Ursula Rosien
Eleanor Oliphant is a book that will challenge your idea of depression and dealing with severe childhood trauma. Although this may sound like a sad book, on the contrary, it is a story of quiet perseverance.
I just finished the audiobook and the narrator with everything! It's a unique love story told by narrator, and I think the audiobook made such a difference. Listening to the book you can tell what the narrator is saying versus reading the book the narrator and the main protagonist get mixed up in my head. I would highly encourage you to check this out from the library, I read it for free in my Libby app.
From the devo in my my Bible app: “ You will create new trenches of truth. Our brains have neural pathways—mental ruts we created through repeatedly thinking the same thoughts—which trigger our automatic response to external stimuli. To stop a behavior, we need to remove the lie behind it and replace the neural pathway”
The brain + The Bible” BOOM.
I found this book in my Libby app. The title and cover caught my eye. It's a unique sci-fi story told from the point of view of an alien. The narrator was superb. Highly recommended.
Listening to this book again. So many quotes I need to write down but so far I have this one: “The greatest gift you can give to the world is the story God has written for you.”
In the beginning the plot was interesting then the plot turned pretty predictable and somewhat chessey.
Although I shelved this book as for children,I would give it to a teenager graduating from highschool. Jason Reynolds has written the book I would love to write one day! This book is a gem.
