When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, Mrs. Quine just thinks her husband has gone off by himself for a few days - as he has done before - and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home. But as Strike investigates, he discovers that Quine's disappearance is no coincidence. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were published, it would ruin lives - meaning that almost everyone in his life would have motives to silence him.

You could pray, or meditate, or dream, or visit a shaman, or a minister, or a hypnotherapist. With so many routes into inner consciousness, why write? Of all the ways to get in touch with God, as you understand God...to hear the small, still voice pointing you in the right direction...why take the time to write? One reason: it works. It works amazingly well. If you want to engage in a vibrant conversation with the wisdom that dwells just a hair below your conscious awareness, write.

A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what.

Yes if I knew what the genre was.
How could the performance have been better?

Inside a teen's head dealing with grief
Revisado: 01-31-14
What did you love best about Heft?
Learning how a teen deals with grief.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The teen due to his battles and conquests during the hard teen years.
Any additional comments?
I was pleasantly surprised when the first character's reading changed over to a teen boy's reading! It made the story more interesting rather than listening to an overweight adult moaning about his life. I am hopeful for a part two of "Heft."

Of all of John Irving's books, this is the one that lends itself best to audio. In print, Owen Meany's dialogue is set in capital letters; for this production, Irving himself selected Joe Barrett to deliver Meany's difficult voice as intended. In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys – best friends – are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary and terrifying.

Revisado: 06-05-13
Would you consider the audio edition of A Prayer for Owen Meany to be better than the print version?
Not sure
What did you like best about this story?
The uniqueness of the story.
Which scene was your favorite?
The weekend before the death occurred. It was very relaxed as two old friends got together one last time.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
A story so bizarre only John Irving could dream it up!
Any additional comments?
I misunderstood some parts of the book due to the long-windedness of the writing. But it was quite visual which I enjoyed.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I have recommended this to someone who has leukemia.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Anna - the 13 year old in the story. She is so strong.
Which scene was your favorite?
Probably the one with the dog, Judge, when his owner is about to have a seizure.
If you could take any character from My Sister's Keeper out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Anna because I love the precociousness of teens.
Any additional comments?
The ending really fooled me. Sad, bittersweet but provided comfort in the last sentences. Thank you for that Jodi.

America is a barren landscape of smoldering ashes, devoid of life except for those people still struggling to scratch out some type of existence. Amidst this destruction, a father and his young son walk, always toward the coast, but with no real understanding that circumstances will improve once they arrive. Still, they persevere, and their relationship comes to represent goodness in a world of utter devastation.

To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It is where he was born and grew up; it's where he lives with his Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep and play. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years. Through determination, ingenuity, and fierce motherly love, Ma has created a life for Jack. But she knows it's not enough...not for her or for him.

Rock stars!
Revisado: 12-24-12
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No! This book dragged on for way too long. I kept hoping the Townsend would give me some reason to like him but it never happened. Perhaps if someone else had narrated, I would have liked him better.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Different narrator.
What three words best describe Pete Townshend’s performance?
Ho-hum, dull, so-so
Was Who I Am worth the listening time?
no!
Any additional comments?
I suppose if you're a huge Who fan, then you'll appreciate this book more than I. I wanted to learn more about Townsend and the band but instead I ended up not liking him as a person at all. Spoiled, cheating, arrogant rock star!
