Best parenting book I have ever read

Revisado: 02-14-25

Not only is this a good parenting book for all of us racing a child at any age, it’s a good wake up call for all of us to realize how at the mercy we are of these tech companies. I recommend everyone to read this. You will come away with a far greater understanding of how we are all slipping into a media – Cell Phone world. I’m not sure it can be arrested, but awareness is the first step.

Standing here shaking my head

Revisado: 09-04-24

I almost didn’t finish this book. There was a bit too much urine, drugs, and untenable storyline. I did enjoy the performance and some of the incidental history and fables. That is what gives this my two star rating. At times it was long and tedious. The coincidences at the end of the book we’re a little bit too much. I don’t want to ruin the plot for anyone but the ending was just a bit too bizarre. I realize the author is a poet, and although well written, this is just not my type of book. I picked it up because it was one of Obamas‘s books of the year. I’ll have to be careful about his recommendations.

Bad plot

Revisado: 06-06-24

I was so disappointed with this book. The reviews were good and I thought it was a terrible book. Mostly the plot. A bookstore that is alive?. A girl that can read people? I almost didn’t finish it but I hate to purchase something and not get to the end. I kept opening. It would have sum redeeming quality. It was not terribly written but not great. I’m just sorry I can’t get my money back.

Irritating story of bad choices

Revisado: 07-19-23

This was just an irritating story of someone who decides she doesn’t like where her life is ending up and drags her children on a journey to find herself. I made it about 3/4 of the way and had to stop. Leave your church if you are unhappy with it but don’t air your dirty laundry for the world and your sweet children to see. Horrible, horrible book.

My least favorite audible reading.

Revisado: 07-03-23

First and foremost the narrator sounded like a young modern teenage girl telling her life story in high school. I could hardly get beyond that. That will teach me to listen to the preview next time. The other problem with this book is that it was written like a modern story. There was not enough historical context. I am absolutely shocked that it was so highly rated. A few years ago I read Orson Scott Card’s 3 novels, entitled the “Women of Genesis”. The first was on Sarah. The second was on Rachel and Leah, The third was on Rebecca. He is a renowned science-fiction author, and did an excellent job. researching and composing these historical fiction novels. The Red Tent was nowhere near the caliber of those three books. Read Card’s novels instead.

Bad ending

Revisado: 02-10-23

Well written engaging book, but bad ending. Without giving the ending away it was too brief and highly improbable. So disappointed. Cannot recommend on the ending alone. It’s like the author ran out of ink.
