Felt like I was listening to an Aussie TV drama… This book is made for TV! A great short and entertaining “read”… And thought-provoking. Glad I’m single 😂

Irritating phrasing
Reviewed: 21-09-2019
I could only listen to this in bursts because I found the narrators phrasing and Speaking voice, the timing the pause between words incredibly irritating this tended to overshadow the content which I can now barely recall despite finally finishing it. The second last chapter was quite good though and I more enjoyed the sharing of other people’s wisdoms and insights. Not what I was expecting but that’s fine. I’m sure others may well enjoy her unusual “feel like I’m in a meditation class” narration style. I do.. in a meditation practice 😂

Story
This is an incredible story of adventure, human ingenuity, persistence, and resilience that shows firsthand what it is to adventure as a woman in the most dangerous of circumstance, what it is to be truly alone in the wild, and why someone would challenge themselves with an expedition others would call crazy. For Marquis, her story is about freedom, being alive and wild by nature.

Moving and magical
Reviewed: 25-04-2018
I have actually already read the print copy but I felt compelled to listen to it again on audible. The story is one that has profoundly affected my life previously and while the narrators Voice takes a little warming to, I was not disappointed at all that I spent the extra credit in revisiting this magical tale of an extraordinary woman‘s journey. With her profound insights into so many things I hold dear, this book is more than just another adventure story. I can highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys insights into the human spirit, independent adventuring or simply learning about other cultures that is seldom glimpsed in traditional travels. Allow yourself to be swept away for hours and take forward with you an insight into your own possibilities. A truly exceptional human being and a wonderful addition to any audiobook library. Thank you Sarah!

Exactly the right book at the right time
Reviewed: 20-06-2017
Had this book on the Wishlist for 4 years but only after a successful guided meditation experience with a friend who recommended this book did I actually download it.
Wish I had four years ago of course but perhaps then I would not of been ready to hear it so deeply.
Recommend it to all of my friends and wish it was compulsory reading it all schools.
I am going to listen to it again and also download the others.

Story
In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl's halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That's how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to this audio the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs.

Swept Away
Reviewed: 28-12-2016
I cannot imagine anyone else narrating this story of Bruce.
His distinctive gravel tone lending an authenticity to a classic rags to riches and everything in between story that feels more like, at times, you are sitting with him crossing vast open landscapes in a battered Cadillac on a back country road..
I've a ticket to see him play in Australia in a few weeks, at hanging rock.
Having listened to this wonderful biography these past days the experience will resonate even more deeply. Thanks Bruce. You've taken me somewhere I've never been and I'm a little bit changed for it.
Honesty, authenticity and sharing our humanity, the good, the bad and the ugly, does that.

Two couples. Two love stories. One epic tale. Ninety-one-year-old Ira Levinson is in trouble. Struggling to stay conscious after a car crash, with his mind fading, an image of his adored - and long-dead - wife Ruth appears. Urging him to hang on, she lovingly recounts the joys and sorrows of their life together - how they met, the dark days of WWII and its unrelenting effect on their families. A few miles away, college student Sophia Danko's life is about to change.

Kinda lame but nice
Reviewed: 02-10-2015
It's pretty well what I expected...lightweight, formula fluff....but I wanted something sweet, mindless and pleasant while traveling in Africa and it was all of those.
It's a bit long tho...the Ira and Ruth parts start and midway went on and on but the narrators did a good job.
I watched the movie on the flight home....and for once didn't find it secondary to the book. Shoes the book wasn't much!
No better or worse than anything else of that genre.
