Jill and Derick knew a normal life wasn’t possible for them. As a star on the popular TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting, Jill grew up in front of viewers who were fascinated by her family’s way of life. She was the responsible, second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle’s nineteen kids; always with a baby on her hip and happy to wear the modest ankle-length dresses with throat-high necklines.

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name.

Excellent book! Very worth the read.

This book is very well-written and never lags. I would recommend it particularly for book clubs because the book begs to be picked apart and discussed.
And the narrator, oh my, she is one of the best I've heard, right up there with John Lee, Paul Michael and Davina Porter.

Exodus is an international publishing phenomenon - the towering novel of the 20th century's most dramatic geopolitical event. Leon Uris magnificently portrays the birth of a new nation in the midst of enemies - the beginning of an earthshaking struggle for power. Here is the tale that swept the world with its fury: the story of an American nurse, an Israeli freedom fighter caught up in a glorious, heartbreaking, triumphant era. Here is Exodus - one of the great best-selling novels of all time.

Would you listen to Exodus again? Why?
Yes. One of the best I've listened to.
Have you listened to any of Paul Michael’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have listened to Paul Michael before. Is there an accent he can't do? Right up there with the great John Lee and Davina Porter.

A fascinating and intimate novel of the life of Mary Todd Lincoln, narrated by the First Lady herself. Mary Todd Lincoln is one of history's most misunderstood and enigmatic women. She was a political strategist, a supporter of emancipation, and a mother who survived the loss of three children and the assassination of her beloved husband. She also ran her family into debt, held séances in the White House, and was committed to an insane asylum - which is where Janis Cooke Newman's debut novel begins.

Thomas Jefferson had three daughters: Martha and Maria by his wife, Martha Wayles Jefferson, and Harriet by his slave Sally Hemings. Although the three women shared a father, the similarities end there. Martha and Maria received a fine convent school education while they lived with their father during his diplomatic posting in Paris. Once they returned home, however, the sisters found their options limited by the laws and customs of early America. Harriet Hemings followed a different path. She escaped slavery — apparently with the assistance of Jefferson himself.

I found the book tedious and boring. I love reading History but this author kept injecting her own political agenda. It was more subtle at first but toward the end all pretense of simply reporting was abandoned.
The narrator reminded me of a disapproving teacher. At the end of the book her contempt was palatable.

In 1558 the ancient stones of Kingsbridge Cathedral look down on a city torn apart by religious conflict. As power in England shifts precariously between Catholics and Protestants, high principles clash bloodily with friendship, loyalty, and love. Ned Willard wants nothing more than to marry Margery Fitzgerald. But when the lovers find themselves on opposing sides of the religious divide sweeping across the country, Ned goes to work for Princess Elizabeth. When she becomes queen, all Europe turns against England.

Not up to Follet's standards
Revisado: 02-17-18
What disappointed you about A Column of Fire?
The only thing good about this book was the narration by the fabulous John Lee. This book was tedious and simply a rehash of the Pillars of the Earth series.
Would you ever listen to anything by Ken Follett again?
Definitely. I tend to love Follet.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Yes. John Lee.
