With her inquisitive mind, Charlotte Holmes has never felt comfortable with the demureness expected of the fairer sex in upper-class society. But even she never thought that she would become a social pariah, an outcast fending for herself on the mean streets of London. When the city is struck by a trio of unexpected deaths and suspicion falls on her sister and her father, Charlotte is desperate to find the true culprits and clear the family name.

A female character without much feeling is not one I really want to read about. We have enough male characters like that.

A retired group of legendary mercenaries get the band back together for one last impossible mission in this award-winning debut epic fantasy. Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best, the most feared and renowned crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld. Their glory days long past, the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk, or a combination of the three. Then an ex-bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help - the kind of mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for. It's time to get the band back together.

Delightfully New
Revisado: 05-22-18
I am so over books about angels, vampires, or medieval style warriors. Merlin has been done too many times. But I digress. I don't expect to see a lot of washed-up has-beens as the heroes of a story, much less ones so totally exemplary and admirable in all their apparent frailty. Outstanding! More!

An old favorite, beautifully done.
Revisado: 03-31-18
If you could sum up A Wrinkle in Time in three words, what would they be?
An absolute must read for any child with a tiny bit of brain. Hopefully it will stimulate a lifetime of inquiry.
What other book might you compare A Wrinkle in Time to and why?
I wish there were many more. Maybe Harry Potter books, only more science and less fantasy.
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
Narrator did what they must do: Brought the characters to life without getting in the way.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Tesseract or Bust!
Any additional comments?
Love.

All Pen wants is to be the kind of girl she's always been. So why does everyone have a problem with it? They think the way she looks and acts means she's trying to be a boy - that she should quit trying to be something she's not. If she dresses like a girl and does what her folks want, it will show respect. If she takes orders and does what her friend, Colby, wants, it will show her loyalty. But respect and loyalty, Pen discovers, are empty words.

Annoying
Revisado: 04-17-17
I dislike weak female characters, but insecure and bitchy is probably my least favorite combination. Unfortunately this didn't develop until halfway through the book. It was really painful to continue after that point. I will certainly not listen to any of the others.
The idea was an interesting concept. At first I did not like the two readers, but I got used to it and it became a good part of the story. The culture is certainly exotic enough. It should've been wonderful. Sorry I missed the mark.

The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around - and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old, he's been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever.

After slow start, this is THE BEST.
Revisado: 04-08-17
Where does Strange the Dreamer rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In the top five.
What about Steve West’s performance did you like?
Great uses of voice for the characters..
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I was a third of the way through before I even decided if I wanted to finish it. Then it caught fire and I didn't want to stop it.
Any additional comments?
A very timely story. But I am an older listener, so I have to be forgiven for flashing on The Beatles and their Yellow Submarine line: "Funny, you don't look blueish." And, indeed, it has a similar allegory basis. Warning: This one takes a while to lay out the characters and the premises of the story. Have patience. It will be worth the wait. This writer is so original, she takes my breath away. Can't wait to the next installment.

STOP. You should not have touched this flyer with your bare hands. NO, don't put it down. It's too late. They're watching you. My name is David Wong. My best friend is John. Those names are fake. You might want to change yours. You may not want to know about the things you'll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. But it's too late. You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why?

Wildly entertaining at the beginning. After a while, it got to be very repetitious. By the end;, I was glad it was almost over. Of course, it wasn't really the end. Apparently there will be a sequel. I will not partake.

A quiet gem.
Revisado: 08-28-16
Would you listen to The Housekeeper and the Professor again? Why?
No. It is pretty much a one-trick pony; but it was a great character study.
What did you like best about this story?
The fascinating relationships between the professor, the housekeeper and her young son. How does one have an ongoing relationship that ends each day? Quite a concept.
What about Cassandra Campbell’s performance did you like?
Totally in keeping with the demeanor of the housekeper.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Many. The ball game, perhaps.
Any additional comments?
Not being a mathematical type, I suspect I missed a lot of significance; but I didn't miss much in the gentle dance between these lovely beings.

This is one of the best young adult books I have read. Have a imaginative, great characterization, and just a little edgy.note: I love the way she brings the book to a sort of conclusion while hinting at a new unfolding story I ahead.
