A pleasant, entertaining story

Revisado: 09-19-20

John Grisham tells a good tale, as always. This one was not terribly dramatic, which I appreciated in this time of world pandemic. It engaged my interest and gave me a few new things to think about. I liked the protagonist and the narrator. I think my next audible pick will be another John Grisham novel.

A means to an end

Revisado: 11-18-17

A friend sold me on the Dresden Files. He promised that, while the first 3 books are not great, the rest are fantastically addictive. If I didn’t have such faith in my friend’s recommendations, I would not have made it through the first book.
Fool Moon is a little better. I’m not sympathetic to Harry yet. The only engaging relationship he has is with Murphy.
However, minor characters like Bob and Chauncey are awesome. I am also curious about Harry’s mother. These pieces are evidence that Jim Butcher really can write, so I’m sticking with him for at least two more books.

Still my favorite

Revisado: 03-11-17

Charlotte's Web was my favorite childhood book. I could not have known E.B. White's fame and expertise as a writer. I only knew that I loved the story, the setting, the characters, and most especially, Charlotte.

It is a blissful treat to listen to the author read this book. I thrilled to hear the pages turn, and loved his rendition of the animal voices.

The afterward was a pleasant surprise, providing additional insight to the story that I will always treasure.

Best new audiobook in years!

Revisado: 05-18-16

I really connected with this book. If you are in a work environment in which you need to do creative problem solving, complex managing of people, and develop innovative ideas for your field, then you simply must listen to it.

Entertaining, enlightening, enriching, and empowering. Loved every minute of it!

Wonderful

Revisado: 03-20-16

I have heard pieces of Corrie Ten Boom's story all my life. Somehow, I thought it was a story similar to the Diary of Anne Frank. I was surprised to learn that Corrie was middle-aged when she was sent to a concentration camp. I was equally surprised to learn that The Hiding Place tells the story of Betsy Ten Boom, as much as it tells the story of Corrie Ten Boom.

I was afraid to listen to The Hiding Place, afraid to let the horrors of a concentration camp story into my soul. I learned that this is not a concentration camp story per se, but rather, it is a testimony to the faithfulness of Jesus Christ.

The Hiding Place gives an account of the Holy Spirit's leading, provision, and protection during one of the darkest hours of the history of the world. This story is for everyone- Christian, non-believer, seeker - God will speak to you through this account.

The narration was perfect. The story is miraculous. The characters are now beloved members of my family, whom I will soon embrace in heaven.

life-changing!

I used to think leadership was about getting the job done right. This book taught me that leadership is about inspiring others to develop their own potential AND getting the job done right. Truly life-changing.

Waste of a credit!

Revisado: 04-24-15

This book should not have been made into an audiobook. It sounds like a manual or a textbook. I was hoping to hear something inspirational, uplifting, or motivating, but was disappointed.

Classic story - well told

Revisado: 04-12-15

If you find yourself frustrated with the minor characters, remember - that was Mark Twain's intent. The only characters I loved were Jim and Huckleberry, and an occasional acquaintance along this epic journey. And that's the point of the thing.
Elijah Wood did a fine job.

Fantastic story. Excellent performance.

No matter how many times I listen to this, I love it.
I imagine Dickens himself must have sounded just like Martin Jarvis.

I love Maya Angelou!
Her voice and her story are incredible. Listening to her tell it is like having my own private sessions with this incredible woman.
