Widely considered to be Charles Dickens' greatest and best-loved work, Great Expectations was first published as a serial between December 1860 - August 1861 and has been in print ever since. The story of a young boy from humble origins who dares to dream of becoming a gentleman, it is one of Dickens' most enduring and widely adapted novels. In this new unabridged production, star comedian and polymath Eddie Izzard infuses the story of Pip with his trademark wit and flair.

Our narrator!

Love our narrator. Certainly the story is grand. However MsMr Izzard might read anything to me and it would be splendid!

In this informative and highly entertaining account, intrepid science reporter Florence Williams sets out to uncover the latest scientific findings from the fields of anthropology, biology, and medicine. Her investigation follows the life cycle of the breast from puberty to pregnancy to menopause, taking her from a plastic surgeon's office, where she learns about the importance of cup size in Texas, to the laboratory, where she discovers the presence of environmental toxins in her own breast milk.

Breasts are the canary in the coal mine...
Revisado: 12-31-13
What made the experience of listening to Breasts the most enjoyable?
This book is non fiction, scientific and profound
What was one of the most memorable moments of Breasts?
The science behind breast cancer, premature puberty and wieght issues are presented with startling clarity throughout this book. I recommend it to everyone I know, everyone I meet and now to strangers. DO NOT HESITATE to read this book. Consider giving as a gift to all of those who ask "why is there so much more breast cancer?" Why didn"t 'they' tell us?
What does Kate Reading bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
You can't skim like you might with a print book when the information becomes uncomfortable.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Breasts, the Canaries in the Coal Mine, a Documentary
Any additional comments?
Often a title might put someone off, please don't avoid this book because the title isn't catchy.

Human beings have been battling one another since time immemorial. But why war and terrorism? Why are men almost always the killers, and why are war and sex so inextricably linked? Why do we kill members of our own species intentionally, when few other animals do so?

This should be one everyone s reading list
Revisado: 12-31-13
Where does Sex and War rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
By far the most clarifying non fiction book I have ever read
Who was your favorite character and why?
Due to the non fiction nature of this book there is no true character- humans, chimps yes.
What does Dennis Holland bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Focus and emphasis
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There is in depth explanations of oppression of women is directly related to aggression, territory and violence.
Any additional comments?
Oh what we have done to our DNA. Reproducing with the strongest, most aggressive male of the species as led us to a place in time that we have to chose not to war. I am unable to atriculate the profound experience and meaning this book has brought to me, potentially our nation and the world.
