Beautifully narrated

Revisado: 12-04-23

I listened because the book was assigned to my high schooler, and I had never read the book myself. Although the book was well written and the narrator was perfect, I didn’t love the story. I couldn’t help thinking of how the people who thought they were helping Lennie were only causing themselves and others misery, which ultimately led to tragedy.

Horrors that history has buried

Revisado: 09-06-23

I had never heard of Unit 731 until a week ago. I immediately looked for a book on the topic and was glad to find this one for free with my Audible subscription. It’s not easy to listen to the horrors that occurred. It is a good reminder that all countries have horrors in their past. The only way forward is to learn and try to keep these atrocities from happening again.

The book and movie are equally perfect.

Revisado: 08-25-23

A beautiful story about the complex mother/daughter paradigm. The movie follows the book almost exactly. The narrator did a perfect job and brought each story and character to life.

One of the most informative books I’ve listened to on health and fitness. Make sure to get the additional PDF that shows the workouts.

Clear voice, easy to understand, no music

Revisado: 12-08-22

I was so pleased to find this, I have the exact same version on CD’s that I purchased 20+ years ago. I still love to pop those in my car, but wanted something I could listen to anytime. I now read the ESV, but didn’t find a version of that on Audible that I liked. There are lots of great audio Bibles out there, but I bought this one because it is voice only, with no music, and the narrator has no accent so it’s easy to understand, even when sped up. The version with the British narrator and music is also beautiful, but it’s hard to understand unless you are really concentrating. My only complaint is the chapter divisions, I wish it was sorted by books of the Bible to easily navigate. There is a reviewer who posted the chapter breakdown, so I will screenshot that and use if needed.

Short, sweet, and spot on

Good book, especially for those not immersed in deep Covid research. A great book to send to your school boards and put a copy in your neighborhood free library. The answer is us.

An Absolutely Must Listen To

Revisado: 01-14-21

I discovered Annie about 2 years ago. This year I listened to all her books available on Audible. She is an amazing storyteller. Her details really paint a full picture, and the people she tells about become so real, I feel like I’ve met them. Her voice is also very soothing, so I’m delighted she narrates her own books. This book was a little hard to listen to, because I know service members who have died in Afghanistan, and have loved ones that served there. It was raw, real, and so thought provoking. This book builds a lot on subjects discussed in The Pentagon’s Brain, and highlights an area that is getting a lot of news these days: bio-metrics, tracking, and government transparency. What I really appreciate about Annie’s style, is that she presents the facts, without making judgments, she lets the reader ponder and draw their own conclusions. She presents multiple sides to each story, and shows how blurred the lines can be, especially in the world of military and intelligence. I would recommend this book, and then go get all of them. Your mind will be blown. I’m eagerly awaiting her next release.
