Narration Rating - 5 out of 5 stars


I was a little disappointed about this book. All because of an assumption made by me. When I read the title I thought it was going to about all different types of vaping not just about the rise and fall of Juul. As a former vaper myself I thought it would be a good look into all aspects of vaping but I quickly realized it was all about Juul which I have never used.


With that being said this was a very interesting book. I learned a lot about the technology of Juul and the consequences of vaping. I also learned some interesting things about Juul and how their company rose and fell quite rapidly. Even to the point that most of the major players are not even involved with the company anymore. Also that they struggled with the same things I struggled with when I was vaping.


I loved the narrator. He made what could have been a very boring book very interesting. With a quick tempo (I always listen to review books at 1x speed.) Also he was very upbeat through the whole thing.


All in all I would strongly recommend this book to people who have considered vaping, teens, and parents that may have found out their child is vaping. I wish I would have read/listened to it before I started vaping that is for sure.


Reviewers Note - I vaped for years to try to quit smoking. I never did quit smoking and now have lung damage as a result of vaping. I do not of some of the more severe side effects that were described in the book but I now have to have a rescue inhaler on me at all times and am taking the same daily drug that COPD patients have to take. Even though I don’t have COPD. I am back to smoking regular cigarettes and some of the damage has reversed. I don’t cough as much and my chest does not constantly hurt. Some may ask why I didn’t just quit both. I will say this, nicotine is very addictive. I was hooked from my very first cigarette and now smoke about a pack a day. It is not easy to quit but I have several times for long periods of time and after listening to this book will be taking another try at it in the near future.

Review of author Christine K. Fields

Genre Children’s Books I read three books by this author and all three were 5 star reads for children! I read Alphabet Stuff With Nuff, Saving Money Makes Cents,  Teamwork Makes Dream Work all by this author.  The Alphabet Stuff With Nuff book is a great way to get pre-K kids excited about learning letters and counting. It is all done in rhyme and had me laughing in parts. I would recommend the adult read through it a couple of times before reading it to their children. There are some wicked twisters in this one. The goal is to get your children to learn their alphabet and simple counting while you read the book. They have to count each time that letter comes and add them up. The answers of the number of letters in each rhyme are thankfully in the back of the book. The other two books I would say are more of kindergarten age book, One teaches about saving money and how fast it goes if you don’t pay attention. Something I have to say I have not learned at my age. This is perfec...

Windswept by Annabelle McCormack

Windswept Saga Book 1 Narrated by Elizabeth Grace Genre - Intrigue, Mystery, Romance Rating - 5 out of 5 Narration Rating - 5 out of 5 This book had me hooked from the beginning. It was so full of twist, turns, and mysterious circumstances that it just grabbed me in and I hated to stop listening even for bed. This book is sent in 1917 during WWI in Egypt. It has a lot of different characters but they are very easy to follow. It is about a woman thrown into a world of murder and mayhem in the war-ravaged Arabian desert where one wrong turn can get you killed. She has no clue who to trust and people keep showing up telling her that she can trust them but she has no idea which one is telling the truth. I have to give a shout-out to the narrator for keeping the book flowing and also her wide range of voices for each character. I think that is why while listening to this book I could keep each person separate.  I would highly recommend this book in audiobook format or book f...

A Cowboy Christmas Legend by Linda Broday

Genre - Christmas Fiction Rating - 5 out of 5 stars I picked out this book because of my ongoing obsession with cowboys. Plus I wanted to get into the Christmas spirit early this year. This book definitely didn’t disappoint.  This book is about a Texas Ranger running from grief and a women coming to grips with her own past. As they work together they end up bonding together to help rescue and take care of a Mother and her two children plus helping with a case for the Texas Rangers. The plot is a very stereotypical romance but it did not disappoint. With all the happy endings that we all look for at Christmas time. So if you are looking for a nice easy Christmas book to read I would definitely recommend this steamy Christmas read.
