Weak story with unbelievable characters
Revisado: 12-03-22
Painful parade of stereotype characters whom undergo no personal change whatsoever. After reading M Connelly books for years this is a hard landing out looking for other crime authors.

May 1992, and after four LAPD officers were acquitted after the savage beating of Rodney King, Los Angeles is ablaze. As looting and burning take over the city, law and order are swept away in a tidal wave of violence. But under threat of their lives, homicide detectives like Harry Bosch are still stubbornly trying to do their job. With no effective police presence on the streets, murder just got a whole lot easier - and investigating them got a whole lot harder.

Maybe the story is a little too 'neat' and the narrator a bit flat, but it's another great Bosch book

This hilarious, heartfelt, and soaring adventure will delight fans of The Goonies and Indiana Jones. Performed as a 1930s radio drama, it’s bursting with humor for all ages, orchestral scoring, and some of the most talented voices on Broadway. When their ace pilot parents (and adorable puppy) mysteriously disappear over the Pacific, the Flamingo Sisters - Flo, Faye, and Franny - escape the clutches of their evil Uncle Freidrich (who believes girls should never pilot aeroplanes) and join a flying circus.

It was January 2021, and Rick Deckard had a license to kill. Somewhere among the hordes of humans out there lurked several rogue androids. Deckard's assignment: find them and then..."retire" them. Trouble was, the androids all looked exactly like humans, and they didn't want to be found!

In these 24 thought-provoking lectures, you'll investigate how social differences based on factors such as region, class, ethnicity, occupation, gender, and age are inseparable from language differences. Further, you'll explore how these linguistic differences arise, and how they both reflect and generate our social systems.

I'm sure she's a nice person but I found this an annoying course. Leaps from assuming you know nothing to using newly introduced linguistic terms without regular examples.

A wealthy man has vanished, a whore has tried to end her life, and an enormous fortune has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into the mystery: a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely patterned as the night sky.

- De: Eleanor Catton

Great characters and well read
Revisado: 12-15-13
What made the experience of listening to The Luminaries the most enjoyable?
The narrator's talent for accents and expressions. And of his the good material he had to work with.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The Frenchman Gasgoine (sp? - I listened to it, not read it!) had a talent for cutting statements.
What about Mark Meadows’s performance did you like?
Great accents (except for his confused Maori accent - he could have just watched any NZ movie to get the idea - instead Te Rau sounded like an unwell Aborigine) and expressive performance. I haven't considered seeking out books read by a particular person but would do for this guy.
If you could rename The Luminaries, what would you call it?
Sphere within a Sphere, because the story rounds on itself so often.
Any additional comments?
I'm not sure the whole 'Signs of the Zodiac/Phases of the Moon' theme added anything to the book.

Bill Bryson was struck one day by the thought that we devote more time to studying the battles and wars of history than to considering what history really consists of: centuries of people quietly going about their daily business. This inspired him to start a journey around his own house, an old rectory in Norfolk, considering how the ordinary things in life came to be.

Snobbish fawning & far too many long lists.
Revisado: 03-21-13
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Viewers of 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous'.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I didn't get there.
How could the performance have been better?
Someone else could have read it. His voice is annoying.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Yes, fascinating subject matter, and interesting stories of peoples' lives and achievements.
Any additional comments?
Wandering.
