Guidance
Reviewed: 01-24-23
I found guidance, understanding about how a break up affects one mentally and emotionally and options for next steps that were very helpful. I usually don’t like short books, but in this instance, I’m glad it’s short. I can go back and listen gain and again as often as I like.

Invest in Learning
Reviewed: 06-23-19
Success results from studying the subject matter, figuring out how to overcome the obstacles, and enjoying the process.
Two of the author’s ideas struck me:
1. Sometimes you have to invest in failure.
2. Learn to be comfortable feeling uncomfortable.

What made the experience of listening to Replay the most enjoyable?
I listened to this book after hearing some one review the book on NPR. It was a summer series a few years ago where people talked about their favorite books and after hearing the review, I had to read it. Don't we all wonder what it would be like to live your life over? Don't you wonder what you'd do differently? This book explores the idea.
What did you like best about this story?
The story line was great. Also liked the fact that the early parts of the book take place in areas of Atlanta that I am familiar with.
Have you listened to any of William Dufris’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Don't know if I've lisened to any of Mr. Dufris's other performances.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, definitely. I found it easy to get into.
Any additional comments?
You won't be disappointed.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,635
In this Hugo-winner from Connie Willis, when too many jumps back to 1940 leave 21st century Oxford history student Ned Henry exhausted, a relaxing trip to Victorian England seems the perfect solution. But complexities like recalcitrant rowboats, missing cats, and love at first sight make Ned's holiday anything but restful - to say nothing of the way hideous pieces of Victorian art can jeopardize the entire course of history.

I took a chance on this book - I wasn't familiar with the author and only saw one other review but I really liked the synopsis. I'm glad I did. It was quirky and entertaining.
