Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 41
Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1746, and it took them 20 years to find each other again. Now the American Revolution threatens to do the same. It is 1779, and Claire and Jamie are at last reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children on Fraser’s Ridge. Having the family together is a dream the Frasers had thought impossible.

Davina Porter is an addictive narrator!

Don’t get me wrong. I love this series. That said, Ms Porter brings every single character to unique life!
This series got me more interested in the history of Scotland AND the early history of the U.S. Here’s hoping that we don’t have to wait too long for the next installment. <3

Following the events in Network Effect, the Barish-Estranza corporation has sent rescue ships to a newly colonized planet in peril, as well as additional SecUnits. But if there's an ethical corporation out there, Murderbot has yet to find it, and if Barish-Estranza can't have the planet, they're sure as hell not leaving without something. If that something just happens to be an entire colony of humans, well, a free workforce is a decent runner-up prize. But there's something wrong with Murderbot; it isn't running within normal operational parameters.

More!!! Wish it was longer
Revisado: 11-30-23
Murderbot is my snarky AI hero. I also really enjoy Art. I probably should have relistened to 7 before this, but it didn’t matter that much. And Kevin R Free’s narration is exquisite. I especially live his interpretations of Murderbot’s exasperated noises.
Dear Martha: MORE!!!

Vivian doesn't feel like she fits in - and never has. As a child, she was so whimsical that her parents told her she was "left by fairies". Now, she is living alone in Dublin, where the neighbors treat her like she's crazy, her older sister condescends to her, social workers seem to have registered her as troubled, and she hasn't a friend in the world. So, she decides it's time to change her life. She begins by advertising for a friend. Not just any friend. She wants one named Penelope.

Memorable character Vivian Lawler

No plot. Weak ending. Weird woman.
Revisado: 03-19-23
More of a character study than a story.
*Possible spoilers - for a non-story*
Vivian is a bizarre woman. Her fascination with language is interesting but her endless listing of things grows tiresome. There’s never a real explanation if why she and her sister have the same name or how she ended up living with their great aunt. While we get a tiny glimpse of her childhood trauma near the end, there’s not enough to make the story feel like even that was the point. She’s collecting unemployment and supposedly had a job the previous year, but we never find out what she did for work then. Her friend ‘Penelope’ is somewhat of a good enigmatic match for her since she too is quite odd and learns to play along with Vivian’s changeling fantasies, right up until the unsatisfying end, which tidies up nothing.

Sally Jones is not only a loyal friend, she's an extraordinary individual. In overalls or in a maharaja's turban, this unique gorilla moves among humans without speaking but understanding everything. She and the Chief are devoted comrades who operate a cargo boat. A job they are offered pays big bucks, but the deal ends badly, and the Chief is falsely convicted of murder.

Childlike telling of an intriguing series of events
Revisado: 03-15-17
Sally Jones narration of the story's series of events uses some sophisticated language, but with a somewhat childlike viewpoint. Some of the mystery's revelations were a long time telegraphed before she puts things together for herself. Still. I like the approach for middle and high school readers.
