Never is an extraordinary novel, full of heroines and villains, false prophets and elite warriors, jaded politicians and opportunistic revolutionaries. It brims with cautionary wisdom for our times, and delivers a visceral, heart-pounding story that transports listeners to the brink of the unimaginable.

Stanley cannot find meaning in his life. Work is an endless drudgery serving only to pay bills. After being unemployed for six months, he can’t even do that. Religion doesn’t make sense. His family is the only thing that has any meaning in his life, but even that gets turned upside down when he is offered a two-month contract on the other side of the country and he has to leave his family behind. His cross-country road trip gets strange right away as he reluctantly picks up an enigmatic hitchhiker who takes him on a difficult but soul-fulfilling road trip of self-discovery.

In the grand storytelling style that is his signature, James Michener sweeps us back through time to the very beginnings of the Jewish faith, thousands of years ago. Through the predecessors of four modern men and women, we experience the entire colorful history of the Jews, including the life of the early Hebrews and their persecutions, the impact of Christianity, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition, all the way to the founding of present-day Israel and the Middle East conflict.

Corey Douglas and his K-9 partner, Simon Garfunkel, have recently retired from the police force. Not ready to give up the life yet, they come up with a proposal for fellow former cop, Laurie Carpenter, and her investigating partner, Marcus. They call themselves the K Team, in honor of Simon. Their first job as private investigators comes to them from Judge Henry Henderson, who's known as a very tough but fair judge, and they've all come up against him in court at one time or another. Though it's hard to believe, Judge Henderson is being blackmailed and extorted.

Half hearted effort

Seemed like not much effort put into this story. Some situations and incidents were identical to previous books. Really didn’t like the narrator

Though Jack Kerouac began thinking about the novel that was to become On the Road as early as 1947, it was not until three weeks in April 1951 that he wrote the first full draft that was satisfactory to him. Typed out as one long, single-spaced paragraph on eight long sheets of tracing paper that he later taped together to form a 120-foot scroll, this document is among the most significant, celebrated, and provocative artifacts in contemporary American literary history.

Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is 12, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.

Where does All the Light We Cannot See rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best books I've listened to that brings to life the characters, the sights, smells and sounds of the times. I was totally transported to being with the characters in their lives and experiencing their travails

The final book of Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove tetralogy is an exhilarating tale of legend and heroism. Captain Woodrow Call, August McCrae's old partner, is now a bounty hunter hired to track down a brutal young Mexican bandit. Riding with Call are an Eastern city slicker, a witless deputy, and one of the last members of the Hat Creek outfit, Pea Eye Parker, now married to Lorena -- once Gus McCrae's sweetheart. This long chase leads them across the last wild streches of the West....

A bit of a let down
Revisado: 05-28-15
Character development was weak and did not offer adequate information to make relationships believable-? Pea Eye and Lori - what and where was the spark that United them? Never saw it. Joey was not a complete character- just a bad boy-
This was one of those "hurry up and write an ending " books - disappointing

Throughout these books, Follett has followed the fortunes of five intertwined families - American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh - as they make their way through the twentieth century. Now they come to one of the most tumultuous eras of all: the enormous social, political, and economic turmoil of the 1960s through the 1980s, from civil rights, assassinations, mass political movements and Vietnam to the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, presidential impeachment, revolution - and rock and roll.

Political sycophant
Revisado: 12-17-14
What disappointed you about Edge of Eternity?
His obvious disgust with anything conservative slants his view of history in such a distasteful way that it made me want to go back and un-read this book. If you believe that no conservative has ever done anything worthwhile and all liberals are perfect - you will love this book.
Has Edge of Eternity turned you off from other books in this genre?
No - only his
