Historia
Gracie Reed is doing just fine. Sure, she was fired by her overly “friendly” boss, and yes, she still hasn’t gotten her mother into the nursing home of their dreams, but she’s healthy, she’s (somewhat) happy, and she’s (mostly) holding it all together. But when a mysterious SUV pulls up beside her, revealing Chinese cinema's golden couple Wei Fangli and Sam Yao, Gracie’s world is turned on its head. The famous actress has a proposition: Due to their uncanny resemblance, Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in.

Hooked from the start
Revisado: 08-14-21
Well written, funny and brilliantly narrated story that sucked me in from the get go. The characters, though fictional are so relatable. It's a "what the doctor ordered" kind of book/listen. Thank you Lily Chu and Phillipa Soo.

Historia
At once a coming-of-age tale and a heart-rending love story, Wild Ginger explores the devastating experience of the Cultural Revolution, which defined Anchee Min’s youth. The beautiful, iron-willed Wild Ginger is only in elementary school when she is singled out by the Red Guards for her "foreign-colored eyes". Her classmate Maple is also a target of persecution. The novel chronicles the two girls’ maturing in Shanghai in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Chairman Mao ruled absolutely and his followers took up arms in his name.

An absorbing read/listen by Anchee Min
Revisado: 12-29-20
This read packed so much loss in a time of forced faith. A glimpse into the Cultural Revolution era in a Maoist China paints a raw picture of how life was a predicament even for young children. What impressed me was the characters varying drive and pursuit for acceptance and personal discovery. To "live" and love during such times was a gift that few could afford.

An Adventure Packed Story
Revisado: 12-22-20
This classic was a fun, adventurous and dreamy. The expert narration presented itself as a delightful theateresque production. The audiobook is so descriptive that it made up for my visual senses!

So-so Read of the Winston Series
Revisado: 12-18-20
This series seemed rushed, to the point of painting a picture of a detached Winston siblings. The book didn't bring out much of Roscoe, one can only hope that the opportunity will arise in the proceeding books. Nevertheless, Penny Reid hasn't lost her magic.

Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves.

Historia
It’s 2011, and Samuel Andresen-Anderson—college professor, stalled writer—has a Nix of his own: his mother, Faye. He hasn’t seen her in decades, not since she abandoned the family when he was a boy. Now she’s re-appeared, having committed an absurd crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the internet, and inflames a politically divided country. The media paints Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart.

What a delightful literal treat!
Revisado: 09-01-20
Nathan Hill really knows how to write a gripping good story full of twists and turns. I enjoyed how the plot was not predictable and how the characters were meshed into the story. This was a literal treat packaged with humour, misfortunes, absurdities, complex human relations and much more...toppled with Ari Fliakos oratorical perfomance. Pure delight!

Enjoyable
Revisado: 08-06-20
I loved the potrayed dimensions of the various characters and the complex relationships. I couldn't help getting drawned to the witty, humorous and obsessive thoughts and views of Ava (the protagonist).
On the other hand, I'm not sure if a male audience would enjoy it though.

Historia
In this unnamed city, to be interesting is dangerous. Middle sister, our protagonist, is busy attempting to keep her mother from discovering her maybe-boyfriend and to keep everyone in the dark about her encounter with Milkman. But when first brother-in-law sniffs out her struggle and rumours start to swell, middle sister becomes "interesting" - the last thing she ever wanted to be. To be interesting is to be noticed, and to be noticed is dangerous. Milkman is a tale of gossip and hearsay, silence and deliberate deafness. It is a story of inaction with enormous consequences.

Almost pulled my hairs in frustration when I began reading this one to the point of literally throwing the book away. The Audio version was worth the redemption.
