The grave on the football field is shallow, and easy to spot from a distance. It would have been found sooner, had most of the residents in the black half of Birmingham not been downtown, marching, singing, and being arrested alongside Martin Luther King, Jr. Police detective Ben Wellman is among them when he gets the call about the fresh grave. Under the loosely packed dirt, he finds a young black girl, her innocence taken and her life along with it. His sergeant orders Wellman to investigate, but instructs him not to try too hard.

William Stoner is born at the end of the 19th century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar's life, far different from the hardscrabble existence he has known. And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments.

One of the best books I never heard of before!
Revisado: 03-05-17
Would you consider the audio edition of Stoner to be better than the print version?
This audio version is so well done that the print version couldn't have been better.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Stoner?
A momentous book that takes one on a simple yet beautiful journey and then he dies. I was in my car when he was dying and had to pull over because I couldn't stop crying - and I knew from the first two paragraphs he was going to die.
Which character – as performed by Robin Field – was your favorite?
My favorite was Stoner himself.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed and cried - a simple and profoundly moving story I shall think about for a long time.
Any additional comments?
Hemingway would have loved John Williams. Simple superb writing at its best.

The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Every day the same. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

Excellent mystery to the very end.
Revisado: 04-10-15
What made the experience of listening to The Girl on the Train the most enjoyable?
Having the point of view from each of the various characters come out slowly made the mystery emotionally exciting and riveting.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The deeply flawed (and drunk) main character.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
(should be "What does the narrators work bring to the story" - needs to be an object (work) after subject (narrator).
It was voiced be different narrators which definitely helped keep the characters straight.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Hooked into finding out who done it.
