Flora 717 is a sanitation worker, a member of the lowest caste in her orchard hive, where work and sacrifice are the highest virtues and worship of the beloved Queen the only religion. But Flora is not like other bees. With circumstances threatening the hive's survival, her curiosity is regarded as a dangerous flaw, but her courage and strength are assets. She is allowed to feed the newborns in the royal nursery and then to become a forager, flying alone and free to collect nectar and pollen.

This is a great, 'take me away' type story

What made the experience of listening to The Bees the most enjoyable?
I do a great deal on non-fiction reading so every few books, in order to give myself a break, I'll read a light hearted one. I found, "The Bees" to be a great choice!!! I'd even listen to it again.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 256
The long-awaited autobiography of legendary singer Tom Jones, following six decades of unparalleled experiences in the spotlight to coincide with his 75th birthday. Across six decades, Sir Tom Jones has maintained a vital career in a risky, unstable business notorious for the short lives of its artists. With a drive that comes from nothing but the love for what he does, he breaks through and then wrestles with the vagaries of the music industry, the nature of success, and its inevitable consequences.

The Tom Jones we didn't know
Revisado: 12-17-15
Would you consider the audio edition of Over the Top and Back - the Autobiography to be better than the print version?
Johnathan Pryce's narration makes it seem as if Tom Jones himself is telling the story.
What about Jonathan Pryce’s performance did you like?
Wonderful voice he sounded like I imagine Tom Jones would sound if he were speaking.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I thought the book was extremely interesting. To be honest, I'm not a big Tom Jones fan. There are a few of his songs that I love and the rest...well, I can leave them. There is tremendous honesty in this story and he comes off quite funny in many places! I came away with great respect for Tom Jones, who apparently, despite his being seen as a sex symbol for decades, remains faithful to his wife to this today.
Any additional comments?
It was a great listen. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to find other narrations by Jonathan Pryce.

Hillary Exposed
Revisado: 08-09-13
What made the experience of listening to Hell to Pay the most enjoyable?
I was very much surprised to read about how treacherous Hillary actually is when outed from behind her mask of moderation.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I have always had a less than favorable opinion of the Clintons but this expose of Hillary's desire for power at ANY cost was even shocking to me.
