Historia
From the elections of Barack Obama and Donald Trump to the tragic events of Ferguson and Charlottesville, the subject of race has come to the forefront of American consciousness. Legendary satirist D. L. Hughley offers his own cutting observations on this contentious issue that continues to traumatize the nation, a wound made more painful by the ongoing comments and actions of the 45th president. Hughley uses humor to draw attention to injustice, sardonically offering advice on a number of lessons, like "How to make cops feel more comfortable while they're handcuffing you".

Great way to learn history with humour. Nice to have a honest perspective on old teachings. No sugar coating!

Historia
Born to an unmarried woman who dies after giving birth, orphan Oliver Twist seems destined to slog through a dismal life in the workhouse. A rebellious cry for more gets Oliver banished, and ultimately lands him on the dismal streets of London. The young outcast finds refuge with Fagin and his band of thieves before fate intervenes and puts Oliver in the hands of a kindly benefactor. It is likely that Dickens's own early youth as a child labourer contributed to the story's development.

Historia
Before he was considered a CIA superagent, before he was thought of as a terrorist's worst nightmare, and before he was both loathed and admired by the politicians on Capitol Hill, Mitch Rapp was a gifted college athlete without a care in the world...and then tragedy struck.

crap crap crap wish I could return it.
Revisado: 04-18-15
Would you try another book from Alexander McCall Smith and/or Lisette Lecat?
Not a chance, unless it has a return policy if it sucks like this book
Would you ever listen to anything by Alexander McCall Smith again?
Doubt it.
What didn’t you like about Lisette Lecat’s performance?
The book went no where and did not hold my attention. The worst book I have ever listened to.
What character would you cut from The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon?
I would change some of the names as that became irritating after a while.
Any additional comments?
Books that customers take a chance on should be returnable as I would have ditched this book at chapter six.

A gripping story. Hard to stop listening
Revisado: 02-01-14
What did you love best about Broken?
Very clever story, takes the listener through to a completely different ending than expected.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The lead male, though his name escapes me. Because he was not as hardened as he pretended to be to his peers.
Have you listened to any of Annie Aldington’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the daughter was kidnapped.

Hard to get into, appears to jump around a little
Revisado: 02-01-14
What did you like best about Ballistic? What did you like least?

Yes, This is the only one so far that has been below par.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Narration good, but the story was just not that strong.
