This review is redacted. Harm to ongoing matter; grand jury; personal privacy. (Okay, not really.... But those characters Ongoing Matter, Grand Jury, and Personal Privacy are seriously underdeveloped in this book! I kid, I kid....) I'm not giving this a star rating, as it feels kind of weird t...
[spoiler] I'm on the fence about what rating should I give to this title. Even though the score I put down is three stars, a 3.5 rating is more accurate. This alternate version is the first time I checked out this story, so I can't compare how it is to the original text. The first part of the story ...
There is a lot to like in this story. The concept has always fascinated me, especially given the veneer of plausibility as the US government does have a well-documented history of unethical human experimentation and has had programs investigating psychic phenomena. So the setup, and the description ...
Snapshot Performed by Wil Wheaton. This story features a creepy man (The Phoenician) with a Polaroid camera that steals memories. A teenage boy stumbles across the man and becomes tangled up in his plan. The story is told from Michael’s memories of what happened. The narration is excellent; it was f...
I think this is one of those books that anyone can benefit from. Everyone needs to engage in some form of negotiation, and this book provides valuable strategies anyone can use. Recommended for all human beings.
I'm not usually an audio book person, the one person reading with just changing voice doesn't distance characters enough for me, so when I saw this was an ensemble cast, I jumped all over it. I watched the show on Starz before listening to this and was pleasantly surprised at how closely the show...
A little over a month ago, I attended a conference (I work in continuing medical education). One of my favorite sessions was on psychology and behavioral economics. By serendipity, concepts from the session are showing up in books I read/listen to. Peak-end rule and elements of decision theory sh...
Snapshot is the first story and it’s narrated by Will Wheaton who does a most excellent job.Set in the 80’s, Strange Weather is the story of a 13 year old boy and his run in with a man he calls “The Phoenician”. The Phoenician is the villain of the tale. He’s ugly, vaguely imposing and possesses a c...
Before becoming aware of this book, I checked out the DVD of the first season of the HBO TV adaptation. While I found the premise intriguing, for some reason, I just couldn't get into it, and I ended up bailing after a couple-few episodes. But I was still intrigued enough that when I came across t...
“Skipping Christmas” is a short novel ( 3hours 42 minutes / 256 pages ) yet, by the time I was halfway through, I was tempted to skip the whole thing. The book is about the tribulations of the Kranks, a middle-class American couple in their fifties, who decide that, as their daughter is away from ...
