Through These Brown Eyes

De: Angelica Robles

Narrado por: Angelica Robles

Angelica Robles is a skilled investigator who has worked at various levels of government. In Through These Brown Eyes, the tables have turned…investigator becomes confessor, telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so helped by her God.

Having lived her early years in Mexico followed by a childhood in a rough Chicago neighborhood, Angelica Robles understands the meaning of "adapt and survive". Childhood injuries and abuse resulted in a thick skin—a negative turned to a positive—which she put to good use during the most extreme criminal investigations over the course of her professional career.

In a profession dominated by men, nothing would hold her back. However, a career is only one aspect of a life lived to the fullest. Love, sex, murder, drugs, betrayal, adrenaline…are you ready for this ride?

The ride is not yet to its destination, but Angelica Robles is driving on a boulevard to rebirth. She hopes that by sharing the bumps in her own road, the road for others may become smoother.

I really wanted to enjoy this book

I wanted to like this story but found it difficult to stay interested. The narration was not good and her tone and pitch aggravated me. I bailed on this countless times hoping it would get better, but didn't.

Read bc of a podcast interview

This book jumped around a lot as far as following a story line. The reader sounded like she was reading and didn’t make it easy to listen to

Wanted to hear more about her husband's criminal family & sadly that was only briefly addressed in the last 30 minutes.

Narration was not good, it felt like she was a librarian reading to a group of kindergarteners.

A common trend in Mexican women

The story had a great meaning and tells the story if many Latinas especially Mexican immigrants or families who chase the American dream and leave the children at risk. The toxic relationship stories and bad choices of strong resilient women. The uttermost Painfull part of this book is the narrator, she has a good storyline but she should not by no means narrate her story because it makes it very painful to finish listening to and want to even continue listening to her book. She should consider classes on how to narrate stories or have someone narrate the story for her PLEASE PLEASE for the sake of your next story. Otherwise the story has commonalities of a permiscuous young women who was a victim of sexual abuse,

2x speed

I heard the YT interview and thought it was and is a very interesting story. I decided to get the audio book and immediately regretted it. The The person sounds like she's reading a children's book..something about her cadence or delivery I couldn't stand. The YT interview was much better.

Not for me

Became aware of this author from an interview she did describing her time in the government and found her very well spoken and her story was powerful. I think the way she described the book was a bit misleading as it focuses on her childhood which isn't necessarily uninteresting but not what I expected. The book is narrated by the author which might have affected the way I digested the story. The reading doesn't flow very well, imagine a kindergarten teacher reading to her students while showing pictures. In the interview she spoke slowly and in her natural tone which made me excited to listen to her narrate her story. In the reading of the audio book she pitches her voice up and the dialog is hard to follow at times since she reads everything in the exact same tone that makes it seem like she's asking a question instead of telling her story. I was very disappointed since I spent my money on this title and not a credit so couldn't get a refund. I can easily sit through 20 hour audio books and only made it 3 hours in due to the grating nature of the narrators voice. I would give it another go in print form but don't recommend listening

Good book

This book is a real page turner, Can't wait for number 2 to hit the market.

Audio is hard to listen to.

I saw this ln tik tok and they emphasized so much around her husband which was interesting. The one chapter about him was the only interesting part of the book. I don’t think she should have read her own book. The cover is pretty.

Not much

If you would like to know more about the author this book is for you.
I did not find it interesting.

The transparency and depth of your story!

The transparency, the detail and depth of your journey , the purpose and the fact that you narrated it yourself .. it allows me to connect even more with you and your story (although we’ve never met, feels like I somewhat know you ) This was very well put together
