Great tidbits of information

Revisado: 09-24-22

Great tidbits of information that any business can use and implement. I took several notes and will probably relisten to it soon and take when more notes.

Not for me

Revisado: 07-19-22

I'm not a fan of crime drama, but the premise sounded interesting, so I thought I'd give the audio book it a try.

Plot was predictable, yet not very believable.
Four women find themselves widows when their significant others all die in a plane crash together, and now they're lives are being threatened and must get a large amount of cash ($4M) and answers to things they know nothing about.
Without giving anything away, many conclusions were reached quickly by women not very knowledgeable in the subject matter. Personalities clashed, but resolved *quickly* and no hard feelings linger (which I find highly unbelievable).

I did enjoy that each character has a very different personality, and the narration/acting was good.

Again, I'm a little biased, so if you like simple crime dramas, you may feel differently, but this wasn't a favorite for me.

Good Story

Revisado: 05-31-22

Good story with a twist or two. Characters were well built and relatable. Narrator did a great job acting and doing different voices.

Thoroughly enjoyed

Revisado: 05-05-22

Story was good and although I predicted the "mystery" the characters were well developed and interesting.
There were a lot of characters to keep up with while listening to the audiobook, but it got easier.
I'm a fan of Moriarty and I would recommend this book to others.

Diverse Stories

Revisado: 03-11-22

Tom Hanks offers interesting & diverse short stories. Each story has a typewriter at least mentioned, which creates an interesting and common thread.

Great Story, Great Narrator

Revisado: 08-17-21

This book will stay with me. Rich in characters and rich in story. The narrator made each character come to life with uniqueness and personality.
Adding this one to my "Must Read" list!

Wonderful interpretation

Wonderful interpretation. I enjoyed the different readers for each character. I look forward to learning more about this era in history.

Very thought provoking

Revisado: 11-11-20

Very thought provoking. Each character had their own story with a different perspective and from a different place in time. I even find myself using words that were used in the "future" narrative.

Historical & Depressing; Izzy's not the main story

Revisado: 02-12-15

Any additional comments?

Two stories, somewhat intertwined. Main story: Its late 1920's and Claire is sent to an asylum, just because her wealthy and powerful parents want her to marry someone else, and her boyfriend is not "good enough". Doctors do not believe she is sane and keep her committed, against her will.

I found the narrator's interpretation of the boyfriend (Bruno), who is supposed to be Italian, annoying because he definitely had a Russian accent. I didn't care for the narrator's other characters, but Bruno was the worst.

Depressing that this could happen, how people were treated, and truly mentally ill people were misunderstood.

Interesting & Unexpected!

Any additional comments?

Do you ever finish a book, and *immediately* want to pick it up and re-read it??? I've read several Jodi Picoult books, and frankly was a little tired of the same MO, but this book was probably the best one I've read!

Its also written from several character's perspectives, and like her other stories, this a journey kept me wondering how it would end. Just when I thought I knew, it took a radically different direction! WOW!

I love animals, and like Lone Wolf, this was packed with lots of animal facts (about elephant's behavior, mentality, herd dynamics, maternal care, etc) woven into the story.

Definitely recommended!
