Historia
A debut of extraordinary distinction: through the trials of one unforgettable family, Ayana Mathis tells the story of the children of the Great Migration, a story of love and bitterness and the promise of a new America. In 1923, 15-year-old Hattie Shepherd flees Georgia and settles in Philadelphia, hoping for a chance at a better life. Instead, she marries a man who will bring her nothing but disappointment and watches helplessly as her firstborn twins succumb to an illness a few pennies could have prevented.

Narrator ruined the story.

OK. I'm disappointed. The narrators sing-songy style narration ruined this book for me. She also had such poor phrasing that often the story didn't make sense.

Historia
Graham Greene’s evocative analysis of the love of self, the love of another, and the love of God is an English classic that has been translated for the stage, the screen, and even the opera house. Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release.

Good read. A bit dated.

Colin Firth! There is no better and he completely adds to the tone of the story. The story itself is intriguing until it gets to the motivations of the object of the affair. That part seems unrealistic, bordering on silly.

Historia
Doug Parker is a widower at age 29, and in his quiet suburban town, that makes him something of a celebrity - the object of sympathy, curiosity, and, in some cases, unbridled desire.

Fun book
Revisado: 09-21-12
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the main character and the relationships in the story.

I liked the main character and his twin sister. Both were flawed in very different ways, but put them together and they were hilarious.

It's really a book for teens and tweens
Revisado: 09-21-12
What did you love best about The Age of Miracles?
I like the flow. Disaster strikes. The Earth has shifted on its axis causing a steady stream of problems. However, adjustments are made and life continues.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The constant angst expressed by the young main character got old pretty quick. The stream of consequences that follow such a major event was very interesting.

Historia
Quirky characters, a hotel with a phantom floor, sexy girls, rock music, especially Talking Heads - this gloriously imaginative romp around contemporary Japan defies description. A cult novelist with a huge international following, but also with a serious literary reputation, Haruki Murakami gains more fans with each book. Dance, Dance, Dance is one of his finest and most loved.

Great listen
Revisado: 09-21-12
What made the experience of listening to Dance, Dance, Dance the most enjoyable?
This book is unique. Its images and story are unlike anything I have read. The line between fantasy and reality is blurred in an interesting, compelling way. The reader adds to the book.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The sheepman says, "Dance, dance, dance while you can".
Any additional comments?
The reader is excellent.

The narration suited the characters, careful and precise. I know that others found the narration too slow, but in my mind it added to the story.

Historia
Most people say that when they lose weight and look better, they'll like themselves more. Jean Fain suggests that we've got it all backward: "The best way to lose weight and look your best is to stop dieting and start with loving who you are." With the Self-Compassion Diet, this Harvard Medical School-affiliated psychotherapist shares a revolutionary new model for weight-loss methods: self-love, mindfulness, self-hypnosis, and group support.

The guided meditations and self-hypnosis sessions are provided in the audiobook. They are easy to access.

Told with the same intimate style, brutal honesty, and uproarious wisdom that placed Wishful Drinking on the New York Times bestseller list for months, Shockaholic is the juicy account of Carrie Fisher’s life, focusing more on the Star Wars years and dishing about the various Hollywood relationships she’s formed since she was chosen to play Princess Leia at only 19 years old.

Would you listen to Shockaholic again? Why?
I would listen to this again. It is a fun book with engaging narration.
Which scene was your favorite?
I love it when Carrie talks about her Mother.
Any additional comments?
This is a fun, light book. It gives a light look into the lives of the rich and famous. I laughed outloud many times. Carrie Fisher doesn't take herself too seriously and is able to tease out the absurdity in her life circumstances.

Excellent
Revisado: 04-23-12
Would you consider the audio edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to be better than the print version?
Yes. Anne Hathaway does a great job with the narration. It makes the book even more fun.
What about Anne Hathaway’s performance did you like?
I loved the voices that she gave the characters. She also gave a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the overall narration. She seems to have love & affection for this book:-)
Any additional comments?
This is an excellent version of The Wizard of Oz. I purchased another audible version when my (now teenaged) kids were young and we could not finish it. This is a fun, imaginative book and Anne's reading enhances the story.
