Addictive listening

Revisado: 11-21-23

This is the kind of book that hooks you in. Collins leaves beautiful cliff hangers at the end of each chapter so that you want to listen to more. Dynamic character development, and overall gives the reader meaningful context for the original series.

Incredibly Powerful

Revisado: 08-07-23

A great listen for self reflection. Brene Brown challenges folks to think about how they engage with the world around them and ways we can evolve to support ourselves, our children, our partners, and our communities better.

Why Sherman Alexis and Chicken Mean So Much

Revisado: 08-02-23

It’s a story about friends and how they shape you. It’s a story about how a person can fall in love with books. It’s not only a great story and accessible story about poverty and wanting to get out; it’s beautifully performed by the author. The commentary afterwards is also nice. Give it a listen.

A fantastic classic

Revisado: 07-24-23

I have read this book several times as an adult, and as a high school teacher, I think this book is one of the most powerful ones you can give to a middle school student. It a book that seems to provide a parental hug that says “it’s ok that you are you. You don’t need permission. You don’t have to conform to what everyone says. You and the compassion you bring to the world is enough.” If you have a 11, 12, or 13 year old kid who feels different, give them this book. If you are an adult, read the book too. Consider if you have the power to be a Mrs. Whatsit or an Aunt Beast. Maybe you are just a happy medium. Read the book. It is bound to open up your heart a bit.

Great story, narration—not so good

Revisado: 07-23-23

I love Atwood. Her work is always interesting, insightful, and beautifully crafted, and if what you want is an Atwood novel, this is a good. That said, the sound effects and narration style made me deeply consider returning the book, specifically the effects for the maidens voices was just poorly done. The main narrator is otherwise ok.

She the Best Medieval Lecturer

Revisado: 07-22-23

I loved her series on the Black Death and its updated counterpart. This series about women in the Medieval era is equally intriguing, especially Olga of Kiev and the Mongol Queens.

Fun for children of all ages

Revisado: 07-18-23

The enchanting lady’s story is a fun listen for children all way up to 108 or more. Not only is the story as imaginative and enjoyable as you remember, the narrator is also brilliant.

Excellent Read for all

Revisado: 07-15-23

For anyone who thinks “feminism” is a dirty work should read or listen to this as well as bell hooks’ “Feminism is for Everybody.”

Great advice

Revisado: 07-10-23

I would say this is absolutely worth the listen if you want to improve a relationship or self evaluate the kinds of relationships you want or need in the future. That said, the readers sound a little robotic, but if you can look past that, give it a listen.

Great overview of rights given through court history

Revisado: 07-28-22

I loved this overview. It needs to be updated given the recent overturning of Roe. However, it provides a meaningful overview of landmark cases. It helped me understand Citizens United with greater depth, but he did a nice job with each case.
