Don’t be fooled by the title of this book because you will learn nothing. It’s a load of drivel, no substance no factual evidence. Recommend this as a sleep aid though as it’s a very boring load of nothingness !

This book is open and honest and written from the heart. It completely captures the initial rawness of sudden unexpected death, the shock and aftermath of suicide and what suicide leaves behind, as well as how Linzi got through the funeral, inquest, and everyday life since. Linzi shares her tips and resources in her capacity as a mind coach as well as being a bereaved sibling navigating complex grief herself.

its a great pity the author herself didn't narrate this book. Its such a heartfelt and raw subject and the narrator just wasn't up to the job of conveying the authors feelings and emotions. I found her too young and sickly sweet voice really grated on me, couldn't finish the book!

Abused from the age of eight by her older brother and then her step-father, Maureen Wood quickly became numb to the constant suffering. But Maureen’s world crumbled when her own mother started to abuse her too. A Family Secret is the harrowing true story of how one little girl survived sickening abuse by the people who should have loved her most and how an innocent baby finally saved her.

Horrific abuse story that I didn’t finish as some parts of the book didn’t add up for me.
I just couldn’t help feeling that some parts were fiction or a little embellished maybe due to the narrators way of speaking like she’s reading Red Riding Hood.

As Sharon gathers family and friends together to say goodbye, Senga, as always, does things in her own mysterious way. She instructs Sharon to find the red diary she kept in the 1970s and to read it.

Tenement life in the 70s.Captures the true hardship,humility,camaraderie and unique sense of humour of Glasgow women.
The plot was a bit weak but that didn’t matter as the characters were all so vibrant and true to life. Authors voice was a bit shouty but it’s authentic so it didn’t bother me. Great wee book if you get the Scottish working class sense of humour,

The junior doctor...back on the wards. After a year on the streets treating outreach patients, Max Pemberton is back in the relative comfort of hospital. This time running between elderly care and the dementia clinic to A&E and outpatients. No longer inexperienced (Max and his doctor friends can now tell when someone is actually dead), they are on the front line of patient care, for better or worse.

Narrators voice grated on me all the way through the book, and his skills as a story teller are very poor. I am a fan of medical/human interest books but this one was was the most boring and badly narrated one I have ever listened to.

No electricity, no family, no connection to the outside world. For eight years, Cooper and his young daughter, Finch, have lived in isolation in a remote cabin in the northern Appalachian woods. And that's exactly the way Cooper wants it, because he's got a lot to hide. Finch has been raised on the books filling the cabin’s shelves and the beautiful but brutal code of life in the wilderness. But she’s starting to push back against the sheltered life Cooper has created for her - and he’s still haunted by the painful truth of what it took to get them there.

In medical charts, the term "N.A.D." (No Apparent Distress) is used for patients who appear stable. The phrase also aptly describes America's medical system when it comes to treating the underprivileged. Medical students learn on the bodies of the poor - and the poor suffer from their mistakes. Rachel Pearson confronted these harsh realities when she started medical school in Galveston, Texas.

This might have been a good book if it weren’t for the narrator!
She talks so fast and at times it’s comical almost like a robot.
I gave up at chapter 4!

Our brains do their best to help us out, but every so often they can be real assholes - having meltdowns, getting addicted to things, or shutting down completely at the worst possible moments. Your brain knows it's not good to do these things, but it can't help it sometimes - especially if it's obsessing about trauma it can't overcome. That's where this life-changing book comes in. With humor, patience, science, and lots of good-ole swearing, Dr. Faith explains what's going on in your skull, and talks you through the process of retraining your brain to respond appropriately....

The author using the f word all the way through the book is unnecessary and I feel shes only using it to shock as a gimmick.
I am no prude, but I found it vile.
Also the narrators voice grated and it was made worse by the acoustics.

Jean Swinney is a feature writer on a local paper, disappointed in love and - on the brink of 40 - living a limited existence with her truculent mother: a small life from which there is no likelihood of escape. When a young Swiss woman, Gretchen Tilbury, contacts the paper to claim that her daughter is the result of a virgin birth, it is down to Jean to discover whether she is a miracle or a fraud. But the more Jean investigates, the more her life becomes strangely (and not unpleasantly) intertwined with that of the Tilburys.

Terrible Narrator
Reviewed: 19-07-21
I could only listen to 15 minutes of this book as the narrator was so awful. The first chapter she’s reading news headlines quickly in the style of a horse racing commentator, which was bad enough but she seems to not be able to produce enough air for the last word in each sentence.
I found the narration didn’t get much better, there’s a complete lack of feeling as she rushes through the chapter.
