August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid - but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face.

Well Done
Revisado: 05-02-16
Well written, well performed and well directed. My 11 year old nephew urged me to get this audiobook and I can't thank him enough. This story was exhilarating--it made me laugh, cry, be anxious and question myself. Once again, well done!

Helene Wecker's dazzling debut novel tells the story of two supernatural creatures who appear mysteriously in 1899 New York. Chava is a golem, a creature made of clay, brought to life by a strange man who dabbles in dark Kabbalistic magic. When her master dies at sea on the voyage from Poland, she is unmoored and adrift as the ship arrives in New York Harbor. Ahmad is a jinni, a being of fire, born in the ancient Syrian Desert. Trapped in an old copper flask by a Bedouin wizard centuries ago, he is released accidentally by a tinsmith in a Lower Manhattan shop.

Original and intriguing
Revisado: 10-02-15
I enjoyed the story very much and the always sterling performance of George Guidall.
I'm still trying to decide how I feel about the ending and although I understand it's meant to tease you for a sequel it didn't give me a sense of completion that first books can.

The impossible has happened. Chief Inspector Reg Wexford has retired. He and his wife now divide their time between Kingsmarkham and a coachhouse in Hampstead belonging to their actress daughter, Sheila. For all the benefits of a more relaxed way of life, Wexford misses being the law. But a chance meeting in a London street, with someone he had known briefly as a very young police constable, changes everything. Tom Ede is now a detective superintendent, and is very keen to recruit Wexford as an adviser on a difficult case.

Reg still on the case
Revisado: 12-20-11
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I like the way it brings an old Rendell story (A Sight for Sore Eyes) and the Wexford series together.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes, for the same reason given above and also revealing how Wexford is adjusting, or trying to adjust to retirement. Rendell is very good at weaving various strings of a plot together, revealing just enough here and there.
What does Steven Crossley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I am a long time listener to the Wexford series and always enjoyed the way Crossley portrays his characters by just a subtle change of voice, more like an attitude than an alteration of register.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The obvious point was where Wexford and Sheila have their emotional exchange after she and her sons have taken over his house. But I find the times Rendell writes with Wexford and his grandchildren always very moving.
Any additional comments?
It does make me a bit nervous to now that Chief Inspector Wexford is retired, I can't imagine a time where I won't be able to look over his shoulder as he investigates. It's rather selfish of me, I know, to keep him from his well-deserved rest.
