Historia
Dexter is arrested on charges of murder. He has lost everything - including his wife, his kids, and the loyalty of his sister. Now completely alone, Dexter faces a murder charge (for a crime, ironically, he did not actually commit). His only chance for freedom lies with his brother, Brian, who has a dark plan to prove Dexter's innocence. But the stakes are deadly, and the epic showdown that lies in Dexter's path may lead, once and for all, to his demise.

Historia
After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he's still in good health, and in one day, he turns 100. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan really isn't interested (and he'd like a bit more control over his vodka consumption). So he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash.

What would have made The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared better?
Explore more into why the main character decided to walk away from his life and family. He might as well have been popping off to the store to get a loaf of bread, not escaping his tedious existence.

A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver's enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her. She has entered, she realizes, a parallel existence, which she calls 1Q84 - "Q" is for "question mark". A world that bears a question....

Wasnt worth it
Revisado: 02-23-13
What did you like best about 1Q84? What did you like least?
The voice acting was decent, and the overall concept of the book can be intriguing.
Any additional comments?
I honestly could not make it through the book. The length is a little ridiculous and so drawn out that you can completely forget what is going on while the author is describing a mundane situation with little meeting.

Historia
Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union since the year 2456. Life couldn’t be better…until Andrew begins to pick up on the facts that (1) every Away Mission involves some kind of lethal confrontation with alien forces; (2) the ship’s captain, its chief science officer, and the handsome Lieutenant Kerensky always survive these confrontations; and (3) at least one low-ranked crew member is, sadly, always killed.

Loved it
Revisado: 12-12-12
Would you consider the audio edition of Redshirts to be better than the print version?
Definitely, Wil Wheaton gives life to the story.
Have you listened to any of Wil Wheaton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Wil gives the same level of outstanding performance as he did for Peter & Max

Historia
When Rigg and his friends crossed the Wall between the only world they knew and a world they could not imagine, he hoped he was leading them to safety. But the dangers in this new wallfold are more difficult to see. Rigg, Umbo, and Param know that they cannot trust the expendable, Vadesh - a machine shaped like a human, created to deceive - but they are no longer certain that they can even trust one another. But they will have little choice.

As good as the first
Revisado: 12-12-12
If you could sum up Ruins in three words, what would they be?
simply classic Card
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
The cast reprises their original roles from Pathfinder and continues to give a good performance.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
That would be giving spoilers.
Any additional comments?
If you enjoy Orson Scott Card, you will enjoy this book. It is a good continuation of the story from Pathfinder.

- Narrado por: Paul Boehmer
Interesting, but long and dry
Revisado: 11-06-12
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Only a period fanatic would appreciate the story. It takes half the book to get to the trial and then side steps the trial for other sub plots.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The most interesting is the acting.

Historia
Two bestselling authors first met in a televised Caltech debate on “the future of God,” one an articulate advocate for spirituality, the other a prominent physicist. This remarkable book is the product of that serendipitous encounter and the contentious - but respectful - clash of worldviews that grew along with their friendship.

A must listen/read
Revisado: 10-08-12
What three words best describe Deepak Chopra and Leonard Mlodinow ’s performance?
Civil, Informed, Debate
Was War of the Worldviews worth the listening time?
Absolutely worth the listen.
Any additional comments?
This isnt a book to convince you one way or the other, but to give insight into the opposing views and perhaps to give some understanding about those who do not share your views.

Continued Excellence

What made the experience of listening to Star Wars: Darth Plagueis the most enjoyable?
Very good production value, as expected from the Star Wars audio books. Sheds light on the events leading up to Episode 1 from the dark side's point of view.

Feel free to stop in the series before this one.

This one just was not as good as the first 4. Unlike most of Card's other books, you just cant get a real connection with the characters. The series would have been just fine without this one.
