Origins, Revised and Updated: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution

5/10
This one is pretty dated. It actually made me appreciate how far astronomy (used very broadly) has come in the last 15 years or so. As expected there were some very insightful parts and some parts that just seemed like they rambled on and on.
Honestly, this probably would have been 7 or 8 out of 10 but the narrator was so bad I wanted to quit several times.

I stepped outside my favorite genres with this one. I don't typically read/listen to love stories/romance, but I saw this on the shelf at the store and liked the title, so here we are.
A lot of the book was what I imagine a standard run if the mill romance novel is, but with a couple different twists. What I really liked is that while this was about 2 men in love, it could have been just the same if it was a man and woman. It helps show that love comes in many different forms, but it is still love. It also helped open my eyes to a few things that undocumented people have to live with, that I had just never thought about before (things like not having the possibility of health care).
It has a two explicit scenes in it, so just know that's there.
I wouldn't say this was one of the most enjoyable books I've ever listened to, but I think it has a great message

This book was very informative about scientology and all of the demands it puts on its members.
I'm very glad that the author read it so I could hear her emotion, and accent.
It isn't easy to leave something that was so much a part of your life. Bravo for having the guts to write this book. Hopefully it gives someone the strength the need with whatever challenges they're facing

I'm much older than the target audience, but this book didn't really grab me at all.
The plot was decent, but the ending was pretty predictable - although I enjoyed reading how it all came together.

This isn't really a book, it's just a presentation he gave with q and a after. More like a podcast
Anyway, I really liked what he had to say, but it rings pretty hollow knowing he sold whole foods out to Amazon

this one is ripe for 2.75 stars, but Goodreads doesn't allow that. Thankfully I'm not on Goodreads now.
it was an interesting premise and I liked a lot of the exploring how life would change if we could truly know our soulmate through DNA sequencing.
the first 3/4 was all pretty good and compelling storytelling, but if the 5 or 6 storylines, I very much didn't like all but one and a half of the endings. I probably would have given this 4 stars if the endings were better, but it ended up leaving a sour taste. it was good though that I'm going to continue with the series - hopefully the others don't let me down.
