I appreciate that the book covers a range of topics and it’s filled with various examples and offers guidelines on how to address subtle acts of exclusion from three different potential roles in the interaction, or even when there is not interaction at all. I also liked reference to other resources throughout the book. This book was made with love! I’ll be putting into practice what I have learned and spread the word to others on this very important matter.

The book is a must have for anyone working with eating disorders. It has a lot of useful information on various factors influencing weight, the food industry and weight stigma in the medical community. The book can get quite technical at times, so it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Also, the reader’s voice was mostly robotic or monotone. A hard copy might be best

I enjoyed these classics n spite of having trouble understanding at times because of the reader's intonation and heavy accent at times. The reader does a great job changing voices and getting into the characters, but that is exactly what makes it so hard to understand at times unless you're from that part of the world. Speaking English is simply not good enough; you will have less trouble understanding if you're British or Scottish I believe. To be fair, I wanted the British accent anyway because H.G. Wells was English, so I wanted it to be as authentic as possible. I got my wish with this book! Worth reading and purchasing!

Decent book with some good and inspiring suggestions, but it is very commercialized. The author keeps referring to his website all throughout the book. It would have been preferable if he had simply mentioned his website once either at the beginning or the end of the book. He is also looking for new subscribers to his newsletter

La narradora hace un buen trabajo y la novela introduce al lector a la vida de las heroínas desde una perspectiva íntima. En ciertos momentos la lectora hace unas pausas abruptas o demasiado largas para mi gusto. Los capítulos de la narración no se corresponden con los capítulos asignados en el audiolibro de navegación. Por lo demás, la novela es placentera y cautivante. Disfruté mucho aprender de las hermanas Mirabal de las cuales no tenía ningún conocimiento anteriormente.

Este libro lleva al lector en un viaje único en la vida de Paula y su madre Isabel Allende. Es una historia familiar cubriendo varias generaciones. La narradora tiene una voz dulce, cálida y poética que le hace justicia a una novela plagada de sentimientos y recuerdos de la escritora en una mezcla de realidad y ficción

I could not stop playing this book; I played it while driving, while cooking, while running in the treadmill! The narrator’s amazing voice paired with the power of the story are mesmerizing.

Vargas Llosa hace un buen trabajo representando la vida política y personal de Roger Casement, del cual yo no conocía nada. Sin embargo, por momentos el libro se vuelve tedioso especialmente cuando el escritor pierde al lector en una retahíla de nombres y hechos.
