This was a thoroughly enjoyable series. Loved the pacing, character development, and interesting twist-turns. You can’t wait to get around the next corner and see what’s there!

While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, many of us simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin? Add in paralyzing emotional attachments and constant life challenges, and it can feel almost impossible to make real decluttering progress.

Those words made the difference in being overwhelmed by stuff and gaining control of my house. This book is the answer I've been looking for and have quickly and easily gotten my house and life in order. It's such a relief to find a method that works for me! As I listened to, (and then read the Kindle version), it was as if something magical happened in my brain. I finally "got it!" Thank you, Dana, for your recipe for success!

Story4 out of 5 stars 2,069
In a locked Honolulu office building, three men are found dead with no sign of struggle except for the ultrafine, razor-sharp cuts covering their bodies. The only clue left behind is a tiny bladed robot, nearly invisible to the human eye. In the lush forests of Oahu, groundbreaking technology has ushered in a revolutionary era of biological prospecting. Trillions of microorganisms, tens of thousands of bacteria species, are being discovered; they are feeding a search for priceless drugs and applications on a scale beyond anything previously imagined.

Honey, I Shrunk Your I.Q.

- A Novel

Not what I've come to expect from a Crichton story
Reviewed: 05-29-14
What did you like best about Micro? What did you like least?
Interesting concept, but seemed to be missing something. Understandable since it was not completed by Mr. Crichton. I think it needed a few more edits and re-writes to get it to the level of story telling we've come to expect from Mr. Crichton.
Would you recommend Micro to your friends? Why or why not?
Probably not. The micro world is cool, but the villain is predictable, and the resolution is unsatisfactory.
How could the performance have been better?
The book was set in Hawaii, which was exciting for me. However, the narrator needed to learn to pronounce the Hawaiian words. It was excruciating listening to him butcher Hawaiian place names and common words. I was surprised he didn't take the time to consult with someone prior to the performance.
Do you think Micro needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
If it did, I wouldn't spend the time reading or listening to it unless I got an incredible review from a trusted friend.
Any additional comments?
You can't win them all.

Anyone who saw an episode of Saturday Night Live between 1999 and 2006 knows Rachel Dratch. She was hilarious! So what happened to her? After a misbegotten part as Jenna on the pilot of 30 Rock, Dratch was only getting offered roles as "Lesbians. Secretaries. Sometimes secretaries who are lesbians." Her career at a low point, Dratch suddenly had time for yoga, dog- sitting, learning Spanish - and dating. After all, what did a forty-something single woman living in New York have to lose?

It's funny, (of course), touching, and insightful

I bought and downloaded this book immediately following Rachel's appearance on The Jimmy Fallon Show last April. This was such a fun listen! I loved that Rachel narrated it herself. She has been one of my favorite comedians for years and this book is a great insight into what makes her the talented entertainer that she is. I started and finished this audiobook in one day because I couldn't stop listening! It's funny, (of course), touching, and insightful. It was so entertaining, I'll be "re-reading" this one, for sure.
