Story4.5 out of 5 stars 36
Portugal has a rich history that dates to prehistoric times. The first settlers left amazing art behind in the form of rock carvings and rock monoliths. Even though Portugal is probably best known for exploring the world during the Age of Discovery, the history of mainland Portugal is rarely described outside of the country. The purpose of this audiobook is to familiarize English speakers with the events and personas that built the Portuguese kingdom, its overseas empire, and the state that Portugal is today.

This book did a very good and detailed job of covering most of Portuguese history. The narrator especially was my favorite part of this audiobook. I would have enjoyed this book better if I were to read it more often and take notes because there is a lot of different changes that occur throughout Portuguese history which also make it interesting. definitely recommend if you're looking for a book that gives you a solid overview of Portugal's past.

Carrot Quinn fears that she's become addicted to the Internet. The city makes her numb, and she's having trouble connecting with others. In a desperate move, she breaks away from everything to walk 2,660 miles from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail. It will be her first long-distance hike.

Thru-Hiking did break my heart lol...not really though but definitely wasn't a good read or listen. I found this book on the audible charts as one of the most popular under the hiking category. Not sure why this would be a top read/listen. The story wasn't very exciting. I did enjoy the detailed relationship between Carrot and her companions but that was about it. The Narrator is honestly my biggest complaint. Erin Spenser, the narrator, has a fun bubbly personality that does not match the story and personality of Carrot Quinn the author. I would not recommend.
