Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

In praise of Bill Bryson!
Revisado: 02-16-24
As a writer myself, I've been a Bryson fan for a very long time. With wit and humor he opens up the British Isles to all Americans and gives us insight into the rest of the world as well as our own U.S. of A. As a survivor of Irish language school and as a bit of a world traveler myself, I've enjoyed just about every book he's ever written and hope for more. I especially love the books he reads himself!

Explore the power of the underdog in Malcolm Gladwell's dazzling examination of success, motivation, and the role of adversity in shaping our lives, from the best-selling author of The Bomber Mafia. Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a stone and a sling, and ever since then the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. David's victory was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn't have won. Or should he have?

Excellent! My suggestion: listen slowly; listen often. This is what the scriptures mean by the world turned upside down.

There's more than blood and bone beneath the skin... The victim, a nondescript "numbers cruncher," died horribly just yards away from his terrified wife and daughter, murdered by men who clearly enjoyed their work.

Wouldn't have guessed ending!
Revisado: 05-21-15
As usual, Peter Robinson serves up a technically brilliant story with a good twist to the ending. The best part of all his books are his well-developed characters, especially Detective Alan Banks, a humble every-man of a copper with a general thirst for knowledge and a strong moral compass. Although Banks may not think so, I find every moment of his investigations fascinating!

Many who visit the valley are overwhelmed by its majesty. Some wish they never had to leave. One didn't: a hiker whose decomposing corpse is discovered by an unsuspecting tourist. But this strange, incomprehensible murder is only the edge of the darkness that hovers over a small rural village and its tight-lipped residents, who guard shattering secrets of sordid pasts and private shames. Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks knows that both the grim truth and a cold-blooded killer are hiding here....

Sometimes little slow getting started , Peter Robinson's alliterative novels always end with a surprise. Definitely not your usual detective stories!

Savor one of the most clever of Christie's suspenseful classics. An American businessman is stabbed to death aboard a luxury train, the Orient Express, snowbound in the middle of Europe. Nothing escapes the eagle eye and quick intelligence of the great Hercule Poirot, and clues abound. Sorting through a dozen perfectly respectable passengers, all suspects, Poirot is tenacious in his pursuit of the truth.

Suchet is ultimate Poirot & voice actor
Revisado: 01-31-12
What made the experience of listening to Murder on the Orient Express the most enjoyable?
David Suchet as the Narrator. Not only is Suchet the best actor to ever portray Poirot, but his talent as a voice actor is incredible. I have heard him read this and other Agatha Christie works. In my opinion, he is one of the best readers in the business. His interpretations of the characters are always as I had imagined them and I never have any trouble telling which character is speaking. Listening to Suchet read Christie is a great pleasure and I would be interested to hear him read other authors too.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Well, the plot did not exactly keep me on the edge of my seat only because I have read this book before. But, it's a classic that I enjoy reading or listening to again and again. For me, it's less about who-done-it as much as it becomes how the perpetrator did it and how the detective figures it out. Does the author give the reader enough clues to figure it out or use too much omission for reader to ever catch on? Christie is a master of her art.
