Margot and James are broken up—for good this time. James made sure of it when he dropped the bomb on Margot: that he doesn’t want kids, ever. Then, on the biggest morning of his life, James—an ambitious lawyer at a high-powered firm—wakes up pregnant. He realizes with dread that he is part of a recent epidemic of men suddenly and inexplicably becoming pregnant. His condition obvious to the higher-ups, James is denied the promotion he was expecting, sending him reeling.

Makes having a baby sound like having an alien
Revisado: 05-19-22
The book is a clumsy attempt to win the pro life/pro choice controversy by asking men to imagine themselves being pregnant. Makes having a baby sound like having an alien. The book misses the point that men are biologically not designed to have babies, but women are.

A sharp knife cuts best when handled with very little pressure
Revisado: 11-23-21
Brando screaming Antony’s funeral oration is a distraction from Shakespear’s words. Charlton Heston does much better.

Stacy Keach is the best.
Revisado: 03-11-21
Would have been be a much better listen if they had let Stacy Keach narrate all of the stories.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 21
A Sportsman’s Notebook, Ivan Turgenev’s first literary masterpiece, is a sweeping portrayal of the magnificent 19th-century Russian countryside and the harsh lives of those who inhabited it. In a powerful and gripping series of sketches, a hunter wanders through the vast landscape of steppe and forest in search of game, encountering a varied cast of peasants, landlords, bailiffs, overseers, horse traders, and merchants. He witnesses both feudal tyranny and the submission of the tyrannized, against a backdrop of the sublime and pitiless terrain of rural Russia.

Narrator ruins it with his Texas corn pone accents. This is Turgenev not Flannery O’Connor.

This famous oration included in Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War has been credited as highly significant due to its unique nature amongst others in its genre. Following the annual tradition, Pericles delivers his speech at the public funeral for the victims of war. Even though designed to glorify and commemorate the dead, Pericles soon turns his oration into an ode to Athens celebrating the many achievements of this proud city.

Boring narration. Can be played as a treatment for insomnia. Do not listen to while driving or operating heavy equipment.

Rediscover one of literature’s most beloved classics, richly reissued in a pivotal new audio recording. Emmy and Tony Award-nominated actor Pablo Schreiber (The Wire, Orange Is the New Black) delivers a stirring performance of Jack London’s fierce yet tender tale of loyalty between man and beast, told from the point of view of a dog.

Narrator not as good as Samuel Griffin
Revisado: 08-08-18
This is the best version available on Audibles, but the best narration of all is performed by Sam Griffin. (He sounds like Tyrone Power.) Only available on cassette tape. Audibles should try to get a hold of it.

"Call me Ishmael." Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write "a mighty book about a mighty theme" and so he did. It is a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

The Frank Muller Narration is the Best
Revisado: 01-29-18
Whootkins is too nasal, too forced, too unnatural. The Frank Muller narration is infinitely better.

A Masterpiece of Storytelling
Revisado: 09-06-17
A powerful indictment of an establishment that prefers to see campers eaten alive than to have campers with guns. By the time the ranger showed up with his gun the bear had finished their meal. Thank God no bears were injured.

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.

I thought for sure that increasing the narration speed would do something to humanize the narrator's robotic performance, but not even that helped.
