Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer. It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit.

The locals in the southern Italian town where he lives call him Signor Farfalla - Mr. Butterfly - for he is a discreet gentleman who paints rare butterflies. His life is inconspicuous: mornings are spent brushing at a canvas, afternoons idling in the cafés, and evenings talking with his friend, the town priest, over a glass of brandy. Yet there are other sides to this gentleman’s life.... Part thriller, part character study, part drama of deceit and self-betrayal, The American shows Martin Booth at the very height of his powers.

feel like you're in Italy but slow at times
Revisado: 03-12-14
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Great if you wanna feel like you're in a small Italian town. Good info about Italian living and how to guide for assassins
Would you recommend The American to your friends? Why or why not?
Yes but I see why people think its boring by I like it. Very relaxing to listen to
What aspect of Ralph Cosham’s performance would you have changed?
His voice is kinda monotone but adds to the tone of the book. Is not action packed but more of a how to guide for assassins
Could you see The American being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Already is a movie dopey
Any additional comments?
Good but slow. Relaxing life as an Italian. Pleny of drinking coffee, whoring and occasional gun making

J. Robert Oppenheimer was one of the iconic figures of the 20th century, a brilliant physicist who led the effort to build the atomic bomb but later confronted the moral consequences of scientific progress. When he proposed international controls over atomic materials, opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb, and criticized plans for a nuclear war, his ideas were anathema to powerful advocates of a massive nuclear buildup during the anti-Communist hysteria of the early 1950s.

Jake Sullivan is a licensed private eye with a seriously hardboiled attitude. He also possesses raw magical talent and the ability to make objects in his vicinity light as a feather or as heavy as depleted uranium, all with a magical thought. It's no wonder the G-men turn to Jake when they need someoneto go after a suspected killer who has been knocking off banks in a magic-enhanced crime spree.

In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world. Lansing describes how the men survived a 1,000-mile voyage in an open boat across the stormiest ocean on the globe and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers and mountains.

Meet Detective Chief Inspector John Luther. He's a murder detective. He's brilliant; he's intense; he's instinctive. And yet there are rumours that DCI Luther is bad - not corrupt, but tormented. The first in a new series of novels featuring DCI John Luther takes us into Luther's past and into his mind. It is the story of the case that tore his personal and professional relationships apart, and propelled him over the precipice....

brings Luther to life. great prequel to the show
Revisado: 03-12-14
What made the experience of listening to Luther: The Calling the most enjoyable?
Well done on Luthers voice.great prequel to the show and gives good insight to the first episode of the first season
What other book might you compare Luther: The Calling to and why?
Don't know but it makes you squirm. Quite graphic detail of how he kills the baby sitter and the family and kids. Not for faint hearted. I like some sick stuff but this was just on my threshold. Be warned but great if you love the show
What does David Bauckham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Luther voice was spot on and being a fan of the show you can imagine it very well
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Extreme squirming while driving. The kill scenes shouldn't be played out loud with kids or girlfriend in the car

Hailed by The New York Times as "a marvel of storytelling", The Things They Carried’s portrayal of the boots-on-the-ground experience of soldiers in the Vietnam War is a landmark in war writing. Now, three-time Emmy Award winner-Bryan Cranston, star of the hit TV series Breaking Bad, delivers an electrifying performance that walks the book’s hallucinatory line between reality and fiction and highlights the emotional power of the spoken word.
