The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known...of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect - a man divided in his soul...of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame...and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state, and brother against brother.

Way too much hype
Revisado: 05-22-08
I thought the story was decent, but was very, very overrated...I don't think it's the worst story, but it's definitely not on my list of good ones...I will be skipping the sequel because I struggled to finish this one...I just found the story to be long and drawn out...It was a nice ending, but I didn't really care how it ended because I really didn't like any characters...In my opinion, the gratuitous rape and sadism was a bit overdone and really detracted my interest from the story...

Cynical, quick-on-the-trigger Takeshi Kovacs, the ex-U.N. envoy turned private eye, has changed careers, and bodies, once more, trading sleuthing for soldiering as a warrior-for-hire and helping a far-flung planet's government put down a bloody revolution.

Good once it got going
Revisado: 04-19-08
I liked the book once it got going, but for me it took three hours to spark an interest...Even then my interest wained again until about 5 hours into the book...Altered Carbon was much better than this story in my opinion...I will be ending the series at this book...It just shouldn't take that long to get into a book...

Xenocide is the third installment of the Ender series. On Lusitania, Ender found a world where humans and pequeninos and the Hive Queen could all live together; where three very different intelligent species could find common ground at last. Or so he thought. But Lusitania also harbors the descolada, a virus which kills all humans it infects, but which the pequeninos require in order to transform into adults.

Stop at Speaker
Revisado: 04-04-08
Please....For your own sake stop at Speaker for the Dead...I loved Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead, but this one just dragged on...All I wanted to do was finish the series, but this will be the last one I listen to...The story line is entertaining, but just okay...It's just not at the same caliber as the first two novels...

Pi Patel has been raised in a zoo in India. When his father decides to move the family to Canada and sell the animals to American zoos, everyone boards a Japanese cargo ship. The ship sinks, and 16-year-old Pi finds himself alone on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra with a broken leg, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon it's just Pi, the tiger, and the vast Pacific Ocean - for 227 days. Pi's fear, knowledge, and cunning keep him alive until they reach the coast of Mexico, where the tiger disappears into the jungle.

Good story
Revisado: 04-04-08
I liked the story, but it took about half the audiobook to get interesting...If you can make it half way you'll enjoy the story...This is a story of survival and wit...To add an element of suspense, it would have been nice if the story teller was left unnamed so that you did not know if Pi survived the ordeal....

First Gaiman Novel
Revisado: 04-04-08
I absolutely loved this story...It was slow to draw me in, but once I was caught up in the story I could not get enough...This was my first Gaiman novel and it did not disappoint... The story takes you into the London underground that parallels London above...I found the storyline to be addicting...I liked the characters and development...I will be moving on to the Anansi Boys after this one...

Great story until last hour
Revisado: 12-17-07
I loved the story, but the last hour was boring...It was a great up to the so-so ending, which is why I gave four stars...It's a real life ending...

For more than two thousand years, The Art of War has stood as a cornerstone of Chinese culture, a lucid epigrammatic text that reveals as much about human psychology, politics, and economics as it does about battlefield strategy. The influence of Sun-Tzu's text has grown tremendously in the West in recent years, with military leaders, politicians, and corporate executives alike finding valuable insight in these ancient words.

In the town of Ada, Oklahoma, Ron Williamson was going to be the next Mickey Mantle. But on his way to the Big Leagues, Ron stumbled, his dreams broken by drinking, drugs, and women. Then, on a winter night in 1982, not far from Ron’s home, a young cocktail waitress named Debra Sue Carter was savagely murdered. The investigation led nowhere. Until, on the flimsiest evidence, it led to Ron Williamson. The washed-up small-town hero was charged, tried, and sentenced to death - in a trial littered with lying witnesses and tainted evidence....

Excellent non-fiction
Revisado: 12-07-07
I actually listened to half the book before I realized that it was non-fiction...While this might not be the thrill ride, surprise ending novel, I was thoroughly caught up in the book...To know that the injustice and travesty that can occur due to the malfeasance of lawyers, courtroom officials, and police is astounding...I thought this book was great and definitely would recommend...

Levitt and co-author Stephen J. Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives: how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics, they explore the hidden side of...well, everything. The inner working of a crack gang...the truth about real-estate agents...the secrets of the Klu Klux Klan. What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking, and Freakonomics will redefine the way we view the modern world.

Not a fan
Revisado: 12-04-07
I personally don't know how revised this edition is, but I only tried this title because of all the original rave reviews...Real estate agents and Ku Klux Clan are similar because they hoard information...Sumo wrestlers cheat....Who cares...It did not hold my interest and I cut this one short before I wasted 4 more hours of my life...
