Toru Okada is going through a difficult time. He is without a job, his cat has disappeared, and his wife is behaving strangely. Into this unbalanced world comes a variety of curious characters, a young girl sunbathing in a nearby garden; sisters who are very peculiar indeed; an old war veteran with a violent, disturbing story. Okada retreats to a deep well in a nearby house. And the story unfolds.

unusual tale
Revisado: 12-13-07
This was a bit long, and bogged down at times, but the nature of the story kept me listening. Unusual characters with lots of eccentricity move the plot along. This feature was what kept me intrigued with the book, when I might have just hit the delete button.

Few novels have had as profound an impact on American culture as On the Road. Pulsating with the rhythms of 1950s underground America, jazz, sex, illicit drugs, and the mystery and promise of the open road, Kerouac’s classic novel of freedom and longing defined what it meant to be “beat” and has inspired generations of writers, musicians, artists, poets, and seekers who cite their discovery of the book as the event that “set them free”.

another wild crazy trip?
Revisado: 12-13-07
I know this is supposed to be a "classic", but it seemed a bit repetitive to me. Each adventure seemed too much like the last. Seemed like there were entirely too many wild, drunken trips across the US, and not enough imaginative plot. His later works are much better.

elizabethian type tale
Revisado: 08-10-07
This tale does hold your interest if you like "jane eyre" type novels. Enough mystery and plot twists to keep you listening.

where are we now?
Revisado: 08-10-07
Maybe it was the narration, but I found this book difficult to follow. The transition from one time frame to the next was not clear or maybe not defined. I often could not tell which era they were talking about. A meandering plot is often more interesting, but in this case, just confusing.

In the opening chapter of Shade, a woman dies in the house where she grew up, killed by her childhood friend. The clumsy murderer manages to eliminate her body; however, her spirit returns to narrate this riveting novel of love and war, childhood alliances, and inevitable betrayals. Nina Hardy's ghost is vigilant, patient, and forgiving.

plot is good. however the reader makes it difficult to discern who is talking (Nena, George, who?) Would be a better book with a different reader.

In his final hours in the Oval Office, the outgoing President grants a controversial last-minute pardon to Joel Backman, a notorious Washington power broker who has spent the last six years hidden away in a federal prison. What no one knows is that the President issues the pardon only after receiving enormous pressure from the CIA. It seems Backman, in his power broker heyday, may have obtained secrets that compromise the world’s most sophisticated satellite surveillance system.

not as good as previous grisham, but a good listen
Revisado: 06-15-05
the first half was a bit slow, but as the novel progressed my interest picked up. Especially enjoyable was the description of Italian countryside and food ! Probably would have rated this better, if I hadn't enjoyed so many other Grisham novels.
