Historia
Omar Haddad is a brutal jihadist in Syria who appears to be invulnerable and capable of supernatural feats. But is Haddad divine, as he claims? Is he a gifted magician? Or is he making use of a stunning scientific breakthrough? And what, exactly, is keeping him from unleashing the global apocalypse he’s so eager to bring about? Brennan Craft, a quirky quantum physics genius, has the answers, and the US military is desperate to capture him.

must love science, and should probably be male too
Revisado: 10-10-15
Would you try another book from Douglas E. Richards and/or Marc Vietor?
Not if it was as utterly boring as this one.
What do you think your next listen will be?
I love mysteries and action books. So my next read (listen) will me a mystery that is geared toward women.
What about Marc Vietor’s performance did you like?
He has a nice bold yet not overpowering voice.
Do you think Quantum Lens needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, please no
Any additional comments?
I have a general understanding of various scientific fields, so its not that I didn't understand the book and what was going on. I just felt that the topic was so vastly complex that there was too much description. To much "talking" if you will. I found it boring and I was very glad that it was over. And with out being too much of a spoiler the climax of the story was, well, anticlimactic.
For the amount of testosterone that was pumped into this book the ending should have had more boom.
This book was definitely written for men. I purchased it as a deal of the day book.

Would you be willing to try another book from Sara Shepard? Why or why not?
Yes
Would you listen to another book narrated by Cassandra Morris?
I would rather not. In fact I skipped over an audio book (Gossip Girl)because she was the narrator
Did Pretty Little Liars #1 inspire you to do anything?
Pay more attention to what my teenage daughter is doing and who she's with.

Historia
Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

Pay attention
Revisado: 10-02-15
Would you consider the audio edition of The Time Traveler's Wife to be better than the print version?
I couldn't follow the print version.
Any additional comments?
I've heard and read reviews on this book that stated that it was too hard to follow, and I agree. The print version was difficult to read. The audio version was easier to follow. My best advise is to pay attention. Everything will make sense in the end.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
Yes. There were several word that were tremendously over used. Vintage, silk, and not killer but killa. I found this annoying

Historia
Meet Zoe and Greg Milton, a married couple who have let themselves go a bit. Zoe was a stunner in her college days, but the intervening decades have added five stone, and removed most of her self-esteem. Greg's rugby-playing days are well and truly behind him, thanks to countless pints of beer and chicken curry. When Elise, a radio DJ and Zoe's best friend, tells them about a new competition, it seems like the perfect opportunity to turn their lives around.

Where does Real Murders rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In the middle. Not the best. Not the worst. I found it light hearted even though it was a murder mystery.
