Hugh Grant’s narration is perfectly wonderful! I recommend everyone should listen to this classic Christmas story.

I can’t finish this.

Revisado: 12-05-24

I really don’t know how I listened as long as I did. I wasn’t enjoying the stories. I stopped at chapter 11 because I had enough.

The Pod Save America guys accept where we are, but aren’t content to leave us here…..

Revisado: 06-26-24

This is a pep talk for democracy. I feel like these guys are my spiritual brothers. They offer some practical advice for participating in this grand American experiment with humor and they make me feel better. I’m really glad they’re doing this work. They’re encouraging while letting us all know there’s work to do. We can all help in some way to improve our government and be responsible to each other. They still believe it and so do I.

Enjoyed this imaginative story

Revisado: 06-10-24

I like to alternate light reading after books with heavier topics. This one is thought provoking, but not particularly demanding. It as a fun and creative story. I looked forward to each chapter. I liked most of the characters.

Full of good practical advice

Revisado: 06-09-24

There is bound to be something useful to you or someone close to you that will help make living together with other humans better, but even if you live mostly on your own, learning to have better control of your own thoughts and emotions will make life better for yourself.

The story was interesting for my 12 year old granddaughter and me. We definitely wanted to know how the story would end.

Will this book help stop the growth of extremism?

Revisado: 09-21-23

I hope so. Connecting the dots is a good start. There are so many ways people get drawn into these groups or come to adopt extremist ideas—I feel like there needs to be more public effort to counter the narratives that suck people into extremism. We need to be familiar with the origin stories of our homegrown extremists to have a chance at keeping their numbers down. We must take seriously the job of talking people down from divisive rhetoric, actions, and beliefs and doing more to make it harder for people to be convinced that they’re living in a Hellscape that needs to be changed through violence against their fellow countrymen.

Engaging Story!

Revisado: 07-10-23

I looked forward to all the opportunities I had to listen to this one. I became invested in the characters and had emotional tears near the end. I would definitely recommend this story to a friend.

Have an interest in space technology?

Revisado: 06-09-15

Reading books like this fills in missing pieces of the puzzle that is essential to a better understanding of history, and it's interesting too. I learned much I did not know before about the space race and its repercussions over time.

This book captured me.

Revisado: 01-23-10

The story follows real people through terrible circumstances in 1930's America. Diaries and newspapers shape the story. Before I finished the book, I could imagine being there --but knew that really being there would be much more than I could imagine. Still, this is the best and most interesting rendition of the time that I've read, and I think it helped me to better understand why things have unfolded in our country as they have. Books like these make history so much more appealing than textbooks. If you liked "Isaac's Storm" or "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson, you will like this book by Timothy Egan too.
