Historia
The real stories behind the scenery of America’s national parks. For 12 years, Andrea Lankford lived in the biggest, most impressive national parks in the world, working a job she loved. She chaperoned baby sea turtles on their journey to sea. She pursued bad guys on her galloping patrol horse. She jumped into rescue helicopters bound for the heart of the Grand Canyon. She won arguments with bears. She slept with a few too many rattlesnakes. Hell yeah, it was the best job in the world! Fortunately, Andrea survived it.

Good Read for National Park Fans
Revisado: 11-17-23
These stories grabbed me because I have hiked in several of the National Parks mentioned. I didn’t realize the scope of a Ranger’s job- which includes performing rescue operations, giving medical care and retrieving the dead. I enjoyed learning about the NPS Range duties and lifestyle. The overall story was genuine and touching.

Good story after I got used to the narrator
Revisado: 05-24-23
Enjoyed the somewhat suspenseful tale. The narrator was a turn off at first but ultimately was tolerable

Romanticism of Adult-Child Relationship
Revisado: 05-04-23
Unfortunate.
I like the writing style & the story was intriguing until an inappropriate relationship is romanticized. There is explicit sexual contact between the adult male & 13year old girl . However, the relationship is romanticized & sexualized throughout the book, beginning with her as a younger child. It was disappointing.

In an extraordinary story that only he could tell, Matthew Perry takes listeners onto the soundstage of the most successful sitcom of all time while opening up about his private struggles with addiction. Candid, self-aware, and told with his trademark humor, Perry vividly details his lifelong battle with the disease and what fueled it despite seemingly having it all.

A Painful Listen
Revisado: 12-01-22
Up front: It is littered with F-bombs & is a frank sharing about drugs, alcohol & the consequences of severe addiction.
Matthew Perry describes his life which has been affected by the tenacity of addiction. I found his story hard to keep listening to because it’s so full of pain and so much lost. It is somewhat balanced out in the later parts of the book with elements of recovery. I am glad I listened to the entire book. It was impactful.

Historia
Ike Randolph has been out of jail for fifteen years, with not so much as a speeding ticket in all that time. But a Black man with cops at the door knows to be afraid. The last thing he expects to hear is that his son Isiah has been murdered, along with Isiah’s white husband, Derek. Ike had never fully accepted his son but is devastated by his loss. Derek’s father Buddy Lee was almost as ashamed of Derek for being gay as Derek was ashamed his father was a criminal. Buddy Lee still has contacts in the underworld, though, and he wants to know who killed his boy.

Suspense & Social Commentary
Revisado: 09-17-22
A suspenseful story with very descriptive writing. It was hard to turn it off! There is good character development of the two protagonists as they come to grips with their gay sons being murdered. The men’s attitude / beliefs about gender identification and sexual orientation are integral to the story.
If you don’t care for stories with gender issues, sexual orientation discussion or violent content, you may not like this book.
