One man saved the British Royal Family in the first decades of the 20th century – amazingly he was an almost unknown, and certainly unqualified, speech therapist called Lionel Logue, whom one newspaper in the 1930s famously dubbed ‘The Quack who saved a King’. Logue wasn’t a British aristocrat or even an Englishman – he was a commoner and an Australian to boot.

Same title, but not the same story as the film
Revisado: 01-17-12
Any additional comments?
Don't be misled by the title and image of the audiobook. It isn't the same as the film.
The audiobook covers a longer time frame, and reveals Leonard Logue as a different character to that portrayed by Geoffrey Rush in the film. Rather than being an Aussie larrikin, the book describes Logue as a caring and respectful person who needed the king???s attention as much as the king needed him.
I don???t think that I would have enjoyed the film as much had I heard this version of the story first. Recommended listening. I really enjoyed it

America is a barren landscape of smoldering ashes, devoid of life except for those people still struggling to scratch out some type of existence. Amidst this destruction, a father and his young son walk, always toward the coast, but with no real understanding that circumstances will improve once they arrive. Still, they persevere, and their relationship comes to represent goodness in a world of utter devastation.

beautifully written and narrated

This is a very bleak and depressing story of the relationship between a father and son in a post-apocalytptic world. At first I found it difficult to get into, but after a while I became quite engrossed. A beautifully written and narrated work.

After a lifetime of research and debate on Australian and international history, Geoffrey Blainey is well-placed to introduce us to the people who have played a part and to guide us through the events which have created the Australian identity: the mania for spectator sport, the suspicion of the tall poppy, the rivalries of Catholic and Protestant, Sydney and Melbourne, new and old homelands, the conflicts of war abroad and race at home, the importance of technology, the recognition of our Aboriginal past and Native Title.

This book helps you to understand today's Australia by describing where we have come from. I found it fascinating. Well worth a listen.
