The Spinning Jenny was invented in 1770, and with that, a new era of manufacturing and industry changed lives everywhere within a generation. A world filled with unrest wrestles for control over this new world order: A mother’s husband is killed in a work accident due to negligence; a young woman fights to fund her school for impoverished children; a well-intentioned young man unexpectedly inherits a failing business; one man ruthlessly protects his wealth no matter the cost, all the while war cries are heard from France.

Not Follett’s best

Setting, story, plot, and character development just not as well done as other books in the series.

James Patterson leads you into the darkest recesses of the mind with this chilling, immersive audio thriller. We meet Brent Quill, a frustrated actor trying to take his game to the next level. When he learns about the intensive Method acting process, he dives in deep—and immediately lands the lead role in a TV series about a brutal serial killer. But when the Method’s controversial techniques start to take over Brent’s psyche, the lines between real life and acting begin to blur dangerously. How far will Brent go to “become” the character?

A rollercoaster ride
Revisado: 11-11-23
What an audiobook should be: full cast, delivery as if you were there, great sound effects, drama, suspense, and a page turning don’t stop until it ends storyline. Bravo.

Disjointed
Revisado: 11-07-23
Too much territory to cover (environmental destruction, corporate greed, aliens, human transformation/evolution) with insufficient plot and character development.

The course is organized around a mnemonic device, developed by Professor Freeman, that can serve in any negotiation situation. Called "I FORESAW IT," this indispensable framework guides you in assembling the strongest possible case, showing you how to evaluate such factors as creative options, independent criteria, and your best alternative to a negotiated agreement.

Very well organized material presented in a logical fashion with relevant anecdotes. Only shortfall is the professor gets a B not an A for his public speaking skills.

A Wicked Twist
Revisado: 01-31-23
Just like Wicked upturns the Wizard of Oz, Moriarty turns the table on Sherlock Holmes. Many purist reviewers are upset by this twist. Ignore them and just enjoy the ride. It is well worth the trip.

Against the backdrop of worldwide, unexplainable natural disasters, Dr. Virginia Marilyn Edwards (Emmy Award-winner Kerry Washington) seeks out Agent Scott Thomas (Emmy Award-winner Laurence Fishburne) at a secretive government headquarters. Virginia claims these events are signs, and unless Agent Thomas helps her, she believes things will only get worse. Her desperation is dialed up higher with a shocking proclamation as she stands before him pregnant, weak, and weary: “Agent Thomas,” she says, “I believe I am Mary.”

Enjoyable storyline taking biblical narrative and modernizing it, until it had to go “woke” at the end.

No one knows exactly when it began or where it originated. A terrifying new plague is spreading like wildfire across the country, striking cities one by one: Boston, Detroit, Seattle. The doctors call it Draco Incendia Trychophyton. To everyone else it's Dragonscale, a highly contagious, deadly spore that marks its hosts with beautiful black and gold marks across their bodies - before causing them to burst into flames. Millions are infected; blazes erupt everywhere. There is no antidote. No one is safe.

Not his best
Revisado: 05-04-17
I thoroughly enjoyed N0S4A2, so I was looking forward to listening to this title. It started out real interesting. Contagion meets recent gut bacteria research (do we really have free will). Once the magic began (firebird, mouth torch, etc.), the story began to be just another predictable chase thriller.

An historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, best-selling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic To Kill a Mockingbird. Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014.

Realism vs archetype
Revisado: 07-29-15
Much has been written by professional critics of the differences between Atticus Finch in TKAM and GSAW, mostly dismissive of the GSAW character. I see both as valuable. The TKAM character represents the aspirational good, while the GSAW represents common human flaws in otherwise good people. TKAM is more of a parable for youth, while GSAW is a reflective mirror for adults.

In the latest installment of The Vampire Chronicles, Anne Rice summons up dazzling worlds to bring us the story of Armand—eternally young, with the face of a Botticelli angel. We go with Armand across the centuries to the Kiev Rus of his boyhood - a ruined city under Mongol dominion—and to ancient Constantinople, where Tartar raiders sell him into slavery. And in a magnificent palazzo in the Venice of the Renaissance we see him emotionally and intellectually in thrall to the great vampire Marius.

Terrible Narration
Revisado: 01-11-15
What disappointed you about The Vampire Armand?
The narration ruined this book. It was monotone without inflection, differing voice or varied cadence. I had to stop listening because it was so bad that I could not even fall asleep to it.
What didn’t you like about Jonathan Marosz’s performance?
See above
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I could turn it off.
Any additional comments?
This was a clear disservice to the author. A rerecording is in order.
