Consistently good series
Revisado: 06-13-17
Would you listen to Favorite Science Fiction Stories, Volume 9 again? Why?
Probably...some time in the future.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Favorite Science Fiction Stories, Volume 9?
Too many to list.
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, I've heard quite of few of these volumes. All good in my opinion. Especially liked they way they use different narrators for variety. Nice touch.
Any additional comments?
Surprised to see some did not like the narrators. Different strokes, I guess. The sample should help you decide for yourself.

Historia
When Gianni Bozzacchi accepted an assignment as a photographer on the set of The Comedians (1967), he didn't know that his life was about to change forever. His ability to capture the beauty of candid moments drew the attention of the film's star, Elizabeth Taylor, and prompted her to hire him as her personal photographer.

Rags to Riches and Life with the stars
Revisado: 04-03-17
What made the experience of listening to My Life in Focus the most enjoyable?
Just a very good and true story of a kind of Italian Horatio Alger. Went from sleeping in the hallway of his parents house to living with the greatest stars of the time...Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
What was one of the most memorable moments of My Life in Focus?
His visit with Princess Grace and Prince Ranier
Have you listened to any of James Killavey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
One of my favorite narrators. Did his usual good job which could not have been easy. Lots of tough names and places as well as a smattering of Italian.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There were moments of both. Some very funny true stories but...without giving any spoilers..the author had some real tragedies in his life.
Any additional comments?
Finished the whole thing in two days. It usually takes a week for a book of this size but this one made it hard to stop. Excellent.

Historia
Humanity's first reusable spacecraft and the most complex machine ever built, NASA's space shuttle debuted with great promise and as a dependable source of wonder and national pride. But with the Challenger catastrophe in 1986, the whole space shuttle program came into question, as did NASA itself, so long an institution that was seemingly above reproach. Wheels Stop tells the stirring story of how, after the Challenger disaster, the space shuttle not only recovered but went on to perform its greatest missions.
