Time travel is my jam, and I have been a fan of Stephen King since he scared me into wearing a cross as a preteen after reading ‘Salem’s Lot. This is a fantastic story, and I listened and read it. Both formats work, so choose your poison with confidence.

This was a wild ride as only Mr. King could give us. Let him drive, and don’t wear your seatbelt: you can trust him.

The story was a wild ride and I was sucked in immediately. The story resolved the way I expected, which I do not mind; I will check out the next book in the series — but I will try it in print or ebook because the voices in the audiobook weren’t different enough character to character to easily keep track when there were more than two characters speaking. All of the women sounded masculine and all of the young people sounded very childish. Good story, though, so I recommend this book.

This is a book everyone should read. Most won’t. It’s a hard book, but growth is hard. We can do it. I will try, at least.

An easy way to understand Taoism

Sometimes, philosophy can be intimidating and confusing — but not when explained through the world of Winnie the Pooh. Occasionally, it gets a little Pooh-heavy, but only a smidge and it rights itself.

If you want a charming and direct explanation of Taoism with whimsy and joy, this is the book for you.

This book was among the most important books I have read in my life. It is well written and the narration is exquisite.

The narration gives the text a spirit and intimacy, and listening to great writers, thinkers, and artists made the experience even more poignant.

Readers will meet the most remarkable characters in this book, and their stories will unfold in the most unexpected ways. It’s an amazing ride through the world of loss and love, surprises and second chances, hope and rocky roads. The story builds steadily with the help of reliable narrators.

I do not want to say too much because I enjoyed the unspooling of the tale, but I must applaud the narrators — they brought the book to life, and I am grateful I listened to it.

Hugh grant is a good narrator of this book. There were a few times when the characters’ voices were rather similar — but Dickens was a storyteller, too, and added attribution was perfectly placed for everyone’s sake.

This is an amazing audiobook: the narration is exquisite and passionate, and her voice remains a reliable tool. I am so glad I had to opportunity to hear her read it.

The writing of her personal revelations about her life starts out strong and just keeps getting stronger. I was sobbing by the end of the first chapter as Viola told the truth, her truth, and I was her witness. I am a fan of her work, and this book makes me even more so. Her obstacles are unbelievable, and heartbreaking. Now, I am a fan of her as a person, too.

This book should be required reading in every college, in every degree program. I have read about poverty, but not until Viola revealed her experiences did I truly understand — as much as I am able.

I am profoundly grateful for her courage and honesty. I strongly recommend this for everyone, as they are able.

However wonderful you think this book is, it's more.

Dolly (yes, we're on a first-name basis!) is smart, talented, savvy, funny, humble.... and more; this book illustrates why she is an American treasure. If you want to know more about her, this is a great place to start. And you'll listen to it more than once, even if you're not a re-reader. I mean, it's DOLLY. You can't resist, and you wouldn't want to. Plus, you hear Dolly talk, sing snatches of songs, opine, explain, and laugh. Her laughter makes this book worth every penny or credit you spend on it.

My only quibble is that the narration does not match the book text. It didn't take away from Dolly's words, but there were some good nuggets of information in the written text. When I listen again, I'll read along on the page as well. But don't let that deter you: this audiobook is perfect as it is, and you simply must hear Dolly tell her story.

Listen to this book about this amazing woman, and be inspired.

Andy Weir has proven in each of his books that he can write an edge-of-seat thriller that keeps the reader informed along the way. I am no science nerd, and I don’t have to be. Andy tells you what you need to know when you need to know it, in the most masterful, unobtrusive ways possible If he writes the phone book, I am buying it in every format available.

The audiobook takes it a step further: Rosario Dawson presents Jaz, and every other character, with a flawless performance that brings them to life with an unequalled electricity and humanity.

I salute the author’s vision of the human landscape of Artemis, with a realistic demographic and a surprisingly egalitarian structure. Fiction, particularly science fiction, needs to remain abreast of our evolution beyond the white patriarchy. This book does that subtly and realistically. Thanks, Andy and Rosario, for also making it a rip-roaring ride on the moon.
