Interesting concept

Revisado: 06-30-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The concept of this book was so interesting. It gave of some Hunger Games vibes mixed in with some controversial topics that mix with modern-day current events. I wish there was more depth given to the backstory and the details were more prevalent throughout the book. There is so much potential here, but it felt like I was listening to a summarized version of it, leaving out all of the descriptions that allowed me to visualize the story being told. The evolving relationship between Francisco and Alexandra was a hard one to get on board with. I sure hope the cliffhanger ending means that there is a sequel in the works.

Touching story

Revisado: 04-29-22

It’s a story we’ve all heard before, but hearing it from this young woman‘s point of view was especially touching. I liked seeing how she grew to love and respect her new grandfather. Her courage and tenacity throughout her tribulations was endearing. This is an upsetting part of history that needs to be shared and cannot be forgotten.

Very helpful

I really appreciated how this audiobook gave different points of view on religion. Because religion can be such an uncomfortable topic to discuss, it it is nice to be able to read about people’s true thoughts and experiences. It did not feel like I was just being talked at but like I was part of a conversation. I was very please with the narrator of this book. I feel like he really brought the listening experience to life. I would recommend this to anyone who feels like they are curious or want to be a part of Christianity but aren’t exactly feeling or matching up with how it’s playing out in society.

Great for any 80's lover

Revisado: 12-04-21

I grew up in the tail end of the Hair Band era, so some of this book really resonated with me. Brought back a lot of memories and had me reminiscing...just like the story! I am certain that if I read the book I would not have enjoyed it as much as I did listening to it. I found the narrating to really enhance the story and kept me enthralled. This is a definite good listen for anyone, but especially if you want to re-live your 80's hay days.

three stars

It was clear that the author had a difficult childhood and painful upbringing that had a significant effect on him well into his adult years. This was a great testament to therapy and the progress that can be achieved in doing the work. This book came across more as a therapeutic exercise rather than a memoir, and I would note that while making a recommendation.

I don’t think ‘spiritual’ and ‘thriller’ are two words you hear used together often, but in this book, it certainly is the case! And I would say it was a bit more spiritual than religious, particularly any specific religion. The story was fast paced and kept me interested. The narration was great as well. Fascinating premise.

Four stars

Tina got mixed up in a terrible relationship at a young age and her bad luck and poor relationships just continued. The story weaves through a lot of dramatic and traumatic events. So much of the story seems so sad but also quite relatable as well. There’s some mature and possibly triggering content, but it is well written. The narrator for the audiobook did a great job. I breezed through this entire audiobook and less than two days!

Great read

Revisado: 04-29-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This was a great audiobook! A young French woman weds, eager for a happy marriage, only to find out her husband isn’t anything like she expected. She is seen merely as a possession and when she can’t fulfill the role he has intended for her, she is cast out in an awful fashion. As she tries to return to her family She is betrayed over and over, but is still determined to find people to trust in hope that they help her. This audiobook went by so quickly and I really enjoyed the story.

Great story, great narration

Revisado: 04-03-21

This was quite the clever book. I knew next to nothing about this ‘world’ before listening to this audiobook. I’ve vaguely heard references to weepers but didn’t understand the extent of the whole story surrounding them. I thoroughly enjoyed the narrator of the book. The voices, the accents, everything was wonderful. I read some historical fiction but not a lot during these times and wasn’t sure that it would be that appealing but I really enjoyed the different settings and the background given. Both families were full of deep and interesting character whose stories had many levels. This was a great book and think I would prefer listening to it in audiobook versus reading just because the narrator did such a wonderful job.

A funny one.

Revisado: 02-05-21

This audiobook was good for a few laughs. Several of the stories were quite relatable. I liked that each bit was broken down into a chapter so I could break up the listening easily without losing my place or plan to listen for just a chapter or two when I didn’t have a lot of time. The storytelling is reminiscent of a comedy show... A bit exaggerated or over the top at times but it all came together in the end to make a good story.
