As he struggles to be a good officer, Ted Conover angers inmates, dodges blows, works to balance decency with toughness, and participates in prison rituals - strip frisks, cell searches, cell "extractions" - that exact a toll on inmates and officers alike. The tale begins with the corrections academy and ends with the flames and smoke of New Year's Eve on Conover's floor of the notorious B-Block. Along the way, Conover also recounts the history of Sing Sing.

I’ve worked in a correctional facility for 30 years. I read this book when it was released. It’s honest reflection gave me insight to the inmates and coworkers I interacted with everyday. The good, bad, frustrating, daily life in a large cell block is here. Pulling pins to open cells, running around to let people in and out, intriguing conversations with the inmates on the block. The expectations of the job conflicting with my belief that fair treatment should be possible is all here. This book gave me hope.

The complete unabridged audiobook of J.R.R Tolkien's The Silmarillion. The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien’s world. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part.

Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything.

Amazing.
Revisado: 01-03-21
If you are successful, happy and in a good place this book, like all of Fredrik Backman’s books, will remind you that there are people who are struggling. That there is so much more depth than you can imagine to the people around you.
If you are struggling, sad and need help this book will give you hope. That when you least expect it people are more compassionate and understanding than you would expect them to be.

This is more than a Bible you listen to; it’s an experience that helps you enter God’s word...so God’s word can enter you. Narrated by George Sarris, a well-known spokesperson for several Fortune 500 companies and a talented communicator, this audio edition of the Old Testament in the beloved New International Version (NIV) will reignite your passion for the word of God.

Really disappointed
Revisado: 03-17-18
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
It’s 2018, computers and Audible are not new entities. I have been waiting for this new release hoping that they would get the searchable aspect corrected. They did not. Why call a section part 1 when it would have been totally possible to name it and each other numbered section by the name of the book?
What was one of the most memorable moments of NIV, Audio Bible, Pure Voice: Old Testament, Audio Download?
The narration is great. No extra distracting music in the background.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The narration is great.
Any additional comments?
Get it right next time. People want to find the book they are looking for. This same complaint was raised about older editions. Listen to what people are asking for.

Before he retired, J. P. Beaumont had looked forward to having his days all to himself. But too much free time doesn't suit a man used to brushing close to danger. When his longtime nemesis, retired Seattle crime reporter Maxwell Cole, dies in what's officially deemed to be an accidental fire, Beau is astonished to be dragged into the investigation at the request of none other than the deceased victim himself. In the process Beau learns that just because a long-ago case was solved doesn't mean it's over.

Tad Williams' books may be long, but they are too amazing to put down. I've read all his books, now I can relax and listen while I imagine worlds that are fantastically created in great detail.
