It’s the summer of 1973, and Joe Castle is the boy wonder of baseball, the greatest rookie anyone has ever seen. The kid from Calico Rock, Arkansas, dazzles Chicago Cubs fans as he hits home run after home run, politely tipping his hat to the crowd as he shatters all rookie records.

Revisado: 08-06-13
What made the experience of listening to Calico Joe the most enjoyable?
I felt I was THERE, in the story!
Who was your favorite character and why?
The narrator, the writer, because I identified with is character.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed and cried! It really made me think about my own childhood and how we played baseball in the field at BBQ's or in the park on weekends, how I wanted to play 3rd base JUST LIKE MY DAD... I had a dream...
Any additional comments?
This story really showed me the behind the scenes relationship of pitchers and batters; their "rules".

Why we think it’s a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand’s done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared....

What did you love best about Unbroken?
An amazing story wrapped up in a lesson of history, geography,endurance and perseverance!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Unbroken?
Some of the things that happened to the POWs in the prison camps was very hard for me to listen to; I wept at the strength and faith of these men.
What does Edward Herrmann bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I would have struggled with the Japanese names and phrases.
Any additional comments?
I was humbled and educated by this book. Well worth listening to.

The Corrections is a grandly entertaining novel for the new century - a comic, tragic masterpiece about a family breaking down in an age of easy fixes. Richly realistic, darkly hilarious, deeply humane, it confirms Jonathan Franzen as one of our most brilliant interpreters of American society and the American soul.

Don't waste your time or $$
Revisado: 09-19-12
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I just kept waiting for the story to pick up or get interesting and it NEVER did. What a complete waste of my time and money!
What was most disappointing about Jonathan Franzen’s story?
It was boring. The story line was dull.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
I won't throw the baby out with the bathwater...the narrator did the best he could with the material he had.
