Thought provoking

Revisado: 01-20-25

Obviously very well read. I had read the book was originally banned in some countries. For brevity reasons I won’t go into, however, I don’t subscribe. I found the characters stories sad and Huxley’s view on humanities future accurate. There are so many parallels drawn in today’s society. It’s well worth the read as it provokes one to think.

Predicable & cliche fairytales

Revisado: 01-15-25

My friend is a huge Austin fan and has been at me to read her books and immerse myself in her talent.
So I listened to the whole collection. There were times I was so bored with the predictability of the plot which never changes.
Most times I though kill me, kill me know. But I’d persevere. I felt like a weight had been lifted once it was complete. I am sorry but I can’t see the fascination in long conversations that differ little from book to book, that’s the themes and plots are the same. It’s like reading Cinderella.
The performances were wonderful.

Not just for competitive riders

Revisado: 07-27-24

I liked the tempo of the reader. I’m not a competitive rider and I consider myself a a L rider. I had a lot of ah ha moments listening to this book. Particularly in relation to dealing with fear. It also helped me normalise the thoughts & feelings I’ve had & have. I’ve got some great strategies from listening and will listen again to take notes. I recommend this to anybody wanting to improve their horsemanship & riding skills.

A must read.

Revisado: 06-14-23

Understanding brain function as explained by Jones makes learning easy and accessible. I had many moments where I thought; so that’s why certain things took place or happening now. I have a better way of thinking about how to help my horse understand because I have a better understanding of how my human brain functions in comparison.
I enjoyed it so much I will but the hard copy.

Nothing like the internal struggles of self

Revisado: 04-07-23

The narration was perfect, I was transported back in time. Stevenson was a marvelous storyteller and Jarvis gave a believable performance. It left me feeling a little sad. The letter at the end, the confession I could not stop listening, Jekyll’s confession is what made this a rather sad story.
I’ll probably listen to it again in the future.

Wilde is an outstanding author.

Revisado: 03-06-23

Loved the flow and rhythm of the conversations. The notions of art and life.
The reading was outstanding by Barnes and I can’t wait to listen to the uncut version. I recommend this book completely.

Great read for better understanding

Revisado: 02-10-23

This is a great book for those that want to have a better understanding of horses and how to understand their thinking process and how to train and ride with this in mind. It’s a good start to the science behind training.
Easy to listen to and I enjoyed the conversations with Tom.

Chilling!

Revisado: 01-15-23

I enjoyed the way this was read, the tone. The fact it is a true life story taken from interviews and transcripts makes it all the more interesting. This is a real life monster who often sent a chill through me.
If you are into true crime this is a must listen to.

What a story

Revisado: 01-08-23

Even if you know or care little for horse racing this story is one that should be heard. The people of the time period are exceptional people with a colorful life. It’s the story of those that have ever struggled or been told they aren’t good enough. I’d love to see this made into a movie.

Unforgettable

Revisado: 12-16-22

I loved the way it was voiced, who wouldn’t it’s Tim Robbins.
I am going to buy this book and read it again. Bradbury has somehow tapped into the future. Just look at what is going on in some States of the US. Look at social media!
Thought provoking.
