Tom Hanks did the nearly impossible in his narration of pages filled with technical shorthand and his did it with the vocal styling and warmth that we love him for. He has written a story and created a performance that both equal his more well-known fabulous accomplishments.

The story is multifaceted and charming, its many characters somehow ALL fleshed out into real multidimensional humans.

The voice actors all did brilliantly, illuminating layers of moviemaking. May you all go on to shine in equally rich roles in your futures. (Thank you Rita for adding a great chapter as Pat Johnson.)

Broadway is so expensive these days. I really wish I could see every production that's mounted each season. But I'm lucky if I make to one or two shows a year. I'm so grateful that Audible is bringing some important experiences to a wider audience.

The casting was great, the performance was great, the audio capture was fabulous! Audio editor included just enough audience reaction to remind you that this was definitely recorded live.

I miss Wendy Wasserstein and her work so very much.

It's lovely to listen to a project Ms. Brosnahan produced. She did a great job moving from cute to sultry in this role. I shouldn't downplay the rest of the cast. Everyone did a great job, including the swing cast members who covered so many roles.

I listened to it less as a podcast and more as a through-play production, so the intro and outro music was baffling at first. But even it was well-chosen and well-produced!

First, I have to admit that I'm behind on my Jodi Picoult library. So there were lots of choices when I started painting my screen porch. Couldn't believe my luck that Audra McDonald narrated, so the decision was made.

Honestly, this is much harder to listen to than I thought it would be. All the white supremacist words of hate were acutely painful to hear spoken out loud. I wondered with my family about whether it might have been easier for readers who didn't hear them, than audio-listeners.

I did think about abandoning it early on, during a conversation between Turk and the police chief. But instead, I stopped painting for the night and really thought about the author's overall intent of using hate groups' language verbatim.

I decided I had to trust the author to deliver me safely to the other side of my unease. She definitely had a reason for everything she was doing, and I had chosen to take this journey with her. So I kept listening.

I also had confidence that Audra wouldn't have invested her time and energy during a time when she had a toddler at home, if the project wasn't extremely worthwhile.

It was worthwhile

It is worthwhile.

In fact, far more than worthwhile.

Thank you Jodi, for writing this journey.

Maggie Corman tells her story and allows the listener to feel like she's telling it directly to you, beautifully, emotionally, as if she's your new wise mentor.

To me, this amazing performance is a way of "paying forward" the compassion and guidance she received from someone who reached out to help her.

Thank you Maggie!

Performances like this are why I love Audible so much. I never would have known about this live performance, and the actors all brought the intersecting life stories to life. Loved the operatic song at the end. They are all phenomenal performers, past and present, the historical figures from the book and contemporary actors who portrayed them.

This book is like having Shonda as a weekend houseguest. You get to have morning coffee with her, and you get to have that secret late night snack too. She will make you laugh, she will make you think, and by the end... she will make you feel ten feet tall and capable of getting everything you want.

A touching YA story of loss and living, of development of self-confidence and self, and ultimately of both love and acceptance.
