Excellent!

Of course I picked this up because of the show! I am so glad that I've been introduced to the series.
It is right up my alley! It's an easy read, but very eventful and exciting. It is not one of those fantasy novels that goes overboard with language and you have to re-read things several times in order to sort through what the author is trying to say.
I think it's clever and witty. I'm so excited to keep going.

Historia
At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves. The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother.

Wonderful book
Revisado: 12-17-19
I listened to this book because of David Sedaris promoting it during his tour.
I can see why he did. Not only was it a great story, but three are definite parallels between this book and his life. There were times that I could almost hear Sedaris reading, rather than Tom Hanks - who was fantastic.
I bought the ebook as well because sometimes when I love a book, I'll steal a few minutes here and there throughout the day to read a little further. I couldn't bring myself to do it with this book. Tom Hanks really brought the story alive.
I'm very upset I'm finished with it. I truly enjoyed every moment.

Worst narration ever!

Good stories. The narration sucks. It sounds like a second grader reading out loud to the class. There is no sentence continuity. Sometimes she ends a sentence but then it turns out there is more to it.
but, whatever.

Historia
Beck is everything Joe has ever wanted: she's gorgeous, tough, razor-smart, and sexy beyond his wildest dreams. Joe needs to have her, and he'll stop at nothing to do so. As he begins to insinuate himself into her life - her friendships, her email, her phone - she can’t resist her feelings for a guy who seems custom-made for her. So when her boyfriend, Benji, mysteriously disappears, Beck and Joe fall into a tumultuous affair. But there's more to Beck than her oh-so-perfect façade.

I thought this book was really interesting!! It is always different seeing things from the stalker POV. The performance was just creepy enough to sound somewhat sane but convey the insanity. I thought it was well done!

Historia
When reserved flight attendant Bianca gets one look at billionaire hotel owner James Cavendish, she loses all of her hard-won composure. For a girl who can easily juggle a tray of champagne flutes at 35,000 feet in three inch heels, she finds herself shockingly weak-kneed from their first encounter. The normally unruffled Bianca can't seem to look away from his electrifying turquoise gaze. They hold a challenge, and a promise, that she finds impossible to resist, and she is a girl who is used to saying no and meaning it.

Revisado: 10-17-19
I liked this story. It is a bit over-the-top with the overused storyline of ultra successful guy and gorgeous woman who doesn't know she's gorgeous, but nevertheless the backgrounds of the characters is interesting. I will be listening to the next book to see what happens.
The writing is alright, but I'm so sick of the phrase "long minutes." So weird. Who lets someone stare at them for long minutes mid-conversation without saying anything?
The narration is good. It flows well. It's definitely a good book considering the intentions.

It was a very good story with a not-to-obvious.
I was hoping it would be more suspenseful, but it was still alright.

Revisado: 08-09-19
I think these stories were pretty interesting! They were maybe a little cheesy, but in a good way. it was like listening to an old time radio program. I saw one reviewer go on about awkward silences and it almost made me not get it. There weren't any awkward silences that I came across.. There was always something going on. Maybe make sure the volume is up? I'm glad I decide to opt for it anyway!
I listen to these things while commuting and I'm sad it's done.

It’s a war filled with larger than life characters. There will be sledging, accusations of cheating, theft and performance enhancing drugs. And allegations that Australia was cheated out of a Guinness World Record. In the process of charting the scandal-plagued race to breed the world’s hottest chilli, the audio documentary lifts the lid on the subculture of ‘Chilli-heads’, hardcore chilli fans spread across the globe who compete in chilli eating and breeding competitions.

What an amazing journey! I wasn't sure about choosing this selection but I'm very glad I did. We dabble in growing our own peppers and making sauce.. not for glory but just for fun, and listening to this story added another level to our hobby.
It is an interesting story despite the peppers.

Historia
The star of truTV’s hit show Impractical Jokers - alongside veteran sci-fi and horror writer Darren Wearmouth - delivers a chilling and wickedly fun supernatural novel in the vein of The Strain, in which a beautiful new subway line in New York City unearths an ancient dark horror that threatens the city’s utter destruction and the balance of civilization itself.

I preordered this book forever ago and started reading the hardcover version, when I realized that I didn't want to wait until I got home from work to continue. I downloaded the audio book and I couldn't be happier with my decision.
We are huge Murr fans in my house but I was a bit apprehensive to order the book. I'm so glad I did. It is my preferred genre. It's so well-written and I didn't find it to be too predictable. I'm upset with some events, but that's a good thing. I listen to a ton of audio books and this is my favorite fiction reading yet. He is fantastic.
I would love to see a movie or series based on this.
I'm guessing that there will be at least a sequel and I can't wait for it. Well done, and thank you for a great read and performance.

Historia
When Candace Bushnell started writing her “Sex and the City” column for the New York Observer, she didn’t think anyone beyond the Upper East Side would care about her adventures among the Hamptons-hopping media elite. But her struggles with singlehood struck a chord, making her a citywide - and soon nationwide - sensation. Beverly Hills, 90210 creator Darren Star brought Bushnell’s vision to an even wider audience when he adapted the column for an HBO series.

Revisado: 07-07-18
It was really interesting to get the back story of the show. It got really weird halfway through when she started skewering the show for not being feminist enough. I think it was the context and maybe the verbiage used - I dunno, but it made me feel uncomfortable like being at someone's house when they start yelling at their partner. It was odd. I did like it overall though.
