Flat Characters

Revisado: 07-26-22

The story was interesting enough, but I didn't feel any connection with the characters, which I found to be rather flat. I'm not sure if the reader reduced my enjoyment by making the best friend's voice sound like Biff; I found those parts particularly unenjoyable. The descriptions of marine life and the awe of science were the best parts.

Poignant and Humorous!

Revisado: 01-20-21

I loved this book and highly recommend the listen! I listened all in one day while doing a jigsaw puzzle, and it was amazing. I wasn't familiar with Amber Ruffin before, but you can bet that I'll be keeping my eye out for more of her work from here on out! It was only released 8 days ago, and I sure hope that audible adds a PDF soon! (please?!)

Fascinating - a must listen

Revisado: 03-28-19

Fascinating book. Biological evolution, development of societies, government and money, walks through sociology, psychology and anthropology... If it has to do with humanity, this book touches on it. And I didn't drudge through it; it really kept me engaged. Highly recommend.

Mediocre Mystery

Revisado: 11-13-18

I really wanted to love this book, since I absolutely love JKR and the HP series. Sadly, I was disappointed. I felt that it was lacking in character development and in action. Throughout the book, I found myself looking at the audiobook player to see how much longer I had to go. For me, it was a struggle to finish. I felt very little attachment to the characters and just wanted to find out whodunnit and move on. #mystery #whodunnit #meh #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Overly Detailed

Revisado: 11-13-18

I love true crime, and I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts. This book was overly detailed and it captured more facts than experience. It was interesting to read and I'm glad that I now know the story, but I could've watched an hour-long tv episode of the case and been satisfied. #truecrime #lostintheweeds #trueevil #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Inspired by True Crime - Misses the Mark

Revisado: 11-13-18

This book seems to be inspired by true crime, but it really misses the mark. The characters aren't compelling and the storyline is lacking. I'd pass this one up and spend your time/credit on either true crime or better fiction. #mystery #meh #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Paranormal Mystery

Revisado: 11-13-18

I heard a segment on NPR about The Listener and downloaded it straight away. As a mystery set in New Orleans, it brings in the paranormal in a way that develops and connects the characters. It's a great listen! #mystery #paranormal #neworleans #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Keeps You Guessing

Revisado: 11-13-18

The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty is a fun and intriguing read. It kept me engaged throughout the book and did a good job at pulling things together in the end. #mystery #suburbia #couldhappentoyou #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Terrifying and Tragic, with a Dash of Hope

Revisado: 11-13-18

Finding me by Michelle Knight is both terrifying and tragic, and delivered with a dash of hope. The author reads her own memoir, which in some ways adds to it, but in others detracts (as is often the case when authors read their own work). The book is definitely worth the listen if you're interested in hearing about the horrors of true crime. I have not yet listened to the book by the other two who were kidnapped. #horror #truecrime #readbyauthor #memoir #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

classic, and read by the best!

Revisado: 11-13-18

I am a proud potterhead! back when the books were originally released, I read the first 3 in print and then discovered the audiobooks, and I've never gone back to reading with the voice in my head... Jim Dale can't be beat. His narration is brilliant. I've listened to the entire series several times. I have the whole series on CDs and am re-purchasing through audible so that I can have easy access on my phone at anytime. Harry Potter has it all - adventure, wisdom, strong character development and brilliant writing. Each book both stands alone and holds an important place in the overall story arch of the series. #potterhead #ravenclaw #adventure #fantasy #truth #tagsgiving #sweepstakes
