Historia
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Breathtakingly honest
Revisado: 10-20-24
Trevor Noah tells the story of his youth with shocking honesty and wit. It is also an amazing reflection on life in South Africa at the end of apartheid. We dive into a colorful mix of ethnicities, and hear the testimony of his mom’s unwavering faith in Jesus.

Heartfelt documentation of an extraordinary life
Revisado: 10-03-23
The author gives a genuine insight of her experience as a blind person in American society. The personal narration and her professional voice makes this book very enjoyable. The story does not circumvent uncomfortable truths. It is entertaining and educational.

Historia
When a small town relies on tourists flocking to its baths, will a report of dangerously polluted waters be enough to shut them down? Henrik Ibsen weighs the cost of public health versus a town's livelihood and skewers the complicity of the masses in his classic and still timely play.

Addresses the dilemma of public health versus public wealth
Revisado: 04-09-20
The story of a town that faces a public health issue that threatens their economy dives right in. What saves the town? Nepotism or idealism? Ibsen raises so many questions that a society faces. The characters are easy to tell apart. Their conversations sound natural. The story builds, there is so much wisdom in this play!

Thrilling

This audible program is like a movie, and you won't miss the pictures. The story has surprising twists and turns. At times a bit too much?

Historia
We expect our judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity and impartiality are the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong, and to oversee the orderly and efficient flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe? It’s rare, but it happens. Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. She is a lawyer, not a cop, and it is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct.

Well-told

Narrator Cassandra Campbell manages to make most dialogs to come alive. Last few chpters are a bit dragged out IMHO. A good escape from everyday life.

Historia
When Jack Morgan stops by Private's Paris office, he envisions a quick hello during an otherwise relaxing trip filled with fine food and sightseeing. But Jack is quickly pressed into duty after a call from his client, Sherman Wilkerson, asking Jack to track down his young granddaughter, who is on the run from a brutal drug dealer. Before Jack can locate her, several members of France's cultural elite are found dead - murdered in stunning, symbolic fashion. The only link between the crimes is a mysterious graffiti tag.
