Ken Follett's World Without End was a global phenomenon, a work of grand historical sweep beloved by millions of readers and acclaimed by critics. Fall of Giants is his magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families - American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh - as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.

Exceptional mix of history and drama
Revisado: 09-06-20
A fabulous book for history buff and fiction lovers. Lots of deep history and very engaged failings stories. Loved the actor performing the reading, he is incredible. Always looked forward to continuing the read and sad when it was over. Have not looked yet but hope there is a continuation!

The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

Way Too Long
Revisado: 12-20-19
The narrator is excellent, but the story.... not so much. Could have been a quarter of the length it is, so much unnecessary detail that does nothing to advance the story. I found the ending to be rather anticlimactic and dry, especially after all the time invested to get there.

Poor Ending
Revisado: 12-13-19
Good narration, and interesting premise, but it didn't hold together, resulting in a manufactured ending.

Narration Made Me Quit
Revisado: 09-13-19
The story was slow and pretty uneventful, but the real issue was the narrator. His voice went high-low-high-low every few words until I felt seasick. Wanted to stick with the story until it started moving, but couldn't with that style of narration.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

What is this book about?
Revisado: 10-17-17
Stuck with it for almost as hour, then got to the fashion rules about stretch pants. I'm not sure if this is s vehicle for a stand up comedy routine, or what it is, but it was too disjointed for me.

Robotic narrating
Revisado: 06-15-17
Overall good, if a bit repetitive. The chapter on diversity approached insulting, broad stereotypical generalities were drawn.

In Compound Fractures, Alan is forced to acknowledge that the perils that may bring him to his knees are not the dangers he recognizes, nor are they orchestrated by the nemesis he has long feared. Instead he is confronted by unexpected threats from unanticipated adversaries and by intimate betrayal from those who have been closest to him. He is compelled to reconsider what he has long believed about trust and about love while he is trying to cope with overwhelming loss and grief.

Chick Lit
Revisado: 09-19-13
Would you try another book from Stephen White and/or Dick Hill?
I have read previous Stephen White books and enjoyed them, this one has no similarities. Dick Hill--never. He sounds like Walter Cronkite and has the most awful Chicago accent for Sam (or I believe that is what he is trying to convey). Painful.
Has Compound Fractures turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, just from Stephen White.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Dick Hill?
A younger more interesting voice.
Any additional comments?
Unfortunately this often happens in long running series--the author stops writing stories and becomes completely engrossed in "character development". Nothing but unrealistic drama and ridiculous scenarios. How about a doctor whose last name is doctor? Yes, Dr. Doctor. Come on....

In this remarkable dual memoir, film legend Martin Sheen and accomplished actor/filmmaker Emilio Estevez recount their lives as father and son. In alternating chapters—and in voices that are as eloquent as they are different—they narrate stories spanning more than 50 years of family history, and reflect on their journeys into two different kinds of faith.

Interesting Peek Behind the Curtain
Revisado: 01-31-13
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes I would, it's not a great book, but it is interesting and entertaining. Emilio and Martin share rich stories of childhood and growth, and I have a greater appreciation for them as people than I did before.
What other book might you compare Along the Way: The Journey of a Father and Son to and why?
I wanted to compare it to Rob Lowe's autobiography, but it's not quite as personal or gripping as his.
Which character – as performed by Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez – was your favorite?
Martin's father

Should be labeled Science Fiction
Revisado: 01-31-13
What disappointed you about Two Graves?
The story started out very promising, but then went south quickly with characters taking on more or less Super Hero powers. I can buy into using advanced science to justify certain stretches of reality, but this went way beyond the believable, and made the story seem rather ridiculous. If you like science fiction/fantasy, this is a good story, but if you're looking for an intelligent mystery, this is not it.
Has Two Graves turned you off from other books in this genre?
Not the genre it's listed in, but I feel it has been misrepresented and should be in the Science Fiction category.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Overall good reading.
