Interesting history!

Revisado: 06-14-24

Enjoyed seeing the portrayal and information about how different presidents reacted to news and crises. I may listen again (I never do this!) just to understand better and in case there were parts I missed. Recommend!

Depressing and sad but important

Revisado: 02-24-23

This was not a story I knew about before listening to this, but I’m glad I know about it now, though it makes me sad to hear of more terrible deeds done to Native Americans by white people.

Good not great

Revisado: 01-26-23

I enjoyed the narration very much. The story did loop me in after a while but I thought there was a bit too many sensational bits. I don’t consider my self prudish around descriptions of sex and drugs but there were times here where I thought “enough already.” But, when it ended I wished I could know more about how the characters’ lives went from there. To me, that is an important mark of a good story.

Very enjoyable

I thought the story was good and the writing excellent—I loved the way Julia Glass uses words. I hope to read more from her. The narrator was great too!

Made me laugh out loud

Revisado: 03-13-21

If you enjoy “slice of life” stories, and the inanities and small joys of everyday life, I think you will enjoy this book. It made me laugh out loud, literally, on many occasions.

Loved it!

Revisado: 09-11-20

Books like this always make me wish I were one of those exceptional people who forge forward with their dream even when it goes against the grain. Great story—especially if you are a woman who cherishes your female friendships. That bond is truly like no other. I unabashedly laughed and cried out loud while I listened, even when walking, biking and working in the yard. Xe Sands is a wonderful reader.

I'm left kind of empty by this book

Revisado: 08-16-16

A good friend of mine recommended this book to me so I wanted to like it. She thought the writing was great. I thought it seemed contrived at times, like it was trying too hard to be clever. I was frustrated by Josie, the protagonist...I wanted her to get a grip, to be a parent, to make some rational decisions. And I felt the story just stopped at the end--I wanted more closure, to know that all the ramblings had been worth it for Josie and her kids, that they could fit into some niche in society again. But I was just left with questions and emptiness for them. I'm sorry, but I can't recommend this book.

We all have a little Ove in us! I laughed out loud many times while I listened. Really enjoyed this.

Sorry to see the end

Revisado: 03-30-16

This is a great story, but the reading done made it even better. The accent, inflections, etc performed by Jeff Woodman made me laugh out loud at times. I tried to read this book once before and couldn't get hooked but the narrator really brought it to life.
