Great story, fantastic narration
Revisado: 11-10-24
First of all, the ladies that performed this book were exceptional narrators. I also really enjoyed the story itself. I thought it was ging to be a depressing read, but really like this author and read it anyway. It was a great story. I have to think that many of the critical reviews are based in a philosophical difference of opinion on an individual's free will vs. inevitability.

Historia
The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

Historia
Growing up Black in rural North Carolina, Ray McMillian’s life is already mapped out. But Ray has a gift and a dream—he’s determined to become a world-class professional violinist, and nothing will stand in his way. Not his mother, who wants him to stop making such a racket; not the fact that he can’t afford a violin suitable to his talents; not even the racism inherent in the world of classical music.

Excellent
Revisado: 05-15-24
This was a fresh spin on the old whodunit mystery, but it was more than that. It was also peek into the life of a young black man in the United States. This story was as heart wrenching as it was exciting to listen to. It was the best and most interesting story that I've listened to in a while.

Historia
Finlay Donovan is killing it...except, she’s really not. The new book she promised her literary agent isn’t written, her ex-husband fired the nanny without telling her, and this morning she had to send her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head.

Finlay Donovan should be evaluated for ADHD!

The story was more silly than funny--a lot of coincidences coupled with unchecked impulse control. I did enjoy the narrator's style.

Someone is lurking in the shadows, watching their every move. Someone who remembers exactly what they did.

Good story, but could have used a bit of editing...
Revisado: 02-12-24
I like Eve Chase's storytelling, but there were a lot of distractionin this one. I enjoyed the story itself, but there were so many similes that it they became a bit distracting and almost comical. Also, a typical 4-year-old doesn't speak in 3rd person and sentence fragments. That is suggestive of a developmental delay that I don't think the author intended. Overall, it was an entertaining story, but could have used some polishing prior to release.

Historia
Sixteen-year-old Frankie Budge—aspiring writer, indifferent student, offbeat loner—is determined to make it through yet another summer in Coalfield, Tennessee, when she meets Zeke, a talented artist who has just moved into his grandmother’s house and who is as awkward as Frankie is. Romantic and creative sparks begin to fly, and when the two jointly make an unsigned poster, shot through with an enigmatic phrase, it becomes unforgettable to anyone who sees it. The edge is a shantytown filled with gold seekers. We are fugitives, and the law is skinny with hunger for us.

Frustrating Story Line
Revisado: 01-28-23
The bones of the story are good and had a promising premise, but the characters are somewhat dimwitted and the plot lines are so improbable that they are frustrating to follow. There was so much suspension of belief as to how most people would conduct themselves versus how these characters behaved that it just took away from what could have been a really good book.

Another Lovely Bittersweet Story
Revisado: 11-14-22
I really enjoy the way that Andy Abramowitz writes. His stories are heartfelt and very funny at the same time. My only criticism of this audiobook is that the narrator, who was very enjoyable to listen to, mispronounced several things that the editors should have caught.
