I already have experienced personal benefits of music therapy , but learning about actual specific examples was validating and awesome. I’m excited for the future of music therapy. I do feel this book did at times get a bit more complex and detailed than it had to. This made it loose my interest a few times. If i had been reading an ebook or physical book I might have skimmed these sections but with the audio that wasn’t practical. I will say the audiobook is actually a better format for this book though, because the author can hum and play certain musical sequences that emphasize points he is making. This really added to my understanding and I really enjoyed his narration. I received an advanced readers copy from netgalley, but my review is unbiased ...more

The book also brings more awareness to the importance of organ donation and educates about shared/paired kidney donation. There was a small aspect of the story that I didn’t like, but it still was an enjoyable book. I got an advanced “readers” copy of the audiobook from netgalley , but my review is unbiased....more

I am so glad I decided to listen to the audiobook of this book. Hear Michael narrate his story was what the book needed! Michael’s life is fascinating and unique. I learned so much about him. I also as expected learned some behind the scenes info about Seinfeld, including the fact that if Jerry hadn’t fought so hard for him, he wouldn’t have been in the show. The show would NOT have been the same!...more

It had a message that so many (including myself) can use. I loved that their were two couples in this book and the dual point of view. I listened to the audiobook and I loved the narration. Having a different narrator for Kelsey and Georgina was wonderful. I especially loved the narrator for Georgina. There were a few small things that bothered me (for instance apparently the author hasn’t heard of HIPAA because Kelsey would not just be able to call and talk to Georginas doctors without her permission) thanks to netgalley for the advanced audio copy though my review is unbiased ...more

I had been gifted an advanced readers copy of the ebook from Netgalley , but decided to get the audiobook from libro FM after finding out the author is narrating It. My review is unbiased. The author did a great job narrating the book. As for the actual content of the book I did enjoy the book a lot. It was entertaining. I was happy to have a sequel to “The Guncle” and revisit the characters with a few new ones! I will say I think “the Guncle” is slightly better, but “The Guncle Abroad is still wonderful. I laughed out loud many times while reading this book. The scenes played out like a movie in my head. One of my favorite scenes is when Patrick and the kids were doing “the sound of music” reenactment in Austria....more

I loved that Daphne was a children’s librarian. It brought back memories of growing up at the library (that I still go to!) I really enjoyed the lightheartedness of this book especially from the audio book. I still felt emotions but overall it would stop be a good “beach” read.
