In present-day California, Eleanor Bennett’s death leaves behind a puzzling inheritance for her two children, Byron and Benny: a black cake, made from a family recipe with a long history, and a voice recording. In her message, Eleanor shares a tumultuous story about a headstrong young swimmer who escapes her island home under suspicion of murder. The heartbreaking tale Eleanor unfolds, the secrets she still holds back, and the mystery of a long-lost child challenge everything the siblings thought they knew about their lineage and themselves.

Great story, great reader!
Revisado: 10-24-24
While the story was great, the reader made listening even better. The way the reader captured the accent and emotion of each character Allowed the listener to be engulfed in the story And feel the motion of each character.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 250
Herodotus is not only the father of the art and the science of historical writing, but also one of the Western tradition's most compelling storytellers. In tales such as that of Gyges, who murders Candaules, the king of Lydia, and usurps his throne and his marriage bed, thereby bringing on, generations later, war with the Persians, Herodotus laid bare the intricate human entanglements at the core of great historical events.

A woman stumbles into a remote bar on the Carribean island of St. John - and faints. It isn't the tropical drinks that befell Emily Miles, but the sight of the bartender, Duncan Crawford. In the restless Duncan, Emily is sure she recognizes the young man she has been searching for since he left her at the alter, 20 years ago.

Awe and exhilaration—along with heartbreak and mordant wit—abound in Lolita, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsession for the nymphet Dolores Haze. Lolita is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America.

I can't make it past the topic:(
Revisado: 07-09-15
Would you try another book from Vladimir Nabokov and/or Jeremy Irons?
No
What was most disappointing about Vladimir Nabokov’s story?
It was about Pedophilia:( Very disappointing... > The book was recommended by listeners and is seen, in some circles a literary masterpiece, so I thought I would give it a try. I'm not seeing the masterpiece in it at all. One reviewer stated "If you can get past the topic it's really a great love story" WHAT? Granted, I couldn't ready the entire book, but at no point did I envision a love story coming from this book. If anything, I envision the story of how a grown man abused and little girl to fulfill some past lust that was unfulfilled:(
What does Jeremy Irons bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Again, reader was fine, topic was not
Any additional comments?
I had a very hard time getting past the fact that the grown man was fantasizing over a little girls. I think I stopped a chapter 3 or 4.

An extraordinary fiction debut: a large, stirring novel of suspense that is, at the same time, a work of brilliantly astute social observation. Publishers Weekly predicts this "will be the talk of the political in-crowd this summer," and Booklist's starred review calls it "a roman à clef with fascinating insights into the behind-the-scenes machinations of racial and power politics." Don't miss this one!

Slow Start but interesting ending
Revisado: 07-09-15
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Yes, the reader. The reader was very dry. I equate it to watching an actor that can't act. All the characters kind of blended together.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes, The end result was unpredictable but not shocking.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Not very good:(
Was The Emperor of Ocean Park worth the listening time?
It was a good book, but you had to get past the first chapter or two to really enjoy the story.
Any additional comments?
Good book, would be a better listening book if the reader was better. It would probably be a better book to actually read and not listen to.

The irascible A. J. Fikry, owner of Island Books - the only bookstore on Alice Island - has already lost his wife. Now his most prized possession, a rare book, has been stolen from right under his nose in the most embarrassing of circumstances. The store itself, it seems, will be next to go. One night upon closing, he discovers a toddler in his children’s section with a note from her mother pinned to her Elmo doll: I want Maya to grow up in a place with books and among people who care about such kinds of things. I love her very much, but I can no longer take care of her.

Nate Overbay, a former soldier suffering from PTSD and ALS, goes to an 11th-floor bank and climbs out the bathroom window onto the ledge, ready to end it all. But as he’s steeling himself to jump, a crew of gunmen bursts into the bank and begins viciously shooting employees and customers. With nothing to lose, Nate climbs back inside, confronts the robbers, and with his military training, starts taking them out, one by one. The last man standing leaves Nate with a cryptic warning: “He will make you pay in ways you can’t imagine.” Soon enough, Nate learns what this means.
