At first, only a few things are known about the celestial object that astronomers dub Rama. It is huge, weighing more than ten trillion tons. And it is hurtling through the solar system at inconceivable speed. Then a space probe confirms the unthinkable: Rama is no natural object. It is, incredibly, an interstellar spacecraft. Space explorers and planet-bound scientists alike prepare for mankind's first encounter with alien intelligence.

The story... is captivating, ...but the narration... is annoying. He speaks...in halting...sentences...for...the...entire book... all... nine+ hours...of it....Completely....ruined...the book... for me.

For much of his life, historian Howard Zinn chronicled American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version taught in schools - with its emphasis on great men in high places - to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of - and in the words of - America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers.

Don't listen to the reviews that talk about the production problems. They make mountains out of molehills.

I loved this book. Kathleen Chalfant ought to get an award for pronouncing some very hard names and places!
I feel very confident that Hillary is the best choice to lead our country in 2016 and get so much accomplished.

Iron Man chronicles the story of both pioneering guitarist Tony Iommi and legendary band Black Sabbath, dubbed "The Beatles of heavy metal" by Rolling Stone. Iron Man reveals the man behind the icon yet still captures Iommi's humor, intelligence, and warmth. He speaks honestly and unflinchingly about his rough-and-tumble childhood, the accident that almost ended his career, his failed marriages, personal tragedies, battles with addiction, bandmates, famous friends, newfound daughter, and the ups and downs of his life as an artist.

The story: interesting; The narration-terrible.

This book will melt your ears off!
Revisado: 05-16-15
What did you love best about Iron Man: My Journey through Heaven and Hell with Black Sabbath?
Learning the history of the band, the era, and of Tony.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Iron Man: My Journey through Heaven and Hell with Black Sabbath?
There is a story in here of the bands early days where Tony drops Ozzy off at a house that looks like his own house, but is not. It is hysterical.
There is a lot of back stories to the albums and songs. Brings a whole new perspective to the Black Sabbath catalog making me appreciate them even more.
What about Bev Bevan’s performance did you like?
He is a personal friend of Tony and even sounds a little like him. His British accent is very pleasant to listen too.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me lolz many times and cringe once or twice.
Any additional comments?
I've read a lot of rock bio's. This one is by far my favorite. I actually still like Tony after reading it. Same cannot be said about other rock performers books I have read.
Tony is a likable guy and of course, he is the driving force behind one of the most iconic heavy metal bands ever.

Sparked by a controversial debate in February 2014, Bill Nye has set off on an energetic campaign to spread awareness of evolution and the powerful way it shapes our lives. In Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation, he explains why race does not really exist; evaluates the true promise and peril of genetically modified food; reveals how new species are born, in a dog kennel and in a London subway; takes a stroll through 4.5 billion years of time; and explores the new search for alien life, including aliens right here on Earth.

If you could sum up Undeniable in three words, what would they be?
Makes you curious
What about Bill Nye’s performance did you like?
His sense of humor and his ability to explain things in a way most people can understand without making you feel dumb
Any additional comments?
This book is so well thought out and researched. He explains very complex scientific ideas in a way that makes you think, discover and enjoy. It should be required reading in every high school.
