It's the characters

Revisado: 03-08-24

Sometimes I wonder how an author can create new stories for his Orphan X. Lone Wolf elevated the Orphan X series to one of the best. It has interesting characters, snappy deep dialogues. This book has a unique premise and story line: exceptional tension and clever ending.

A Call to the Author

Revisado: 12-31-23

This is the sort of book that when you finish it, you want to call the author and thank him.
And tell him that his words will help me be a kinder and more compassionate person.
And then also note that his stories tie together all of the data into a comprehensive narrative.
I would recommend this book to anyone with similar feelings and aspirations.

Forever friends

Revisado: 10-13-23

I would recommend this book to anyone older than 67, who has been a grandchild and perhaps a grandparent, felt regret from time to time and now is looking at mortality is a different light. Then I would recommend it to anyone who has been a friend, had a friend and misses a friend.

I would then include anyone who wonders about life and its meaning, has felt joy and despair; love and abandonment; guilt and redemption. Then I would include anyone who has a soul that seeks understanding and compassion to read this book and reflect on its message. The best time to listen/read this book is now.

I am forever touched by its tender story of friendship.

Nothing motivational, new or inspiring

Revisado: 09-06-23

I could not catch the "flow" of Csikszentmihalyi's book.
The book is just a series general soundbites and mostly incoherent sentences.
Between violin cascades and short comments, I could not understand why this book is so expensive on Audible and it is only 5 hours.

Not plausible

Revisado: 06-15-23

Insipid story development. Difficult to care for the characters. Lacked realistic suspense. The rationale for the coach to go out on his own did not make any sense either.

Unique suspenseful mystery

Revisado: 03-26-23

The books that have interesting and unique characters are often the most entertaining and, if in the thriller genre, the most suspenseful.

End of a war

Revisado: 02-02-23

The last fourth of the book illustrates what a tragedy war is not only when it starts but also when it ends.

Perspective

This is a story that needs to be told to add some perspective to our politics.

Story telling at its best

Revisado: 10-02-22

This book was terrific. Bonnie Garmus is a gifted storyteller. Ms Zott (the main character) is the person that you want to stand by and cheer for her as she works through the 1970's era. Even 6:30 (her dog) tells part of her story. This book is reminiscent of "The World According to Garp" and even hints of Charles Dicken's "Great Expectations". The book's ending was worth the journey: full of hope, destiny and a recognition of those among us who are kind and see the worth of each soul. The narration is superb.
