Vera Stanhope- an unstoppable listen!!!
Revisado: 04-28-25
The detail in the book as opposed to what can be included in a television drama is irreplaceable in the full experience as you read or listen to this novel. Excellent character development and insight into the human psyche.

This one had me guessing right up to the final chapters!!! It was a credible and involved plot with a realist cast of characters. There were many insights into the culture of the times. A great listen, we’ll performed!

A perfect walk into what it was to live during WWII
Revisado: 06-19-23
This story gives the reader a realistic look at the mixed feelings and insurmountable odds people faced during World War II. The inclusion of Peter Woodhouse, a Border Collie, is genius. The effects of war on families and children and the ability to survive, integrity intact, all excellently portrayed.

A realistic look at the cost of serving one’s country.

This book gives the reader a clear understanding of the cost of war without disrespecting and dishonoring those who serve.
It is well written and keeps the reader engaged throughout.

One of the best animal tales (true and verifiable) I have read.
Revisado: 07-24-19
There was nothing to dislike in this book. The reader is transported to every scene, present both visually and emotionally. There are endless facts about animal life to be learned and brilliant descriptions of nature. This book is a must for any nature lover.

Gerald Dickens, great, great grandson of Charles Dickens, reads this traditional tale.Oliver Twist is the second novel by English author Charles Dickens. The time honoured story is about the orphan Oliver Twist, who escapes from a workhouse and travels to London where he meets the renowned Artful Dodger, leader of a gang of juvenile pickpockets. Oliver is led to the lair of their elderly criminal trainer Fagin, naively unaware of their unlawful activities.

Absolutely perfect performance!
Revisado: 02-04-19
Having listened to many audiobooks over the years, I can honestly say that I have never heard a performance as excellent, as true to each character and to each regional accent, as well as era as this reader has delivered. He takes the listener directly back to that place and time which Charles Dickens so accurately portrayed.

How Life can Be Lived
Revisado: 02-19-18
This book is a bright and balanced view of life depending on individual choices. It’s depiction of what AA is and how it works is excellent. The realities of the struggles in codependent relationships, addiction recovery and what it takes to rise above a difficult upbringing are very well portrayed. A lot to learn here while on a well written rollicking good ride - which Maeve Binchy always provides. The reader is also tops. It’s been great to be back in Ireland.
