Story
The so-called Tibetan Book of the Dead has been renowned for centuries as a cornerstone of Buddhist wisdom and religious thought. More recently, it has become highly influential in the Western world for its psychological insights into the processes of death and dying - and what they can teach us about the ways we live our lives. It has also been found to be helpful in the grieving process by people who have recently lost their loved ones. This authoritative translation preserves the form and spirit of the original and was prepared especially for Western audiences.

LONG BOOK THAT YOU WILL MISS WHEN IS OVER
Reviewed: 07-03-20
I love Japanese Cultural. There is about 5 characters in this book, all with different lives but interconnecter. The philosophy of Musashi fascinates me. I love the book. Thanks to Brian Nishii for write this book. It so difficult to find a good book that you miss when is over. I will read this book several more times.

Well done documentary or book
Reviewed: 06-10-20
I really do not know if the story was true or not, but the writer has a great idea, you are guessing until the end. Moves fast, you get inside the book since the first page.
Something funny I have to download every chapter by itself because the audible did not do it.

Story
University student Anna Winslow has gone missing. The circumstances of her disappearance are far from ordinary, a fact that only fellow student Melissa Lopez appears to appreciate. Motivated by an unexplained and disturbing voicemail message from Anna on the night of her disappearance, Melissa's curiosity quickly turns into a deeper investigation, an obsession even, which she chronicles as a regular podcast - the very recordings that you are about to listen to.

AND ANOTHER BOOK WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY FOR ME
Reviewed: 06-07-20
Sands Xe, the one that does the voice of Karen is she going to start crying in a moment. Karen was married after only know her boyfriend for several months, become widow after 5 months of been married, and now she does not know what to do with her life. Ainsley O'Leary her sister is another loser.
In my entire life, I had a lot of dead people around me, but people died and we continue living, keep the good memories and forget the bads, and the people around me, do the same. I think is only in books or movies that the people destroy the lives because so one pass away. No life is to beautiful, natural and animals so special that the only force we need to live is us.

When I started this book, I said, another person that can not continue living because it lose someone and it does not see the beauty of life.
But not, Christina White has a good imagination and has the ability to bring you inside the book since the first line.

Desde una patria a punto de esfumarse, dos familias de distintas regiones de Prusia, los Schipper y los Hahlbrock, huyen, junto con su pueblo, en un éxodo suscitado por los horrores de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Prusia existía separada de Alemania aunque no de su fervor nacionalista ni de las bombas que extinguen una vida y perdonan otra.

Una historia diferente de la Segunda Guerra
Reviewed: 05-21-20
Cuando empece este libro casi no sigo, ya que me habia prometido en no leer libros con este tema.
Pero Peregrinos nos pinta una historia diferente. El amor de los Alemanos por su pais y por Hitler, solo esperaban que se tubieran cosas mejoras para Alemania.
Nunca habia oido mentar a Prusia lugar escogido por los Alemanas para el origen de Comida vegetal y animal para los soldados de la guerra. Estos alemanes no se enteraron de la muerte de los Judios, les importaba que Alemania Ganara.
Se da uno cuenta de los sufrimientos y sacrificios en una guerra.
Sofia Segovia tiene un estilo lindo de escribir, y si es verdad cuando le cuentan a uno la historia como un cuento es fascinante y ella te hace sentir el frio de la nieve en tu cuerpo, el hambre el viento en tu cara.
Lo considero uno de mis mejores libros en los ultimos 5 años.
