Ernest Hemingway said, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn". One hundred years after its author’s death, this classic remains remarkably modern and poignantly relevant. In this new edition, Elijah Wood reads Huck in a youthful voice that may be the closest interpretation to Twain’s original intent. His performance captures the excitement and confusion of adolescence and adventure.

Masterful Narration
- De Michael Balzoa en 03-11-11
Excellent even if you have read or heard it before
Revisado: 12-06-10
This is truly one of the masterpieces of American literature and the narrator, Elijah Wood, gives an excellent reading of the work. His voice changes to match characters and the story flows along so well. I hated when it ended.
One of the best listens I have had from Audible.

An innocent man is about to be executed. Only a guilty man can save him. Travis Boyette is such a man. In 1998, in the small East Texas city of Sloan, he abducted, raped, and strangled a popular high-school cheerleader. He buried her body so that it would never be found, then watched in amazement as police and prosecutors arrested and convicted Donté Drumm, a local football star, and marched him off to death row.

Dreary, preachy, overdramatic, just plain bad.
Revisado: 12-06-10
I have listened to and read about a half a dozen John Grisham novels and for the most part enjoyed them. This one is the exception. It is over the top preaching against the death penalty. The characters are stereotypes, the young wild attorney practicing law only for the good of humanity. All the white authority figures are evil, scheming to execute as many people as they can regardless of guilt. All the black characters, warm and loving family members, who are preyed on by the SYSTEM!!!!
After about 90 minutes, I had to turn it off. That is the first audible tape I have not listened to all the way to the end. Do yourself a favor and listen to any of Grisham's older works, you wont be as disappointed as I was about the Confession.

Caesar Augustus has been called history's greatest emperor. It was said he found Rome made of clay and left it made of marble. With a senator for a father and Julius Caesar for a great-uncle, he ascended the ranks of Roman society with breathtaking speed. His courage in battle is still questioned yet his political savvy was second to none. He had a lifelong rival in Mark Antony and a 51-year companion in his wife, Livia. And his influence extended perhaps further than that of any ruler who has ever lived.

Excellent history and interesting narrative
Revisado: 04-15-09
For anyone interested in the history of Rome after Julius Ceasar, this is a fascinating book. The story of how Octavius became Ceasar Augustus and the conflict between him and Marc Antony make it read as a historical novel, and shows that the truth can be more interesting than fiction. It gives a clear understanding of how the republic gradually became dominated by one man. The narrator is excellent and he brings life to so many characters involved in the action.
