Simple to follow along
Revisado: 05-24-16
HTML Quick Start Guide is a basic overview of HTML. It is straightforward and easy to follow. The audiobook allows you follow along with the reader to build a very basic CV using HTML5. The instructions are simple and easy to follow along. The audiobook comes complete with the PDF version of the book. The PDF is especially helpful for visualizing the code as some of the reading of the code can drag on. If you are not actively typing code while listening to the audiobook, there are whole minutes of code being read that can be skipped. The PDF companion is easier to reference for these sections.
The reader has a light British accent that is easy to understand. The PDF companion is laid out well and offers good visual reference.

"For the love of God, cut off my head." The last request in Uncle Silas's will shocks everyone speechless, everyone except his favorite niece, Anna. More than death itself, the claustrophobic Silas fears a premature burial. Will her elders carry out his request? Anna is certain they will not. It's up to her to do the right thing, even if it is a bit grisly. Armed with butcher knife and candle, Anna heads for the crypt underneath the church in the dead of night. All does not go according to Anna's careful planning.

Ideal listen for a dark and stormy night
Revisado: 03-13-16
Last request is a short story set in Victorian England. It centers around a young woman, Anna, in the care of her aunt and takes place shortly after her uncle's death. The story starts during the reading of his last will and testament where the uncle makes an unusual request. While all the other family members are aghast, she is determined to fulfill her beloved uncle's request.
Last Request: A Victorian is a very enjoyable short story. The narrator does a lovely job. It is an ideal story to listen to on a dark and stormy night.

From 1897 to 1917 the red-light district of Storyville commercialized and even thrived on New Orleans' longstanding reputation for sin and sexual excess. This notorious neighborhood, located just outside of the French Quarter, hosted a diverse cast of characters who reflected the cultural milieu and complex social structure of turn-of-the-century New Orleans, a city infamous for both prostitution and interracial intimacy.

Interesting read-detailed history not overwhelming
Revisado: 12-31-15
Spectacular Wickedness challenges the history you believe you know of the founding of the jazz era in Storyville district of New Orleans. Landau outlines how the ideals of masculinity held during slavery carried over into the turn of the century contributing to the extraordinary culture New Orleans is known for. These ideals combined with separate but equal laws and city officials desire to attract people to the city created a unique culture in Storyville. Racism and sexism runs rampant. These same elements resulted in the decline of the very culture they created 20 years later.
Storyville was known for its sex trade – specifically its trade of light skinned black women to wealthy white men. Lulu White was a well know madam in the midst of it all. Lulu was able to take advantages of this culture to become a successful entrepreneur in a time where there was little opportunity for black women. Landau paints the portrait of an interesting woman misinterpreted (or forgotten) by history.
Very interesting read. Detailed history but not overwhelming. The audiobook narrator was a perfect fit for this book.
