A rich and charming epilogue to the All Soul's trilogy, this book explores that back story (and ongoing stories) of a few of the supporting characters from the trilogy --notably Marcus Whitmore and Pheobe Taylor. Though lacking in the high-intensity adventure of the previous volumes, Harkness more than makes up for it in terms of emotional and cultural complexity, inviting the reader into a deeper immersion in the All Soul's universe -- so like our own!
Narration is excellent, and maintains both the tone and much of the character-specific accents and inflection from the trilogy's audiobooks.A rich and charming epilogue to the All Soul's trilogy, this book explores that back story (and ongoing stories) of a few of the supporting characters from the trilogy --notably Marcus Whitmore and Pheobe Taylor.

Enjoyable and informative. After reading (or rather, listening to) Isaacson's exploration of the life and work of Leonardo I feel I have a greater appreciation for both the renaissance master's accomplishments and for his humanity.
Exceptional reading by Alfred Molina (with intro and outro by the author). I also found the accompanying PDF easy-to-use and a great enhancement to the audio.Enjoyable and informative.

Brilliant and inspiring, this book changed how I think about play and about the potentially-lifelong process of learning and growth we humans seem hardwired to engage. According to Dr. Brown we ignore or suppress this instinct for play at our peril--both personally and as a species--because to play *is* to grow & learn. It's a radical hypothesis, and the more I observe myself and others the more true it seems to be.Brilliant and inspiring, this book changed how I think about play and about the potentially-lifelong process of learning and growth we humans seem hardwired to engage.

Three months after reading "Border of Paradise" I still find it difficult to put words to the impact Esme Weijun Wang's debut novel has had upon me. As someone who has experienced mental illness, I found Wang's portrayal of the event of it and its consequences both frank and compassionate. The book's story-telling style welds together an almost blunt concreteness with a mythical quality that, for me, communicates the "feel" of madness far more convincingly than some of the more conventionally narrative efforts I've read.
In this novel, Wang also builds an argument for the model of inter-generational trauma; how the "sins" of the parents are, as it has been said, "visited upon their children unto the seventh generation". While such wisdom has become almost cliche in today's media, Wang's evocation of it here achieves a visceral realism that has shaken this reader to the core. Whatever faults one may find in "Border of Paradise", this dimension of the story alone makes it, in my mind, eminently worth the read. Just be sure you are prepared to face what the book wants to show you!Three months after reading "Border of Paradise" I still find it difficult to put words to the impact Esme Weijun Wang's debut novel has had upon me.

Marvelous debut from author Mishell Baker. The tightly-plotted story balances depth of characters with compellingly tense action. Baker takes plenty of risks without ever leaving this reader dangling from an unresolved plot point or shaking his head at overstretched credibility. An engaging and thought-provoking read!
Arden Hammersmith does a fine job on the audiobook narration. She captures the overall youthful energy of the main characters, and lends grit to the book's more terrifying passages.Marvelous debut from author Mishell Baker.

A sprawling and ambitious alternate history. I enjoyed Shawl's imagination and her treatment of intercultural and intergender topics. I'm afraid I found the narrative structure a bit jarring at times.
