Felix Francis best book yet

Revisado: 10-18-18

Better then I expected. This reminded me very much of his father Dick FRANCIS. I haven't lived all of Felix's book but this one was excellent. note for those listening with young children around this book contains a rather a sex scene, it's not super graphic but they do talk about sex a fair bit leading up to it.

An adults opinion: Things you should know

Revisado: 09-29-14

As an adult I listen to a lot of YA books. I've ready pretty much everything Scott Westerfield has written and enjoyed them all. So when I saw Afterworlds was available from Audible I bought it.
Here are the things I wish I had know before I purchased it:
1. There is A LOT of swearing in this book. The F*** word is used liberally through out the book.
2. This book really deals with adult themes; including terrorist attacks, gay romance, child abduction/murder, death, etc. I usually listen to books with my kids in the car (which is why I choose a lot of young adult). I felt that this book was inappropriate for my elementary school age children to listen to.
3. This book is really two stories in one. It switches back and forth between the "real" world and the "fiction" world. This was really confusing for the first little bit.
4. This book is really well written with a captivating story line.

Excellent Read--Xmen form the normal peoples view

Would you listen to Steelheart again? Why?

Yes. In fact have already listened to it twice. The narration was excellent, the writing was exciting and suspenseful. I totally thought I had this book figured out and then there were a couple of twists at the end that were surprising. I've read Brandon Sanderson before and I really liked his science fiction, this is totally different, a different style, but excellent. I listen to a wide variety of audio books and this is the best I've heard in a long time. If your thinking about buying it, just do it. You won't regret it.

I liked it (I usually reads mysteries and science fiction)
My husband liked it (he usually reads biographies and science fiction)
My 3rd grade son liked it (he really likes the Rick Riodern, and the Harry Potter books). This book does have some violence in it but both my husband and I felt it was appropriate for my son. The content is on the same level as the Rick Riodern books.

Don't pass this book by because it is a Young Adult book. It is definitely a great read for adults.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

We were listening to this in the car and my son kept asking me if we had anywhere else to go because he wanted to listen to the end.

Ann Hathaway gives and amazing preformance

Revisado: 12-21-13

Would you consider the audio edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to be better than the print version?

Yes, I recently read the Wonderful Wizard of Oz in print and I really enjoyed it. We were looking for an audio book to listen to in the car on during a car trip and I thought this kids would like this one. I loved listening to it. My kids were very interested in it (they haven't seen the movie so it was all new to them), and so were my husband and I.

Any additional comments?

Ann Hathaway gives an amazing performance. Her reading of the book is outstanding. The book is of course a little different from the movie. This was a great read for the entire family.

A clean mystery.

Revisado: 12-21-13

Where does Murphy's Law rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was a great read.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Molly is such a great character, full of fire and persistence.

Have you listened to any of Nicola Barber’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't listened to Nicola Barber before but I loved her performance. She has a great voice and does the accents well,

Any additional comments?

I like to listen to Audio books in the car with my family. It is difficult to find adult books that are appropriate for my young kids to listen to. I do love to listen to kids and young adult books but it is so refreshing to listen to an adult mystery that is not full of sex and graphic violence. This book does have a love interest and there is some kissing but nothing graphic or that I would feel uncomfortable with my kids hearing. The book is a murder mystery and so there are a few deaths in the book, but no graphic violence. I look forward to listening to all the Molly Murphy mysteries.
