I fell in love with Ina all over again!

Revisado: 04-04-25

I loved learning more about who Ina is as a person and how she has accomplished all of the wonderful things she has experienced. It was delightful listening to her narrate. I highly recommend this book even if you aren't a foodie! ;-)

This is a wonderful story so well told about great characters. I would love to meet an Octopus.

Major triggers!

Revisado: 03-03-25

Spoiler Alert! This book has violence, adult situations, child abuse and language. If any of these things are triggers for you, then you should not listen to this book.
I would not have read this book if it had not been recommended by my bookclub. This book should have come with a warning. I found myself skipping through parts to get past some of the situations.
The characters are all over the place, it jumps from person to person without really fulfilling some plot lines. There are several story lines where you have no idea what happened to that charcter.
I would not recommend this book to anyone.
But the narrator was great. He did a wonderful job with the different dialects and people. I would listen to him again.

Snore

Revisado: 02-21-25

This is one of the most boring books I have listened to in ages. I would have normally give up and returned it by the third or fourth chapter. But this was for my bookclub.
There is no plot, there is very little connection between the characters. It is several chapters about the different people but it lead nowhere. It had so much potential but was sorely lacking. I was really surprised someone had recommended it. I certainly would not.

The ability for the different narrators to become the part they were reading.

Revisado: 08-29-24

This was a delightful story. It brings out imagination and the ability to think about the "what ifs" and destiny. A little mystery and intrigue. I highly recommend this book.

Look at the Length before you download.

Revisado: 02-04-24

The length is ridiculous. The story could have been half and still been adequate. I skipped an entire part just to get through it. I also found the quotes at the beginning of nearly every chapter annoying and unnecessary. This is not the best book and I'm not certain I will get the next one.

Excellent story of the real Paul Newman

Revisado: 09-13-23

I have to say my opinion of Paul Newman has changed somewhat. But not in a bad way, just different. I'm not sure what I thought before, but perhaps I had him on a moviestar pedestal and didn't know it
This book is unlike any other memoir I have ever listened to or read before. They usually bore me to tears, so I almost never finish them or avoid them altogether.
Changing narrators when a different person was giving their perspective was refreshing.
It is not told in a way that says, "First I did this, then I did that." It is told with honesty and gives an authentic view of Paul Newman, the man, the imperfect person with a dysfunctional family and real issues. It is not sugar-coated or flowery. It's real and raw. However, it is funny in parts, sad in others, and entirely unexpected. Yes, I definitely have a different perspective of Mr. Newman.
Now, I want to go back and watch some of his movies knowing what I do. I believe it gives a different depth to the person behind the characters.
I highly recommend listening to this book even if you have only seen one or two of his movies. You'll be glad you did!

Worth The Wait!

Can't wait for the next Sunshine adventure!! This was fun and intriguing. I just wish books came out more often than once a year. ❤️

Read the book, don't listen to it!

Revisado: 09-16-22

This has to be one of the most annoying books I have ever listened to on audible. The fact that it is over 32 hours long makes it worse. Really wish I had read more reviews before I downloaded it.

The story is good but all of the flipping twitter conversations, direct messages and anagrams became monotonous. It does NOT translate into audio at all. I was able to follow it most of the time because I use social media but it got ridiculous.

The story could have been told without all of the twitter conversations. I liked the premise but it is too drawn out. The story had too many characters to keep up with and it became confusing between handles and real names.
Very disappointed in this book after waiting so long. I hope the next one is better.

Narrator is ANNOYING!

Revisado: 08-09-22

It's a pretty good story I guess but the narrator talks very fast and always seemed out of breath. I understand being dramatic in parts but he was always dramatic!! geez! I just can't listen to another book in this series because he narrates them all!
