Loved this satire!

Well written and hilarious. The author skillfully roasts the wellness industry. I was thoroughly entertained throughout. The narrator was also excellent.

Love this book!

The writing is good, the narrators are superb, and the story is interesting, though a bit far out. Still, a great listen.

Nothing happens until the end

Is she paid by the word? I got so tired of the endless descriptions of mundane details. Finally, the convoluted “twist” is revealed. I feel dumb for listening to the whole thing.

Predictable

Revisado: 01-24-22

The story is familiar, and the protagonist has no redeeming qualities. The writing is mediocre at best. The narrator is ok but the characters kind of sound as if they’re always on the verge of tears. I would have returned it but I have exceeded my limit on returns.

Come on!

If you like your plots preposterous and your protagonists slow on the uptake, this novel is for you.

Disappointing

Revisado: 07-31-21

I loved the first novel in the series. This one kept me entertained for about the first half, and then the author increasingly focused on the least likable character, a brutish pig of a loser who hates everyone, especially women. Crude and irredeemable. I don’t get it. What a turn off.

Entertaining but needed editing

Revisado: 05-22-21

A decent novel but the awkward, imprecise writing really detracted. So much padding and repetition.

Well written, excellent narration

I was very impressed by this almost painfully candid story of Cohen’s irrational loyalty to Trump.

Beautiful account of a mother's painful journey

Revisado: 08-10-20

I was struck by the honesty of the author's struggle to understand and accept her son's mental illness. It's so difficult to let go of what we envision our kids' lives will be, and so much more so when they are lost to us. I think Feldman captured the devastation, panic, exhaustion, all of it, so movingly. In her case, additional trauma pushed her to the breaking point. Still, there is humor and self-deprecation in her account. Just a very successful effort.

Interesting but needed editing

Revisado: 09-10-19

It was an intriguing and timely concept and for the most part the author pulled it off. But the writing in some places is amateurish, in particular, the repeated misuse of the word “like” in place of “as if” or “as though.” (Hundreds of times.) That is just sloppy. It made me wonder if there was an editor for this book and if so, whether the editor knows correct grammar. On top of It, when the author attempted to use an actual simile, they seemed strained and fell flat. The narrator was excellent.
