an entertaining and educational listen

Revisado: 08-26-22

a gebtle voice, laced with steel describes a journey that covers wonderful islands in the great lakes. With determination, humor and honor, the author weaves the history, beauty and unique islands in the great lakes, into an enchanting experience that brings you along.

It is a really good book

I grew up on Lake Michigan. I'm fifty eight, but I feel like I'm 12 again, walking the lake.

this book changed my outlook, for the better

Revisado: 07-07-19

An incredible, thoughtful, and judgment-free guide that has helped myself and many people I know understand the concept, ethical nature and realities of polyamory.

There is no sugar coating here. The chapters challenge you with ideas, homework and general societal norms of sex positivity acceptance of self and communication practices. The author is one of the hosts of the informative and thoughtful podcast, podcasts on polyamory, The Multiamory podcast. I cannot recommend this book enough for those new to the idea of Polyamory, open relationships, male, female, or another gender. It is a wonderful book to share with your friends, to help to explain the, often confusing and misjudged world if polyamory. I am incredibly pleased with this purchase and find the author, narrator and publishing house to be open, honest and kind in the gift of this work.

thank you to all. May you read this and find the abundant love humans are capable of, even in friendships, open your world to nee happiness, better communication with others and yourself.

Really? Could have been a web page.

Revisado: 11-03-18

Just too simple, basic and boring. Just text power crap with no substance to men. Don't be needy, and act like an adult. Not earth shattering. Save your money.

Thought Provoking Story, Delightful with Humanity

Revisado: 02-17-17

Would you listen to Florence Grace again? Why?

I rarely listen to books twice, I have a memory for sounds, but I would listen to this thoughtful, smart and unexpected love story that has more to do with self love and kindness, again.

What did you like best about this story?

The people are real, the heroine is flawed, and imperfect and does not become perfect, but always loveable and inward seeking. I love Florie.

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

I have not listened to this narrator before, but her voice is at once, soothing and compelling. She was a perfect fit for this story.

If you could rename Florence Grace, what would you call it?

The title is perfect.

Any additional comments?

I loved this story. I loved the intertwining of a life made more grand, with a longing for something in between what Florance wants and needs. I really enjoyed this story and it is not the normal love story. It is very real and common, a story that is part of the lives of many women, but is truly unique in the way the characters handle and interact with one another. I want to be like Florie.

Another Well Written Delight!

Revisado: 02-01-17

What did you love best about Murder in Merino?

Sally Goldenbaum is not a raucous voice in mystery writing. Her mysteries involve intrigue and deception, with a loveable group of women of all ages who knit together. As her characters try cables, lace, sweaters, her story of this group and how the intrigue fits their lives, envelops you in a ozy shawl of delight.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Murder in Merino?

The feel of her words as they flow, is always a treat. This book is outstanding in character development, and intrigue.

What about Julie McKay’s performance did you like?

She reads Sally's books in a style I embrace. It's measured, not overdone and realistic.

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

Character development

Any additional comments?

No ums, no, "saids," as in, she said. You know who is speaking and why without the distraction of abruptly pointing you to the speaker. Sally's characters don't need, "Nell said," to know Nell is speaking. It is always obvious and never breaks the delicate rhythm of the suspension of disbelief to embrace the book. Her writing style is well honed and delightful, at the same time, filled with the rhythm of people you know, and believe.

Difficult Concepts Clearly Explained

Revisado: 01-31-17

Would you listen to Unstoppable again? Why?

I will and do listen to parts of this book over and over. It is a fantastic discussion about global warming without political viewpoints, just straight facts. While this may sound dry, everything Mr. Nye discusses he does without dumbing the content down or making it boring. This book ignites my search for more information about global warming.

What did you like best about this story?

The clear and honest voice of Bill Nye, who I have come to trust on these matters.

Which character – as performed by Bill Nye – was your favorite?

Bill Nye, although almost a caricature, by choice to teach children, sheds that and is earnest and unapologetic about global changes in a way that makes you think. Even if you don't believe climate change is happening, he gives you clear evidence that can be backed up with great sources.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Every time Mr. Nye speaks and he narrates, this book moves me.

Any additional comments?

I am an unapologetic Bill Nye fan, but this book became a family favorite, and those kids are hard to impress.

Ended, Just Over, is Resolution Gone?

Revisado: 01-26-17

Would you try another book from C. J. Archer and/or Gemma Dawson?

Nope, done. I was never engaged with the characters and the ending, left dangling, was poorly executed

Would you ever listen to anything by C. J. Archer again?

No. The obvious, "sell the sequel," was incredibly poorly written. In a series, each book should be a chapter in a larger book. This was falling in love with a ghost with no resolution, no real intrigue and while many writers do write longer books that are broken into sequels, each book should stand on it's own as well. This book did not.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Her accent was good, she did a credible job with a badly written book.

What character would you cut from The Medium?

All of them.

Any additional comments?

I love books and books with sequels, that make me want more. For example, Madeleine L'Engle's books are part of a whole, but each book has a clear resolution and almost demands the reader learn more. This book, not so much. I am sure if the entirety of the story were presented I might have found it bearable, but as it is? I wish I could return it. I felt my money was taken for a quarter of a book. The characters interesting, but why was the sister the way she was? No exploration of the secondary characters, just all main character stuff. No understanding, or care from the main character about whether her skills affected anyone on the other side, or this one. No moments of humor. It felt like she was trying, but she does not write that way. I was really unhappy.
