What would have made Make Your Mark better?
The book is written from the sole perspective of someone who works at a task best performed by a solitary sole. Interaction with others is an evil to be purged from your day. If your creativity involves a Service role where thise so-called distractions and interruptions are the core of your business .. a teacher, a performer, a carer, a commercial artist or photographer, then DONT BUY THIS BOOK. If the phone ringing or email beeping to the arrival of a customer, or a new student, or a gig booking, then pass by swiftly. If your creativity is blogging, tweeting, and emailing to keep your profile i the customer's field of view, then do not walk past, run for your life, this book will kill your business. If you, like this author, are an author who best works in cave hidden away from others, then email me and I will gift you my copy of this Stone Age Technophobic book. Quote, "It's not good enough to be busy ... ants are busy ... blah blah." Well Ms Glei, ants are very a effective community. They communicate with each ant they meet on their relentless role of fostering and caring for the community. They creatively adapt to their environment in amazing ways - ask a biological scientist if you disagree. Not everyone who is creative needs or is best working as an island. And your comment on there being no such thing as effective human multi-tasking is laughably wrong. Not a book for anyone other than a non-commercial writer/novelist/author/sculptor/painter, Not even a journalist could use this poor book.
Would you ever listen to anything by Jocelyn K. Glei (Editor) again?
Not likely
What does Joyce Bean bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The missed opportunity of hurling this paperback into the trash can.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Astonishment and disappointment

Historia
In tough times, crime is one of the few things that still pay, but if defence attorney Mickey Haller was expecting an uptick in business during the economic downturn, the reality is a different story. Even people needing legal representation to keep them out of jail have to make cut-backs, it seems.

Masterful story teller

Michael Connelly has done it again with this Mickey Haller story. Gripping to the end and his in-depth characters make his a good read/listen.

Would you consider the audio edition of Jazz 101 to be better than the print version?
A good overview of jazz from a USA-oriented perspective, just that it misses so much ... where is the European influence. What is Jazz 101 without Gypsy Jazz? About Jazz 85.
What did you like best about this story?
A lot about it is good.
What three words best describe Grover Gardner’s voice?
Monotonous
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
