The stories are great as always, but I shouldn't have to suffer through the narration. Fix it please!

The stories in this book are based upon actual events. During the course of her research into some of South Carolina's classic tales, Nancy Roberts heard accounts of happenings in the recent past and even the present day. They're all here: from the famous Gray Man of Pawleys Island who warns of coming storms to the ghost of the poor fellow whose small plane went down in the 1950s near Walhalla, leaving him to forever hitchhike Highway 107.

Great Stories, Poor Narration
Revisado: 11-09-20
A great collection of ghost stories about old South Carolina. While they are enjoyable, the delivery falls flat. This book is unfortunately ruined by a terrible choice of narrator. The narrator constantly takes awkward pauses in the middle of sentences (kind of like when someone takes too long to turn a page, loses their place, and then needs a moment to get going again), and goes out of her way to over enunciate every word. I'm looking for an enjoyable read, not a speech class. Frankly it wouldn't hurt to have a book about South Carolina read by someone with a southern accent; the few times the narrator attempts one it is painful to listen to.

Millions of fans of Little House on the Prairie believe they know Laura Ingalls - the pioneer girl who survived blizzards and near-starvation on the Great Plains, and the woman who wrote the famous autobiographical books. But the true story of her life has never been fully told. Now, drawing on unpublished manuscripts, letters, diaries, and land and financial records, Caroline Fraser masterfully fills in the gaps in Wilder's biography.

Prairie dud.
Revisado: 09-02-19
This book is so much more about Rose Wilder-Lane, Laura Ingals-Wilder's daughter, and her issues. Lane comes across as spoiled, selfish, and an anti-Semitic. This book is so extremely boring, I constantly fell asleep while listening to it. My book club picked it. May God have mercury in their soaps when it's my turn to pick, because I will not!

When Theodore Roosevelt became president in 1901, his beautiful and flamboyant daughter was transformed into "Princess Alice", arguably the century's first global celebrity. Thirty-two years later, her first cousin Eleanor moved into the White House as First Lady. Born eight months and 20 blocks apart from each other in New York City, Eleanor and Alice spent a large part of their childhoods together and were far more alike than most historians acknowledge.

Did you know that most of our dinosaur fossils were discovered because two grown men absolutely hated each other? It’s true! Rivals! Frenemies Who Changed the World is a riotous audio exclusive, like if Monty Python taught your history class. Each volume of four 30-minute histories will dig into the petty name-calling and grumbling grudges that led to many of the world’s greatest advancements, all delivered with a cheeky sense of humor. Choose sides: Cope or Marsh, the jerks who discovered so many dinosaurs; Hamilton or Burr, whose rivalry fueled American politics; and many more....

Revisado: 07-08-18
Please stop abridging good books! What could have been a good story is lost, and instead you end up fumbling around trying to figure out what's going on. A shame.

Good Story, Disappointing Ending
Revisado: 03-11-18
The story was great, even though the publishers still insist on abridging. Hopefully some day they will figure it out and stop hamstringing great books that way. The abridgement left the ending very anti-climactic, and the reader is left dissapointed, knowing there was much more there but being denied it. Outstanding performance by Johnathan Davis.
