The Possibility of Everything: A Memoir Audiobook

" Really can't finish it at this point. It has not pulled me in to a story that I want to keep reading. So, now I finished it but it wasn't worth it. "

" I would highly recommend it - I LOVED it!!! Not only is it an interesting, suspenseful story, but I could relate to the feelings the author describes about motherhood and marriage and the skepticism and struggle to believe. "

" I wanted to shake the parents in this memoir. I had to force myself to read this book, and I only bothered because I'd paid $10 for it. I didn't find any of the characters very likable. I also thought the whole middle of the book was more boring than a calculus textbook. Way too much detail on the Maya pyramids and all, which had very little to do with anything. I expected this book to be gripping and emotional, but found it dull and annoying. "

" If this rating system would allow, I would have given this book 3 1/2 stars. This book was a quick read for me. The writing was smooth and kept my interest throughout. I couldn't put it down because I was dying to know how Maya would end up as well as how Hope, Maya's mother and the author, would evolve. Or if she WOULD evolve. I didn't know much about the Mayan's before reading this book other than their calendar and how advanced their civilization was. I learned a great deal more about their social structure, their buildings and their spiritual beliefs. I found it fascinating how in Belize no one bats an eye over the belief that a small child's imaginary friend is connected to her spirituality. I loved that they understood and still understand that spirtiual/mind/body are all linked together. And here in America we think we are advanced! I found the subject matter to be extremely interesting and if you are interested enough in the summary of this book to pick it up, then you will most likely feel the same way. The only negative I had about the book was that while I was dying to find out the spiritual answers to Maya's problem, I was led through the history and intricacies of the Mayans and the interactions of this family with other resort guests. However, now that I've finished the book, I feel that all of these contributed well to the story and gave a well rounded picture of this family and what led them on this path of searching for answers, other than the typical answers one would find in our modern world. "

" While having an interesting subject matter, it was difficult to get into because of the interrupted flow of the writing. Then again, maybe memoir's aren't my thing. But I'd recommend checking it out at the library first, "

" Interesting nonfiction. A bit of spirituality. "

" Couldn't make it past page 7, and even that was hard. "

" I loved this book. very gripping and insightful "

" LOVED it! Going along on the journey to help heal her daughter was amazing. "

" A really beautiful memoir of Edelman's experiences with her family in Belize. Worth picking it up almost solely for the writing! The full review on One Librarian's Book Reviews. "

" This was a book club pick and it was not interesting to me, but appealed to a lot in my book club. "

" Another book about a mother-daughter relationship (this time the daughter is 4) as the family takes an exotic vacation. "

" Very interesting book. I enjoyed her writing style. "

" Good read for a mom of a young child. I felt like the author was a bit overproctective and histronic and times, but overall, I enjoyed the book. "

" This book outright annoyed me. I expected so much more than what it ended up being. The mother in the story annoyed me. I thought it was going to have true mystic to it, and really it was just her making excuses for her daughters poor behavior. "

" I'd heard great things about this book, so I expected to love it more than I did. Maybe I would have liked it better if I hadn't had such high expectations going in. I enjoyed the descriptions of Belize, but I didn't really connect with the author's story like I thought I would. "

" Another book about a mother-daughter relationship (this time the daughter is 4) as the family takes an exotic vacation. "

" Parts of this book were just ok. "

" What a great book, from a great author! Not the typical book I would read, but I highly recommend this book. Edelman intrigues readers throughout the book... It flows so nicely. Can't wait to read more book by her. "

" Loved Edelman's writing style. The book is great but a little slow at the end. "

" The author gives a look into a difficult time in her life and shows the reader that in her journey she has learned so much. I was grateful for the emotion and the honesty she showed. "

" Good - read it straight thru - just not as gripping as I thought it should be "

" Interesting nonfiction. A bit of spirituality. "

" Wow! Very interesting, had no idea in would fold so well into many things I believe and am interested in!! "

" currently listening to audio book Just could not get into it - I listened to 4 of the 9 discs and just have no interest in finishing "
