does not disappoint

Revisado: 12-01-21

As usual, I was drawn into another Grabenstein book which I read in one day. In book two of this series, he doesn't disappoint. The narration is great
and the story is fun and has a great underlying storyline of good defeating evil, right vs. wrong. A must read. The story is short and great for the entire family. Another must-read!

great performance, odd story

Revisado: 08-30-20

The cast of characters was outstanding to make this a book I wanted to listen to, even if I wasn't particularly seawn into the story. It is a YA type of book more, which I love and have no problem with that. I think the storyline was not bad and had a good moral basis and ending, for once, about the power of good overcoming evil and how the love of others can have that power. I just got a little confused in some area when Beezer could seem non-demonic and other times be very domonic as he was going through various changes. I know there would naturally be an identity crisis and questions while changing from what you know, denying your destiny, and becoming someone new, but I think it could have been portrayed differently. It was a bit odd, but perhaps that's because I often read physical books along with audiobooks to get a clearer idea of what is happening, so maybe I'm missing the visual aspect! short read. still worth it, especially with kids.

mr. Lemoncello never sours!

Revisado: 08-27-20

I stayed up half the night reading this (got a late start, but couldn't stop reading...). It was worth the groggy head and droopy eyes I have this AM. Can't get enough Lemoncello!

If God is Good, why do we suffer?

Revisado: 04-30-20

I love books by Alcorn. Having recently finished Heaven, I needed more. He is well-researched, provides solid references, and consults many resources to reach a very clear conclusion. He presents many sides to arguments and not just one side. He makes you think. Well worth the long read! This is a question I think about a lot, and his argument makes total sense. My love for God only increased more through reading this. I'll think about this more as my battle with health issues get so much worse, even the harder I fight, and as I prepare for my own potential death and loss of QOL as a 42 yo with such love and passion for this current world, in spite of 26 years of suffering.

roald Dahl for the win

Revisado: 03-24-20

read multiple times, but can never get too old or too much of Roald Dahl, especially when chill out books are needed!

great story, not the best narration

Revisado: 02-21-20

Excellent, inspiring story about pushing the limits and not giving up, but a better narrator would have made it more interesting.

one of the best books I've read this year

Revisado: 12-10-19

excellent, inspiring, humorous book without losing the sense of reality and challenges of living with a progressive muscle wasting condition. I laughed. I connected. I was inspired. As someone with severe disabilities and a love for life, I share his approach to life and attitude. He is fully dependent on others, yet he finds the humor in the horrors of living with the nastiness of his challenges. It's all about attitude. He uses it to do incredible things with his life and impact the lives of millions. He refuses to be defined by it and does not pity himself.

This book is easily one of the best of the 100+ books I've read this year. Completely worth the time! Get this book. It will be some of the best 6 hours you've spent listening to a book.

dead on from someone with chronic illnesses

Revisado: 09-05-19

I have multiple chronic illnesses and was legally blind for two years at one point. In spite of that, I have had an awesome life and been able to use my challenges to make an impact on the world through the founding of a non-profit organization which now has an international outreach.

What she discusses about the loss of friends, the societal misunderstandings, the learning to accept yourself for who you are, and everything is all TOO real. Everyone needs to read this book. It's all so true
...I can say that honestly from someone who has been there for 25 years and dealt with ALL of these issues and feelings for over 25 years, since the age of 16.

Fun book I've read more than once.

Revisado: 04-06-19

Great narration. Creative twists and unknowns, with a somewhat humorous ending as to what becomes of the most evil character in the end! I want to try some of this candy!

One of the best!

Revisado: 11-15-18

Excellent book with great narration. I couldn't stop listening. I loved all the references to classic video games I grew up with and how the story was one big video game. It was a cliffhanger that had me on an emotional roller coaster. It was one of those books that kept me awake late until I was done reading it. I will definitely listen to this one again! The story alone is great, but I think the narration made it even more captivating. The book was so good that I have no desire to see the movie...one reason I read the book was so I could see the movie (I always read a book first). Once it was over, I decided I really don't want a movie to destroy any images I created! #futuristic #suspenseful #otherworld #tagsgiving #sweepstakes
