Leonard and Hungry Paul

De: Ronan Hession

Narrado por: John Hopkins

Leonard and Hungry Paul is the story of two friends who ordinarily would remain uncelebrated. It finds a value and specialness in them that is not immediately apparent and prompts the idea that maybe we could learn from the people that we overlook in life.

Leonard and Hungry Paul change the world differently to the rest of us: we try to change it by effort and force; they change it by discovering the small things they can do well and offering them to others.

Love it!

I enjoyed listening to this book very much! The characters are so well drawn, unique, wise, funny, and warm. (I am still wondering why Paul is named "Hungry Paul"? )

An antidote to a loud world

This story is wonderful. It is a beautiful antidote to a world where celebrity, wealth and drama are prized and ordinariness is deemed unworthy. A world where gentleness, kindness, patience, and other quiet virtues fade and only the loudest voices get heard, whether they have anything useful to say or not. It restored something in me, something that felt very lonely and lost, perhaps the quiet part of my soul.

Thank you to author and narrator for bringing this intelligent and nuanced portrait of friendship and integrity to life.

fantastic

Absolutely love love love this book. Lovely people, trying hard to live kindly and be understood.

Story about kindness and affection

The humor is subtle and deep. Truth spoken here to lift up a weary soul.

Sweet story, excellent narration.

The story is so gentle and kind and sweet. I was pleasantly surprised. John Hopkins’ voice is silky smooth and really works well in this book. He captures all of the funny bits really well.
