Historia
Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic The Grapes of Wrath remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of Dust Bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of Tom Joad and his family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires, and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision.

Beautiful Narration!!

I listened to this book decades ago (books on TAPE!) and it was a lovely story. I’m a big fan of Mr Steinbeck and listened to or read most of his novels. So while I was already assured the book itself was going to be a good story, the storyteller was not ready for such a skilled narrator. Each character has a well thought out voice of their own. His performance in narration brought more to the characters and story than had I just read this on my own. Bravo to the narrator for drawing me into this story once again. (Narrator’s name is Dylan Baker)

Historia
The Anatomy of Motive offers a dramatic, insightful look at the development and evolution of the criminal mind. The famed former chief of the FBI's Investigative Support Unit, John Douglas was the pioneer of modern behavioral profiling of serial criminals. Working again with acclaimed novelist, journalist, and filmmaker Mark Olshaker, and using cases from his own fabled career as examples, Douglas takes us further than ever before into the dark corners of the minds of arsonists, hijackers, bombers, poisoners, serial killers, and mass murderers.

I think I’m all caught up on my John Douglas books now!! This one was great. Anatomy of Motive still has all the stories from Mr. Douglas’ career, except gets more into the “why tho?!” aspect of the crime. There are some really sick examples of human depravity which adds some gory details. Keeps the reader interested as long as you can handle it!

Historia
For 25 years, John E. Douglas worked for the FBI, where had a brilliant and terrifying career getting inside the minds of notorious killers. Written with Mark Olshaker, Law and Disorder is Douglas’ most provocative and personal book yet. In it, he addresses every law enforcement professional’s worst nightmare: those cases where, for one reason or another, justice was delayed - or denied.

Revisado: 02-22-21
I really love the books by John Douglas!! He and Mark Olshaker work brilliantly together to write books that are smart as well as thought provoking. Many of the cases that are written about in Law and Disorder I only know the basics of, or I only had the media’s point of view (which is often skewed and wrong). The media should tell us the story, not create the story.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good in-depth true story about murder and crime.

Welcome to the Black Triangle, New York's decadent district of opium dens, gambling casinos, and back-room abortions. The queen of this unsavory neighborhood is Black Lena Shanks, whose family leads a ring of female criminals - women skilled in the art of cruelty.

Revisado: 11-10-20
The other reviews say how awful and unbearable the torture scenes are in this book, but I didn’t see any of that. Some of the worst ones were a bit chilling but not awful. Not nightmarish.
This is a long read but not that memorable and not much of a page turner. Its one of those “OK” books.

Historia
Fascinated by our pervasive terror of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty set out to discover how other cultures care for their dead. In rural Indonesia, she observes a man clean and dress his grandfather's mummified body. Grandpa's mummy has lived in the family home for two years, where the family has maintained a warm and respectful relationship. She meets Bolivian natitas (cigarette-smoking, wish-granting human skulls) and introduces us to a Japanese kotsuage.

Thank you for changing my mind about death, Ms. Doughty. I have now listened to all three of your books and they are enlightening and entertaining!! I loved hearing about how people practice their different death rituals all over the world, and the way you write about each place is so educational.
Your humor is always right on point and even though you are speaking about a touchy subject, you are never disrespectful to anyone. Thanks for writing, and I hope you write more books. I. The meantime maybe you can narrate other people’s books!! Your narrating is top notch!

Historia
Most people want to avoid thinking about death, but Caitlin Doughty - a 20-something with a degree in medieval history and a flair for the macabre - took a job at a crematory, turning morbid curiosity into her life’s work. With an original voice that combines fearless curiosity and mordant wit, Caitlin tells an unusual coming-of-age story full of bizarre encounters, gallows humor, and vivid characters (both living and very dead).

I really loved this book as well as Caitlin Doughty’s more recent book “Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?” I am so grateful for happening upon your work, Caitlin, and thank you for all your insight.
You really have changed my mind about death. It still does scare me a little, as maybe it should, but since you have so honestly opened the black curtain of death, showing your readers all the truths of what happens to our bodies after we die, it is less scary now. Your life’s work is a success! I will continue to hear what you have to say on YouTube and your website. Thanks so much for all of your experiences and insights.

In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, Doughty blends her mortician’s knowledge of the body and the intriguing history behind common misconceptions about corpses to offer factual, hilarious, and candid answers to 35 distinctive questions posed by her youngest fans. In her inimitable voice, Doughty details lore and science of what happens to, and inside, our bodies after we die. Why do corpses groan? What causes bodies to turn colors during decomposition? And why do hair and nails appear longer after death?

I bought this audiobook because of the title. “Oh I like cats, I want to know if my own cat wishes to eat my eyeballs!” Only after I bought it did I see it was a book about corpses, and man was I happy!! I love a good book about death.
The author is brilliant, and I am going to see if she’s written any other books. I hope so...
She is such a wonderful narrator that I want her to narrate everything.. please Caitlin? Please narrate Fifty Shades of Grey? You wrote an amazing and hilarious book about dead bodies, and I learned so much from it. I was also entertained the entire time!! Even when you made me gag. Thanks for that 💕

Historia
Samantha is a professional seductress and con artist with a heart of gold. If she talked about her work, she’d tell you she only pilfers organs for medical research and that she only takes one kidney, and she only steals those kidneys from dishonest people. It’s hell on her social life. Abe is the doctor and Sam's partner in crime. He isn’t much of a criminal. Except for the kidney stealing. But he’s using that money to fund his research that he anticipates will be able to cure diabetes. So, all for a good cause...? You decide. Of course, it's hell on his social life.

After the Final War, after the appearance of the Bug aliens and their enforced peace, Shining Smith is still alive, still doing business from the old scrapyard bequeathed to her by her father. But Shining is now something more than human. And the scrapyard is no longer just a scrapyard, but a place full of secrets. This life she has built, while empty, is predictable and safe. Until the only friend left from her previous life shows up, dead, in the back of a scrapped Tesla warplane. Clutched in her cold fingers is a note to Shining - warning her of a coming attack.
