What is it like to grow up Aboriginal in Australia? This anthology, compiled by award-winning author Anita Heiss, showcases many diverse voices, experiences and stories in order to answer that question. Accounts from well-known authors and high-profile identities sit alongside those from newly discovered writers of all ages. All of the contributors speak from the heart - sometimes calling for empathy, oftentimes challenging stereotypes, always demanding respect.

To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It is where he was born and grew up; it's where he lives with his Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep and play. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years. Through determination, ingenuity, and fierce motherly love, Ma has created a life for Jack. But she knows it's not enough...not for her or for him.

Almost believable.
Revisado: 10-13-18
Good story. Not quite believable when the Australian accent was attempted. Given the time line presented, the accent would not have developed so strongly. That particular performance did not sound genuine.

Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 10
An unprecedented spate of murders in the 1990s earned Goulburn Jail the ominous name 'The Killing Fields'. Inmates sentenced or transferred to the 130-year-old towering menace declared they had been given death sentences. Serial killer Ivan Milat, the 'Terror Five' militants who plotted attacks across Sydney in 2005, Brothers 4 Life founder Bassam Hamzy and gang rapist Bilal Skaf are just a few of the inmates inside Australia's most murderous prison. Meet them all here in Phelps' best-selling audiobook.

Revealing look inside NSW prisons
Revisado: 09-05-17
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
An eye opener to the extent of power inmates, who are incarcerated for serious crimes, are able to continue their criminal activities from behind bars
What three words best describe Stan Pretty’s performance?
The juvenile sound effects were annoying and not very convincing. A little more effort given to the accurate pronunciations of the foreign surnames would have given Pretty more credibility.
If you could give Australia's Most Murderous Prison a new subtitle, what would it be?
How the Nagle Royal Commision ensured that prison inmates continue their criminal enterprises from behind bars. A direct result of a one sided investigation where the only witnesses called to give evidence to events inside NSW prisons were inmates.
Any additional comments?
The abrupt ending to the story was somewhat disconcerting. A representation of a prison murder ended suddenly without even an epilogue.

This audiobook will guide you through seven habits which are consistent across all game players, manipulators, narcissists, sociopaths, and liars. Simply by becoming aware of these habits, you'll find yourself being overlooked rather than targeted as another mark by these pernicious, intra-species predators.

Too Short!
Revisado: 03-29-17
What disappointed you about 7 Habits of Highly Manipulative People?
Way too short, mainly just paragraph headings with brief descriptions. Don't waste your money.
What do you think your next listen will be?
A book that at least goes for an hour or more.
Would you be willing to try another one of Jack Nolan’s performances?
It would have to be longer and have more content before I would even consider wasting money and time on another of Nolan's performances.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from 7 Habits of Highly Manipulative People?
If I cut anything there would be nothing left.
Any additional comments?
My responsibility for not noticing how short this book was, usually I look at the length and for some reason I omitted to do that with this particular book.
