A loving call to see and claim our worth

Reviewed: 01-30-21

Wow. WHY is this not taught in schools?? In a culture where deficit is scrutinized, mistakes are reposted, and differences are shouted, The Worthy Project challenges us to take stock of how our behaviors reinforce Worthiness or Worthlessness through objective contemplation and from a place of love, not shame. Meadow vulnerably shares reflections on her journey, and she invites her listener to take action on small changes that make daily impacts on their sense of worth. I'm sharing this book with everyone I know. Everyone deserves to elevate their worth and live life in a way that reflects their worth. This book is life changing.

Such Potential

Reviewed: 07-19-17

I enjoyed the unique perspectives in this story, but the main character is done a huge disservice. Even with an understanding of domestic violence and brainwashing, I couldn't buy Clara' s naivete. At first, yes. But flashback chapters reveal so much of her exposure to the nitty gritty (again.... and again... seriously, Again?!?) that to believe present-day Clara had no idea there was anything but happy family life is to diminish her intelligence. She was written as gifted & talented at school and a stand-out girl in her new family for Pete's sake, but she was evidently a Pollyanna Ostrich. Great potential, very interesting story line, but repetitive illustrations with a lackluster ending. Decently enjoyable.

Can. Not. Handle. The Narration

How could the performance have been better?

I stuck with the story longer than I wanted to just out of curiosity for the storyline; however, I just couldn't handle the narration any longer. The original narrator for this series was so good that I got spoiled. I made it through the previous book with the narration change and hoped that this book would give relief, but the twangs and drawls seem over the top. The telephone conversation voices are grating. I finally googled spoilers so I could give my ears reprieve. :(

I could see my grandfather throughout this story of a cantankerous man who believes in right and wrong, quality, and learning to stretch one's comfort zone in care of others. enjoyable read.

thankful to find another gripping novel

Reviewed: 01-15-16

the layers in this book are perfect to weave a suspenseful and meaningful narrative, but not so scattered and plentiful that they lose an auditory reader. I'm sad it's over.

I stuck in just to see how it ended, but....

What would have made The Secret History better?

The female voice narrating so many male characters throughout the book was extremely annoying. I found myself thinking if every reference to a cigarette or a drink were removed from the book, it would probably only be three chapters long. I just felt the story was drug out way to long with so many references to college students lighting up a cigarette or pouring a whiskey.

I tried to hang in there, but it wasn't for me

Would you try another book from Diana Gabaldon and/or Davina Porter?

I would possibly try another book by Diana Gabaldon in the future, but this style wasn't for me. I read online to try to figure out if I needed to "hang in there" until a certain point to get hooked, but I found most people love it or don't care for it, and I fell into the latter category.

Even if you anticipate the twist, you hang on :)

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the detail and the storyline. Very graphic and disturbing, but I was entertained throughout the book.

A little rough for me, but I had to get to the end

Any additional comments?

The language and graphic detail could best be described as erotica, which I didn't anticipate, but the story was intriguing.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have recommended Troublemaker several times already. I admire Leah's courage and her frankness in this revealing telling.
