Based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, who survived alone for almost five years on an uninhabited island off the coast of Chile, The Mysterious Island is considered by many to be Jules Verne’s masterpiece. “Wide-eyed mid-nineteenth-century humanistic optimism in a breezy, blissfully readable translation by Stump” (Kirkus Reviews), here is the enthralling tale of five men and a dog who land in a balloon on a faraway, fantastic island of bewildering goings-on and their struggle to survive....

I took this gem for granted when I read it many years ago. It ended to abruptly.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 13,010
Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians - but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life.

Where does Heart of Darkness: A Signature Performance by Kenneth Branagh rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This has been top two of the performances heard so far.
Any additional comments?
For the fun of it after listened to the book in its entirety, I went to Sparknotes and took a test on the material to see what I had retained. It was effective for someone with ADD.

In 1994, Driven to Distraction sparked a revolution in our understanding of attention deficit disorder. Now a second revolution is under way in the approach to ADD, and the news is great. Drug therapies, our understanding of the role of diet and exercise, even the way we define the disorder, all are changing radically. And doctors are realizing that millions of adults suffer from this condition, though the vast majority of them remain undiagnosed and untreated.

Wonderful material
Revisado: 11-12-12
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I will recommend this book to every person I know and many I will meet.
What did you learn from Delivered From Distraction that you would use in your daily life?
I learned a great many things about my situation and the oulets to help me cope and grow a s aperson.
Any additional comments?
Whisper-sync does not seem to work. Also, the only problem with this recording is that the chapters are improperly titled. For someone with ADD this is almost a deal breaker. It forced me to listen to the entire book as opposed to jumping around to areas I need first.

What would have made Super Study Album better?
The chapters are untitled and it is up to the listener to figure out which is which. This production is weak and jumbled.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
N/A
Any additional comments?
This did nothing to help me study, sleep or concentrate. I reccomend specific Podcasts over this collection of noises.

In a scrap heap within an abandoned factory, the greatest invention in history lies dormant and unused. By what fatal error of judgment has its value gone unrecognized, its brilliant inventor punished rather than rewarded for his efforts? In defense of those greatest of human qualities that have made civilization possible, one man sets out to show what would happen to the world if all the heroes of innovation and industry went on strike.

Classic made difficult by narration
Revisado: 11-12-12
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is an important book. The narrator Scott Brick uses different voices for characters. Some of the weaker characters come off overly irritating and the female voices are too breathy. This makes for a difficult listen in some instances.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Pick up the pace and drop the whining voices.
Any additional comments?
The whisper-sync does not seem to be working.
