Wonderful Listen

Revisado: 12-15-17

What a great Jack Ryan novel. I thoroughly enjoyed the intrigue, action and involvement of both Jack Ryan Sr. and Jack Ryan Jr. as integral characters. Scott Brick only gets better with his narration. As far as I'm concerned, a narrator can make or break a book for me. I'll be waiting to see who the author of Book 19 will be. I'll be the first in line to make the purchase.

Providing Equality

Revisado: 10-20-17

The memoir tells how Malala struggled to stand up for the education of girls and also for the higher education of these girls as they became women. She wanted equality for both sexes. The book did tell of her hardships and victories. However, I found it dull and repetitious. The narrator was at times difficult to decipher but was okay. The memoir may be written for a younger listener than myself. Malala's memoir is a truth others need to realize. They need to understand how the leaders of her country are enforcing these restrictions against her people.

His lawyer doesn't ask, truth or lie

Revisado: 10-20-17

What starts out as a reward banquet ends up as a murder mystery. The two men went to school together. One became a successful lawyer, with quite a lot of wealth, while the other one did not. However, the lawyer has to depend on the help of the person whom he discarded in his younger life, to keep him free from being convicted of capital murder. The book is cleverly written and did not bore me. The narrator keeps the story moving smoothly from chapter to chapter. There are plenty of twists and turns to hold the listener's interest.

Another Chance

Revisado: 10-20-17

Divorce can make a woman wary of marrying again. Especially if the man appears to have some of the same attributes as her first husband. Well written novel with an excellent narrator. Tells the stories of how 2 men and 2 women come to the truth about how love, marriage and children can make for a good life. Quite an enjoyable listen.

Exciting book and a good listen

Revisado: 07-18-17

I read the complete series. The series was great and Scott Brick, with his wonderful ability at narration, wrapped up the last book with finesse. May he narrate the next book in the Penn Cage series.

Overcoming Racism

Revisado: 08-18-15

Katie becomes a pen-pal with Logan while he remains in jail for armed robbery. The pen-pals are not to communicate by any other means but writing. However, their letters open up a great desire to talk with one another.

Logan is white and Katie is black. Neither know this about one another. Logan is racist due to being raised in areas where there were more blacks and he was always the lone white kid getting himself jumped. That is until he meets a friend who is white and Logan becomes a part of a group of white teens who protect one another. They do not instigate fighting, the group of white boys are together for protection. However, Logan's best friend instills in Logan racism.

Logan discovers the color of Katie's skin prior to his release. The story is an easy read and helps the reader to understand racism and why people sometimes are racist without actually understanding quite why they feel this way.

Logan and Katie need to find a way to get together as a couple and push away any racism away with understanding and truth.

Olivia Peppersmith, the narrator, did a great job of distinguishing the many character's well. The narration was able to make the novel an enjoyable listen. I would encourage other's to listen to a well written book that teaches how racism creates many problems that are difficult to confront. This is what I liked most about this book. The story follows a consistent plot and is good from the start to the end.
