The true nature of our government agencies revealed- and it’s very bad. Extremely well written book exposing the sociopaths running our country’s “watch dog” departments. Pure corruption. Unfortunately, the narration was a boring, sing-song delivery.

Dr. Fung breaks it down CLEARLY for the novice

Dr. Fung’s one of the few doctors who’s broken the chains from allopathic medicine brainwashing, which prescribes lifetime medications for curable diseases. He’s really my very favorite Doc, and I’ve purchased all his books both in audio & paperback format. AND I’ve given the Diabetic Code to three of my friends & family. One was able to completely reverse his type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Fung’s abundance of common sense makes him my most trusted resource.

Bought this book because of its 4.7 rating. What a disappointment! I think I suffered through chapter 10 because I was trapped in the car, but I’m done with this mediocre book.

And this narrator unbearably grates on my nerves. He has the snobbiest of English accents, and EVERYONE sounds like an old man even if they’re in their teens. Roy Dotrice was a very poor choice with a stunted range. This book requires the vast talents of someone like Robert Glenister, who would’ve offered a magnificent & absorbing performance.

I loved the series and watched it twice, but I can’t listen to this. I wasted a credit.

Exceptionally written, reminiscent of an edge of your seat spy novel, but it’s all true! The reader was likewise perfect and sounded much like the author. Terrifyingly, we’re headed for deep trouble….

Could not stop listening, one of those rare books, which sucks you up into its tangled web. The narrator was absolutely amazing!! From English, to Irish, to American accents; old, young, male or female, she did it all with precision.

As the book’s beneficiary, I understood the plot better than the main protagonist, but still the fine-tuned details remained totally fascinating. Loved it!

Best audiobook I’ve listened to in 2019. My heart is swept up by this amazing family.

Both the book and documentary are utterly inspiring. Dayton Duncan and Ken Burns are my hero’s. Only wish either Duncan or Shelton Johnson had narrated. I found most the commentators either robotically miscast or slightly chaffing to the ear. Although I’m sure their nice people :)

First off, I’d give the narrator 6 stars if I could.
Secondly, Liane Moriarty created beautiful and interestingly normal characters, all human, funny, and intelligent in their own ways.

Having suffered the identical tragedy, her acute depth of emotions was right on. I loved the book and every single person in it, including Marsha. Moriarty is a genius.

Not funny or witty, but self-congratulatory and lectury.

This “artist” takes himself way too seriously. The only chapter that made me crack a smile was when he stalked his ex-girlfriend to Jamaica. It could have been hilarious, but since he doesn’t know how to be self-deprecating his over-the-top behavior was rationalized.

Also, his writing style drove me crazy. As if he sat with a thesaurus to make his average sentences sound intelligent. Made it to chapter 9 to where “I could stands no more”.
