Steinbeck at his best

Revisado: 11-22-19

Very well performed which unfortunately can’t be separated from the novel even if the novel is remarkable if it’s poorly performed-well this is audible - too the novel which depicts very accurately the poverty and humiliation American farmers and folks of the land suffered.

Homeland: Saul’s Game is riveting but

Revisado: 09-21-19

I’m afraid I didn’t enjoy the narrator. I’m an avid Audible listener and have listened to so many in the past year with narrations superior to Ms. Penelope Rawlins. I may be a minority in this view but beauty is the eye of the beholder. One example of her work I found very lacking was her voicing of male characters...

Another great Mosley book about Socrates Fortolow

Revisado: 09-11-19

Socrates is the distillation of all the best and worst of what America has done to black men and women. Although he self confesses that he’s been a murderer he haunted by the evil acts and sees himself as evil all the while struggling to be heard and seen as a man who in the end wants to redeem himself but refuses to debase himself-yet his heroic acts towards his dying friend as it was towards the black dog brings him closer to trouble and even jail.

Mosley presents us with multiple realities of life and society through the trials and tribulations of Socrates

Revisado: 09-08-19

Socrates, from the beginning wraps your attention to the fast moving events of his life, never holding back his past as a two time murder and rapist while ingratiating you with his charm. The charm coming forth from his forthright nature and determination to make amends for the man he was...hard to put this book down!

Wonderful and unexpected collection

Revisado: 08-02-19

This was a very fascinating book narration by George RR Martin giving us a rare insight into his life as a writer and individual as he prepares us for the collection of stories. Some of those stories are from his previous works, novelas and others he chose to be in this book.

Some of the stories I plan to read again as they were complicated in their plots and outcomes and other simply left you pondering for days! An excellent read.

Incredible book with suspense and intrigue

Revisado: 07-17-19

Martin writes a very different book then Game of Thrones. This book from the beginning holds us in suspense beautifully crafted and narrated it weaves in the life of river boats their captains crew, slavery and vampires. It obviously takes place in the 1850’s along the Mississippi River and entwines the life of a scruffy rough river boat captain Abner Marsh and his new partner Joshua York the sophisticated vampire.

Another great Audible by George RR Martin

Revisado: 06-29-19

I have read all of the five Audible books re Game of Thrones this and one earlier about Egg! I’m happy to be sharing that the quality of his work continues as does the narration of the books.

I’m clearly hooked and happy to be ☺️

As good as the five books of the game of thrones

Revisado: 06-14-19

After finishing book five I was sad because we do not yet have books 6 & 7.

Although this audible book is only 10 or so hours it was riveting. I highly recommend it...

Spellbinding

Revisado: 02-26-19

Rob Inglis does a remarkable job narrating this classic. J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit although written over 85 years ago is a timeless piece of literature. I highly recommend this particular audio book read by Mr. Inglis.

Captivating book by Deborah Harkness

Revisado: 02-17-19

I started this book after reading all of the Harry Potter books with my ten year old daughter. I’m delighted to say that I was captivated and downloaded the other two books in the trilogy.
