When Andrei Kaplan’s older brother, Dima, insists that Andrei return to Moscow to care for their ailing grandmother, Andrei must take stock of his life in New York. His girlfriend has stopped returning his text messages. His dissertation adviser is dubious about his job prospects. It’s the summer of 2008, and his bank account is running dangerously low. Perhaps a few months in Moscow are just what he needs. So Andrei sublets his room in Brooklyn and moves into the apartment that Stalin himself had given his grandmother, a woman who has outlived her husband and most of her friends.

Why do i keep exchanging books? The Narrator
Revisado: 01-19-20
This book has real potential. However the narrator just turns it into a bore. Do the authors even listen to this? I feel like a broken record, Simon Prebble, Amor Towles, Lewis Arlt, Madeline Miller. They could make the worst book great.

Jack Reacher hits the pavement and sticks out his thumb. He plans to follow the sun on an epic trip across America, from Maine to California. He doesn’t get far. On a country road deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been: the town where his father was born. He thinks, What’s one extra day? He takes the detour.

Love the Book - The Narrator Eh
Revisado: 01-19-20
Huge fan of Lee Child's but this narrator could make me hate Jack Reacher. I have read all but two of Lee Child's books in paperback. The narration removed my image of the character by making him a phony sounding touch guy. There are so many great narrators, Simon Prebble a Brit, Amor Towles, Madeline Miller, Lewis Arlt. I get it everyone is not suited for every book but Prebble doing this with a British accent would have been better.

In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.

A tour de force of historical fiction. The narration makes or breaks it for me. The narrator, Nicholas Smith, is brilliant like Simon Prebble, Lewis Arlt and Madeline Miller.

Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

I loved this book. The narrators Frazier Douglas, was amazing. He, Lewis Arlt and Simon Prebble are in a league of their own. The story is like a dream that just carries you along in a current. I did not study Greek mythology so this was both educational and enjoyable.

Jack Reacher lives for the moment. Without a home. Without commitment. And with a burning desire to right wrongs - and rewrite his own agonizing past. DEA Susan Duffy is living for the future, knowing that she has made a terrible mistake by putting one of her own female agents into a death trap within a heavily guarded Maine mansion.

Jack Reacher Needs A New Narrator
Revisado: 01-19-20
I love Lee Child's books. However, the narrator is making it so hard for me to get through it. To me the narration is the critical factor as to whether I buy or trade-in. I have many favorite narrators. Lewis Arlt is right at the top as is Alan Cummings. Both highly accomplished actors did Bram Stoker's Dracula who through their voices make the characters and stories real. They are right there with Simon Prebble, Remains of the Day, Madeline Miller, Circe, Amor Towels, A Gentleman in Moscow who are all terrific. Lee I love your books, one of your biggest fans, get Lewis Arlt on board.

Incredible Book and Narrator Lewis Arlt
Revisado: 12-04-18
This book is terrific in so many ways. The American wit and wisdom is so refreshing as are the stories. What really makes the book is the narrator Lewis Arlt. He literally makes you believe you are sitting across from and listening to a country vet from Texas reminisce about his life. I listen to so many books and in my opinion the narrator makes it or breaks it. If you have listened to the Remains of the Day narrated by Simon Prebble you know what I mean. Lewis Arlt is in that rarefied class and this book is a gem.

Love the book - hate the narrator
Revisado: 11-01-18
This book is an epic piece of historical fiction which I read cover to cover despite the narrator’s performance. Where is Amor Towles, Simon Prebble, Madeline Miller, Lewis Arlt. I have exchanged so many audible books because the narration was so horrible. This one survived on the strength of the story which is a tribute to the author.

The Remains of the Day is a profoundly compelling portrait of the perfect English butler and of his fading, insular world in postwar England. At the end of his three decades of service at Darlington Hall, Stevens embarks on a country drive, during which he looks back over his career to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving "a great gentleman". But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's "greatness" and graver doubts about his own faith in the man he served.

This book is wonderful on so many levels. Simon Prebble’s narration is brilliant. The book combines a look at key moments in history; class stratification and the reflections of a man on his life on the periphery.
