I'm hooked!

Revisado: 01-14-25

Mission Critical by Mark Greaney had me hooked from start to finish as I delved deeper into the thrilling world of Court Gentry. I was pleasantly surprised to find Gentry as gripping as some of my all-time favorite characters—James Reece, Mitch Rapp, Jane Hawk, and Nameless. His relentless determination and the action-packed storyline kept me captivated for hours, leaving me eager to follow his next adventure. Jay Snyder’s narration is truly a standout, with his flawless mastery of different language accents adding authenticity and depth to the audiobook experience.

A riveting dive into history

Revisado: 01-07-25

Adrian Goldsworthy’s Antony and Cleopatra is a masterfully written account that brilliantly intertwines historical detail with engaging storytelling. The depth of research is evident on every page.

Though the inevitable tragic end of Antony and Cleopatra looms large, I found myself wholly immersed in their story, rooting for them despite knowing their fate. Goldsworthy portrays their humanity and ambition with such nuance that their downfall feels all the more poignant.

Equally impressive is the portrayal of Octavian, whose calculated strategy ensured his survival and eventual supremacy. While his choices may not always inspire admiration, they make perfect sense in the context of the brutal power struggles of the era.

Haunting account

Revisado: 12-14-24

Carr’s Beirut is a haunting account of the tragic events that claimed the lives of peacekeepers in the Lebanese capital. Carr captures the grim reality of a mission marred by political mismanagement and impossible circumstances. Commander Geraghty, charged with leading under these dire conditions, exemplifies the crushing burden placed on those forced to navigate a volatile and unforgiving mission.

A Thought-Provoking Journey in Pursuit of True Happiness

Revisado: 10-16-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

At first glance, I anticipated, “The Happiness Quest” would follow a familiar, fairytale-like narrative, complete with a "happily ever after" ending. However, Rebekkah Edlund skillfully avoids that cliché by posing a deeper, burning question: how does one truly achieve happiness?

Edlund weaves this question into the heart of the story through her protagonist's journey. Instead of offering simple answers, the book explores the complexity of happiness by integrating various factors that influence it. What truly stands out is how the author uses character interactions to reflect these complexities. Characters like Steve the creep and Jim the pessimist represent realistic individuals we might encounter in life—those who either dismiss or challenge the idea of happiness. These interactions provide the protagonist with new perspectives, highlighting the fact that not everyone believes in or supports the pursuit of high-quality happiness.

The book's charm lies in how it balances the protagonist's personal quest with the reality that happiness is not always as straightforward or universally understood as we might hope. Edlund masterfully ties these factors into the storyline, making the journey feel relatable and grounded. “The Happiness Quest” is not just a story, but a thought-provoking exploration of what it truly means to pursue happiness.

Awakening

Revisado: 02-20-24

RJK Jr adeptly navigates the complex challenges of the pandemic, shedding light on various motives behind preparedness processes with remarkable articulation. Each piece of information presented is meticulously researched and supported by concrete evidence, providing readers with a clear and factual understanding of the subject matter. Prior to encountering this book, the information available appeared vague and influenced by popular thought. I highly recommend to anyone seeking an open and insightful perspective on the pandemic and its implications.

This book is an eye-opening historical account of the struggle among all camps from an Israeli point of view. I never take for granted the miracle of human life and how quickly it can end. Hug and kiss your loved ones because one never knows…

Intriguing

Revisado: 09-22-22

An excellent presentation and breakdown of FBI myths and misconceptions. I really enjoyed the interviews with special agents and experts that I believe came from different episodes of her podcast. I found her rating system using footwear analogy difficult to follow but overall, it was a fascinating read. Thank you for your service Ms. Williams!!

Wish the meditation practices were narrated/guided

Revisado: 07-16-22

This audible would have flowed better if the details of the meditation practices for each of the weeks were narrated in a guided fashion versus saying week 1, flashlight, week 2, flashlight, etc. and then having to download the accompanied enhancement to read those details. Other than that, I found the background info on the research very interesting.

Delivery just right at 3/4x

Revisado: 04-09-18

Listening to the narrative delivery of Silent Joe was much more realistic in 3/4 speed. It brought on a melancholy feeling to the story of Joe's life.
