Set in the Rocky Mountains, Legends of the Fall is the epic tale of three brothers and their lives of passion, madness, exploration, and danger at the beginning of World War I. In Revenge, love causes the course of a man's life to be savagely and irrevocably altered. And in The Man Who Gave Up His Name, a man named Nordstrom is unable to relinquish his consuming obsessions with women, dancing, and food.

Harrison at hi best

I liked the movie very much, but the written story is so much better, and the Audible production is outstanding. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Lila, homeless and alone after years of roaming the countryside, steps inside a small-town Iowa church - the only available shelter from the rain - and ignites a romance and a debate that will reshape her life. She becomes the wife of a minister, John Ames, and begins a new existence while trying to make sense of the life that preceded her newfound security. Neglected as a toddler, Lila was rescued by Doll, a canny young drifter, and brought up by her in a hardscrabble childhood.

One of Robinson’s best
Revisado: 10-18-21
I’d read all of Ms. Robinson’s novels prior to “Jack” other than “Lila” and thought I would listen to this simply to re-engage in the world of Gilead before picking up her newest book. What a revelation! “Lila” is her best since “Housekeeping” and may exceed that masterpiece. It is thoughtful, compassionate, spiritual without preaching and such a warm and hopeful book. Highly recommended!

A game of cards leads Flashman from the jungle death-house of Dahomey to the slave state of Mississippi as he dabbles in the slave trade in Volume III of the Flashman Papers. When Flashman was inveigled into a game of pontoon with Disraeli and Lord George Bentinck, he was making an unconscious choice about his own future - would it lie in the House of Commons or the West African slave trade? Was there, for that matter, very much difference? Once again Flashman's charm, cowardice, treachery, lechery, and fleetness of foot see the lovable rogue triumph by the skin of his chattering teeth.

Too racist
Revisado: 04-15-13
What would have made Flashman for Freedom better?
For a book written in the 20th century, the author is clueless about the "humor" he finds in racist jokes, stereotypes and terms.
What was most disappointing about George MacDonald Fraser’s story?
The constant use of the "n-word" was overwhelming, unnecessary and not funny.
Have you listened to any of David Case’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
yes. fine.

In this groundbreaking work, evolutionary biologist Jared Diamond stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history by revealing the environmental factors actually responsible for history's broadest patterns. It is a story that spans 13,000 years of human history, beginning when Stone Age hunter-gatherers constituted the entire human population. Guns, Germs, and Steel is a world history that really is a history of all the world's peoples, a unified narrative of human life.

Should never have been abridged
Revisado: 08-24-10
One of the worst I've ever listened to. My wife and others who had read the book recommended it without qualification. As only the abridged version is available on Audible, I decided to listen to it. Big mistake. It is little more than a recitation of facts and figures with little of the body, color and story that apparently make the full length book so interesting. Another example why Audible should only make abridged an option when the full-length version is available as well.
