It was a time when the music was Swing, and Harlem was king.

Nice history - suffered through the narration

Interested in hearing the stories of development of the Lindy Hop, but if I wasn’t very interested in the topic I would have never finished. Besides the narrator being a little jarring there was little to no editing. There are several points where she makes a mistake (anyone would I’m not faulting her for that) but they didn’t edit it out, she starts over. This didn’t happen often but it speaks to the lack of care taken with putting the recording together. In comparison the Frankie Manning book was done much more professionally. I’d love to see this re-recorded.

Welcome to Chromatacia, where life is strictly regulated by one’s limited color perception. Civilization has been rebuilt after an unspoken “Something that Happened” five hundred years before. Society is now color vision—segregated, everything dictated by an individual’s visual ability, and governed by the shadowy National Color in far-off Emerald City. Twenty-year-old Eddie Russett, a Red, is about to go on trial for a murder he didn’t commit, and he’s pretty certain to be sent on a one-way trip to the Green Room for execution by soporific color exposure.

Worth the wait
Revisado: 05-10-24
Fforde has delivered. This series is a departure from his other works, and while I love Thursday, Jack Spratt, hibernation and rabbits, I always thought SoG was his most interesting and imaginative work. I listened to it when it first came out (so long ago), and was thrilled when he finally delivered on book 2 (I couldn’t wait for May so I managed to get a signed copy of the book from the UK where the book came out 3 months ago). I’m now finally getting the chance to listen to the book and it’s fun all over again. Great job Mr Fforde for the wonderful sequel and Mr Harper for the narration. I’m sorry that Jasper wasn’t able to do a book signing in Brookline, MA so I didn’t get to ask him if he doesn’t like tea.

For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about. Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis’ taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19.

Great audiobook
Revisado: 06-09-21
The narrator was great, the book was wonderful. I appreciate the work Michael Lewis does to present all the information into a very compelling narrative. This book was another great example of him doing just that. Adenrele Ojo who did the narration was great.

Tornadoes, cyclones, tsunamis… Weather can be deadly – especially when it strikes without warning. Millions of Americans could soon find themselves at the mercy of violent weather if the public data behind lifesaving storm alerts gets privatized for personal gain. In his first Audible Original feature, New York Times best-selling author and journalist Michael Lewis delivers hard-hitting research on not-so-random weather data – and how Washington plans to release it.

Very interesting as one would expect from Michael Lewis. I’d listen gladly to this again if it was 10 times the length.

Young Eddie Russett has no ambition to be anything other than a loyal drone of the Collective. With his better-than-average red perception, he could well marry Constance Oxblood and inherit the string works; he may even have enough red perception to make prefect. For Eddie, life looks colorful. Life looks good. But everything changes when he moves with his father, a respected swatchman, to East Carmine. There, he falls in love with a Grey named Jane who opens his eyes to the painful truth behind his seemingly perfect, rigidly controlled society.

Loved the book

I've been a fan of Jasper Fforde since his first novel and have listened to them all on audible. This story is different than his others, and was a little harder to get into initially, but in the end it was very well worth it. I can't wait for more in the series.

The messages waiting for Henry Pierce when he plugs in his new phone clearly aren't intended for him. They indicate something has gone terribly wrong for a woman named Lilly. Pierce probes, investigates, and then tumbles through a hole, leaving behind a life driven by work to track down and help a woman he's never met. Connelly's latest is "a grabber from the beginning...utterly compelling."

Waste of time
Revisado: 01-14-03
The previous reviewer (Dwight Fischer) was right - I only wish his review had been up when I downloaded this book.
I kept trying to get into the story, but the main character is so dumb, and never gives the reader/listener a reason to care about his quest. The story is unbelievable - both in the reason for his quest and the dumb things he does.
In the end you just end up asking yourself, why? Why is the main character so dumb. Why should we care about his quest. Why does it have such a high rating, I'd give it zero if I could.
