Historia
Stephen E. Ambrose draws from hundreds of interviews with US Army veterans and the brave Allied soldiers who fought alongside them to create this exceptional account of the day that shaped the twentieth century. D-Day is above all the epic story of men at the most demanding moment of their existence, when the horrors, complexities and triumphs of life are laid bare and courage and heroism come to the fore.

Historia
Raised to adulthood during the end of the war, between the human Polity and a vicious alien race, the Prador, Ian Cormac is haunted by childhood memories of a sinister scorpion-shaped war drone and the burden of losses he doesn’t remember. Cormac signs up with Earth Central Security and is sent out to help restore and maintain order on worlds devastated by the war. There, he discovers that though the Prador remain as murderous as ever, they are not anywhere near as treacherous or dangerous as some of his fellow humans.

Historia
One of the most admired nonfiction writers of our time retells the story of one truly fabulous year in the life of his native country - a fascinating and gripping narrative featuring such outsized American heroes as Charles Lindbergh, Babe Ruth, and yes Herbert Hoover, and a gallery of criminals (Al Capone), eccentrics (Shipwreck Kelly), and close-mouthed politicians (Calvin Coolidge). It was the year Americans attempted and accomplished outsized things and came of age in a big, brawling manner. What a country. What a summer. And what a writer to bring it all so vividly alive.

I loved this book. Bill Bryson always manages to take a topic I would not have thought was interesting and turn it into something fascinating.

Historia
An instant New York Times best seller, Dan Lyons' "hysterical" (Recode) memoir, hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "the best book about Silicon Valley," takes listeners inside the maddening world of fad-chasing venture capitalists, sales bros, social climbers, and sociopaths at today's tech startups. For 25 years Dan Lyons was a magazine writer at the top of his profession - until one Friday morning when he received a phone call: Poof. His job no longer existed. "I think they just want to hire younger people," his boss at Newsweek told him.

Historia
Humanity's last encounter with aliens saw 16.2 billion people killed in a war with the Merkiaari that had spanned decades. Two hundred years later, the Alliance is cautiously exploring beyond its borders again, but the survey corp is considered a mere gesture by some. General Burgton of the 501st Infantry Regiment believes a lack of expansion is leading the Alliance into stagnation. So when one small ship discovers a new alien race, it should be an easy decision to make contact, but what if the aliens are like the Merkiaari?

You've seen the aliens known as "the Greys" in movies and on TV. But what if everything you think you know about them is wrong? And what if the Greys are only the beginning? On a nondescript planet on the far side of the galaxy, the M'Uktah have evolved from a wolf-like predatory creature into a highly advanced species that has mastered intergalactic travel. They are cultured. Refined. And hungry.

Historia
A captain who'll take any job if there's enough money in it. A pilot with an agenda of her own. And a mechanic with an eye on the pilot. The crew of the Fives Full are just trying to make enough money to keep themselves in the black while avoiding the attention of a government so paranoid it's repealed Moore's Law. They're not looking for adventure in the stars...but they're not going to back down just because something got in their way.

The narrator was expressive, but the writer's story was a gem. I am heavily invested in Michigan's marriage, and want to know what happens next! The plot was borderline formula, but I get the sense the writer was getting better as the story progressed.

Daughter Approved
Revisado: 01-25-16
What made the experience of listening to Shirley Jane and the Mystery of the Golden Monkey the most enjoyable?
My daughter got really into listening to the story, and it was a fun experience watching her.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Shirley Jane and the Mystery of the Golden Monkey?
The selection of "Sherlock Holmes" for the assignment. I enjoy his writings.
What about Giselle Lumas’s performance did you like?
She has a wide range, performs with different voices, and does not have an accent (accents while beautiful can make listening hard).
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Just the reaction of watching my daughter enjoy it.
Any additional comments?
There should be more of a push to get children into audiobooks. My daughter was so enthralled with this one. I am grateful to have received this review copy and to have had this experience with my daughter.

Historia
In Short Answers to the Tough Questions, Dr. Ruwart has compiled hundreds of questions and her short, succinct answers from her 15-year web column with The Advocates for Self-Government. Short Answers is a great resource for libertarians, candidates, and those who are exploring what libertarianism is all about.

More of the same
Revisado: 11-02-15
Would you listen to Short Answers to the Tough Questions: How to Answer the Questions Libertarians Are Often Asked again? Why?
No. I got everything I needed the first time.
Would you recommend Short Answers to the Tough Questions: How to Answer the Questions Libertarians Are Often Asked to your friends? Why or why not?
If I ever encounter a person with burning questions about Libertarians - sure.
What does Marie Rose bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She narrated the book in a clear unaccented way I enjoy. I am a fan of narrators that do not embellish or "interpret" what they are reading. She does an excellent job delivering the content in a smooth and relaxed voice.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
What does this question even mean? It is 8 hours and 17 minutes long. I have listened to a book in a day, but there were interruptions. This book was a bit beyond my interests for me to listen to in one sitting. Also, I received the book for free so I could review it. And I can honestly say it's hot stuff if you are a Libertarian, but I am not. I think I am a Scorpio, or at the very least a person who takes beliefs and politics serious enough not to form an opinion after one book.
Any additional comments?
I would have found the book more engaging with a primer on Libertarianism. I would at least like to know a basic history and a few interesting characters. This whole subject was a bit of a head scratcher. I remember being enthralled by the subject a five years ago, but now it just feels naive. When I was in my early twenties I read Atlas Shrugged and thought it was amazing. Now I am more interested in how real people deal with real life.
