Billy Todd has always been different. Most people called him odd, and those were the nice people. Though he was born with a learning disability, Billy's parents never allowed him to consider himself disabled. Raised to be self-sufficient, Billy might not be as smart as some, but he was a lot smarter than people realized.

I was a bit leery when I started listening but it only took a few minutes before I was hooked.
Great narrator, great characters and a fantastic story.
Highly recommend!

Sixty-nine-year-old Arthur Pepper lives a simple life. He gets out of bed at precisely 7:30 a.m., just as he did when his wife, Miriam, was alive. He dresses in the same gray slacks and mustard sweater-vest; waters his fern, Frederica; and heads out to his garden. But on the one-year anniversary of Miriam's death, something changes. Sorting through Miriam's possessions, Arthur finds an exquisite gold charm bracelet he's never seen before.

Absolutely lovely
Revisado: 01-20-19
I thought it would be too "low key" and boring at first but it didn't take long for me to flow into the story. Absolutely lovely story and the narration was excellent. Highly recommend.

Doesn't stand up to time ...
Revisado: 01-15-17
I loved this book when I first read it years ago and I really wanted to love this production as well. I guess my tastes have changed because it was hard to finish this audiobook.
The female characters were spineless and the men were jerks. Part of it was the narrator, who has a wonderful voice but his female voices are irritating and very whiny. But I have to put most of the "fault" onto outdated stereotypes of helpless women and rakish men.

Revered mystery writer Josephine Tey is traveling from Scotland to London for the final week of her play Richard of Bordeaux, the surprise hit of the season, with pacifist themes that resonate in a world still haunted by war. But joy turns to horror when her arrival coincides with the murder of a young woman she had befriended on the train ride - and Tey is plunged into a mystery as puzzling as any in her own works.

Revisado: 10-13-16
The book was well written and beautifully performed. I normal don't care for mysteries because they tend to be trite or obvious. But she kept me guessing and kept my interest right to the end. Well done!

With a fun and folksy way of addressing its audience, Keep Moving serves as an instruction audiobook on how to embrace old age with a positive attitude. The chapters are filled with exclusive personal anecdotes that explore various themes on aging: how to adapt to the physical and social changes, deal with loss of friends and loved ones, stay current, fall in love again, and "keep moving" every day like there's no tomorrow.

Inspiring and enjoyable
Revisado: 06-23-16
It was quite enjoyable and inspiring and offers wisdom for all ages, young and old(er) alike.
While his age showed somewhat in his performance, the performance was excellent.
My only complaint is that it was somewhat repetitive. Some of that was for emphasis but some of it felt like a filler.
But overall, that was 5 hours of my life well spent.

- De: MaryJanice Davidson

Derik's Bane is so-so. Skip the short story!
Revisado: 11-09-15
What disappointed you about Derik's Bane?
Why in heaven's name would you sneak in the that short story "Monster Love"? I was "OK" with this novel ... not good but it was OK. Then the ugly short-story started. RAPE is not romance.
What was most disappointing about MaryJanice Davidson’s story?
RAPE IS NOT ROMANCE.
What does Nancy Wu bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She is a very good narrator.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
If you jump past the piece of violent crud at the end, Derek's Bane was ok.
Any additional comments?
MaryJanice Davidson: Rape is Rape. It is not romance and it is not fun or funny. I always thought the Luke and Laura "romance" was sick and I would have thought that we had progressed past this level of sick thinking.
Please do not throw this garbage into any more of your books or you will lose readership.

Anita Does Everybody? Where did the plot go?
Revisado: 12-06-14
Would you try another book from Laurell K. Hamilton and/or Kimberly Alexis?
Laurell K. Hamilton? Not without reading the reviews first.
Kimberly Alexis' performance was the only thing that made this worthwhile.
What could Laurell K. Hamilton have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
I don't know. Maybe have a story, plot, something other than one sex scene, followed by discussion about the last sex scene, planning then next sex scene. Then the next sex scene ...
What character would you cut from Jason?
Anita. That character deserves more than being the "star" of the metaphysical version of Debbie Does Dallas
Any additional comments?
I'll read the reviews before buying next time.

The Charisian Empire, born in war, has always known it must fight for its very survival. What most of its subjects don’t know even now, however, is how much more it’s fighting for. Emperor Cayleb, Empress Sharleyan, Merlin Athrawes, and their innermost circle of most trusted advisers do know. And because they do, they know the penalty if they lose will be far worse than their own deaths and the destruction of all they know and love.

What is up with the changes in narrators?
Revisado: 03-25-14
Is there anything you would change about this book?
THE NARRATOR!
Would you be willing to try another one of Charles Keating’s performances?
Great accent. Nice voice. Big "s" issue. Every "s" was disturbing.
This was nothing more than a reading of the book. No acting. No attempts to develop character voices.
Sorry. Boring.

The Kingdom of Charis and the Kingdom of Chisholm have joined together, pledged to stand against the tyranny of a corrupt Church. The youthful Queen Sharleyan of Chisholm has wed King Cayleb of Charis, forging a single dynasty, a single empire, dedicated to the defense of human freedom. Crowned Empress of that empire, Sharleyan has found in Cayleb's arms the love she never dared hope for in a "marriage of state." In Cayleb's cause, his defiance of the ruthless Group of Four who govern mother Church, she has found the task to which she can commit her mind and her courage.

Oliver Wyman vs Jason Culp. Sorry Jason.
Revisado: 03-17-14
Would you listen to By Heresies Distressed again? Why?
Not until it's re-recorded (if ever!) by Oliver Wyman.
What three words best describe Jason Culp’s voice?
He's a good reader but not as good as Oliver Wyman. Can't stand the accent he chose for Caleb, a poor Scottish Burr that make the Emperor sound unintelligent.
