Entirely Too Long-Narrator Meh

Perhaps I would have done better if I had read this old school vs audiobook. I found the narrator boring;hard to listen to, so It was a real slog for me to finish. I need to stop trying to read and/or listen to things that aren’t grabbing me. So far 2024 has been hard for me with regard to reading books AND audiobooks. I have been choosing the wrong books it seems, So do not use MY review to decide whether or not to read this book.

A Story of Love/Angst/Living & Dying

A great short story/essay a daughter caring for elderly/dying parents & a parent with dementia/post head trauma. I think the emotion bubbling under the surface was what really kept me listening; because I have BEEN where she was. The Boomer generation increasingly finds themselves the caregivers of their parents who are living ever longer thanks to modern medicine. The resolve to do better for them; the anger that you have to be the one doing it for them; the frustration with the current healthcare system in the US and the expense; the family dynamics of non-caregivers and what they think you should do is pretty spot on for many people. Some resonated with me; other situations did not…thank goodness. This is a REAL look at REAL people and problems and the reality of death/dying. Overall - I liked it a lot because I’m currently living it.

The story is heartwarming/heartbreaking/funny/just plain lovely. The performance was tremendous! Best audio performance EVER as far as I am concerned. I will be listening to this again and will be sharing my love for it with everyone! Perfection.

It was a riveting story…way too long and detailed in some parts; at least for my preferences…but well written and very descriptive and the narrator was exceptional. One feels they know young Pino. Definitely recommend.

The writing-excellent. The story-unbelievably off the chart sick. hard to imagine that one woman could exert so much power and inflict so much control and pain on everyone. My biggest issue with this book is that it was
Just too long. The story could have been told in far fewer hours than this took. It just became a listing of all the horrible things Shelly did over time.
Over and over and over. I get that it went on for decades but it shouldn’t take a decade to tell the story effectively.
I think his next endeavors should include caution about including TOO much detail. Still-I listened to it all.
The narrated was outstandingly probably one of the best I have ever heard. So kudos for that.

I loved this story-I especially loved the narrator. In fact-I probably would not have finished reading a printed book…the narrator was THAT good, because the astonishing scientific detail was just WAY over the top at times. The book could have been done just as well-in my opinion-without as MUCH scientific detail and not taken quite so long to get through. That said…it was a great story and a great audible book!

I really wanted to love this book, but about 1/2 way I decided I just didn’t enjoy it…listening I kept getting bored and falling asleep then restarting from where I remembered and tried again. Finally decided I was fighting a loosing battle. For some, I’m sure this is terrific so don’t judge this by my review. I did not enjoy the continuous profanity…just because I don’t think it enhances a story. If you like or at least don’t mind, then this certainly wouldn’t’ be worth worrying about. If, however, you are like me and don’t like that…this book will be a non-starter.

Too Much Current Day Politics

It was a chilling story…but I felt like it touched way too closely to current day politics while creating a fictitious story. I don’t know…I would have preferred my favorite author steer clear of that type of thing. Not that I disagree with what happened and may yet be happening to our government/country/politics I would just prefer Louise steer clear of it.

As far as the story - it was TOO long. o listens on audible and it may have been the narrator. But I just kept getting bored and hoping to get to the end and I have never felt that way about one of Louise’s books before. Not that the story should have been boring-perhaps if I had read the book in its traditional format I wouldn’t have felt that way.

All in all-I have it a good rating and I did love that they I corporate 3 pines and Gamache into the story.

I am giving this 5 stars-not because it’s a literary masterpiece, but because it held my attention-the story is fresh and I couldn’t accurately predict the ending until nearly the very end. A brilliant storyline. At least I thought so. Definitely recommend. My only criticism is the constant back and forth between character perspectives-but not sure how else it could have been done and still preserve the story.
