Even better than the first

Revisado: 08-07-18

Chamber of Secrets is the perfect sequel, while it doesn’t shy away from callbacks to the first book, it does so without being redundant and brings a ton of new material to the table. Not only does it build on everything established in the first book, it takes unique twists and becomes its own story while still being reminiscent of the first. Structurally, there are a lot of similarities to the original. But it takes twists away from what is expected, and established a much darker tone. An overlooked and underrated year in the Harry Potter series!

The first in a series of modern day classics

Revisado: 08-06-18

Since everyone has already read Harry Potter, I’d lie to start by saying that the narration is superb and it’s a great excuse to revisit the books you know and love. For new readers, Year 1 is an incredible tale for all ages.

A classic told beautifully

Revisado: 07-29-18

While this isn’t the best narration I’ve ever heard of Gatsby, it will do just fine. I like Jakes performance overall, albeit his monotone inflection doesn’t make a great Gatsby.
The important part is the book, and it’s still as vibrant and thrilling as it was when it was published. This book elegantly depicts the 1920s, and believe it or not your high school English teacher was right! It is a very important book. So rather it’s for newcomers or returning guests, enjoy.

Brilliant and Timeless

Revisado: 06-15-18

Wow, what is there to say about Tom Sawyer really? It’s an iconic must-read for anyone. Everyone knows the fence scene even if they haven’t read the book.

When reading classics, a great deal of them are serious dramas, filled with melancholy and hardship. So as a nice counter balance to that, check out Tom Sawyer. It’s a fun, loving and thought provoking novel that will make you reminisce on the joys of childhood.

Since Tom is a 5/5 obviously let’s talk about the narrator, I found his voices for the characters funny and accurate to my pre internal voice for the characters. His narration makes revisiting the series feel new and exciting.

Good information, worth the couple bucks but nothing spectacular.

Revisado: 06-10-18

While I already knew practically everything said in the book, and while most of it is common sense? It’s helpful and inspiring to hear. Gives you the little boost you may need, although the PDF mentioned in the beginning was a false advertisement.

King Gets Back To His Roots in a Story That Hits the Ground Running

Revisado: 05-23-18

With many of his recent novels, King takes a lot of risks and travels outside his comfort zone in both genre and subject matter.
The Outsider is classic King, the King that most of his fans want but that all of his fans enjoy. Where something like Sleeping Beauties will have a mixed reaction from fans, this will be something everyone can enjoy. Out of all of Kings books, I think this is definitely in the upper echelon of his content. Relentlessly fast-moving and the first third of the book is full throttle the entire way through.
Very satisfying ending, and twists that only a reader of Kings past work will get. But in a way that doesn’t detract from the story for new readers.

Steinbecks Best Work Since Grapes of Wrath

Revisado: 05-21-18

Other than GoW this has always been my favorite Steinbeck novel. With its modern setting and relatable situations, the story is very enthralling. While much shorter than some of his other works, Winter is concise and hard hitting. Not sense Grapes of Wrath has Steinbeck created such a master piece.The novel dives into how poorly we can treat one another over the prospect of money. Similar themes to GoW
A must listen for any Steinbeck reader, and a wonderful start for someone who has never read his work.

Steinbecks Best Work & A Must Read for Any Reader

Revisado: 05-21-18

The Grapes of Wrath is not only a compelling and entertaining piece of literature, but it’s gripping portrayal of The Great Depression makes it an extremely important book for both literary and educational purposes.
With vivid and lovable characters, the story of the Joads is both inspiring and heart wrenching. Easily one of the best books of all time, if you’re put off by classics the language is also extremely accessible to the average reader.

For anyone like myself who has read the book many times over:
The performance is marvelous. The audio production of the book makes if a wonderful way to revisit a favorite novel. I really enjoyed not both the narration and the accompanying music.

Classic King With Brilliant and Meaningful Commentary

Revisado: 05-12-18

Although no where near his best book, after a read through and several listens Sleeping Beauties is a marvelous novel with something poignant to say. With funny and witty dialogue and the monumental moment of King collaborating with his son Owen for the first time, this is a must read for any King fan.
