal and Connelly has provided a decidedly humanitarian ending. Unusual. I believe Book 7 will enrich Amazon's 'Bosch' series and I hope it is incorporated soon.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It did not. Instead, it kept me thinking about the story between 'listenings' and asking myself questions. That drew me back to my earbuds.

Which character – as performed by Richard M. Davidson – was your favorite?

My favorite, always, is Bosch - performed by Titus Welliver.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. Many sittings. I will certainly listen again.

Any additional comments?

Keep writing Michael Connelly....keep writing.

Jan Karon is tired

Revisado: 11-06-15

Would you consider the audio edition of Come Rain or Come Shine to be better than the print version?

I do. Part of the book's attraction is the narration.

Would you recommend Come Rain or Come Shine to your friends? Why or why not?

I would only recommend it to tie up loose ends...not because I truly loved the book

Have you listened to any of John McDonough’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I think John McDonough's narration improved the quality of somewhat mediocre writing.

If you could take any character from Come Rain or Come Shine out to dinner, who would it be and why?

The Rector, of course.

Any additional comments?

The book was a bit 'tired'. It was difficult to feel connected to Lace because there is little history of Lace as a warm and 'in love' person. I also missed Cynthia's devotional tendency to call Timothy 'dearest'. When asked by Timothy what she wanted to 'do' next, she admitted that she just wanted to 'live' -- I interpreted it as Cynthia's wish to cease the stress of writing -- and that she spoke as Jan Karon, who, I think, is finished with this series.
