Historia
A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

The reader of this book, Jeff Hayes, is really versatile and talented. Though the story itself is entertaining & creative, Jeff's performance brought it together.

Historia
This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams. Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time.

Historia
The use of entheogens, or psychedelics, is out of the closet today. LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and other medicines once associated only with the counterculture are now being legally studied for their healing properties. But as Rachel Harris shows, the underground use and study of psychedelics by women dates back to the Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece. Harris interviews the modern women elders carrying on this tradition to gather their hard-won wisdom of experience.

Historia
Teetering awkwardly on the brink of insanity, unable to handle life in snowy, cold, ultra-conservative North Idaho, Carl and Erin sold their house and set out in search of a new place to call home. Suddenly finding themselves completely free of responsibilities, jobless, and with a little spare cash in the bank, it didn't take long before their serious search for a new life took some unexpected twists and turns. This is the story of what day-to-day life is really like on one of America's greatest trails.

Historia
This is a terrific audiobook. It's interesting, well-written, and timely. It's the story of a textbook editor who retires, reads the popular book The Wild Effect and decides to hike the Appalachian Trail - and have an unexpected adventure! The tone is wry humor, tongue in cheek - the author has a great sense of humor, is perky, and as she learns in this adventure, is often in over her head! She is a very likeable character.

The story is great. The author bounces around a bit, but the narrator has a thick Utah accent that just grates.

Historia
Wildly successful when it was first published in 1955, Patrick Dennis' Auntie Mame sold over two million copies and stayed put on the New York Times bestseller list for 112 weeks. It was made into a play, a Broadway as well as a Hollywood musical, and a fabulous movie starring Rosalind Russell. Since then, Mame has taken her rightful place in the pantheon of Great and Important People as the world's most beloved, madcap, devastatingly sophisticated, and glamorous aunt.

Horrible narrator

The narrator is really bad, and there is a 15 minute introduction that will make your ears bleed. Otherwise Auntie Mame is an amazing novel. Truly hilarious!

Good writing but not a lot going on
Revisado: 07-03-19
The writing is fun but Quinn writes about so many hiking days in that are the same. Not a lot of interesting events. I can't take 9 more hours of this.

Historia
Clever and ambitious, Emma Jung yearned to study the natural sciences at the University of Zurich. But the strict rules of proper Swiss society at the beginning of the 20th century dictated that a woman of Emma's stature - one of the richest heiresses in Switzerland - travel to Paris to "finish" her education, to prepare for marriage to a suitable man. Engaged to the son of one of her father's wealthy business colleagues, Emma's conventional and predictable life was upended when she met Carl Jung.

Carl plays center stage
Revisado: 12-23-16
Emma plays more of a supporting role in this book than the subtitle implies. I thought a lot more of her would be displayed, but most of the book is about Carl and his comings and goings. A lot of fairly uninteresting, superfluous information is given in this book, such as answers of patients to Jung's free association tests or some of the letters between various figures. Overall, I was disappointed. The subtitle really is misleading.

January First is a brilliant and harrowingly honest memoir.

January First is the extraordinary story of a father's fight to save his child from an extremely severe case of mental illness in the face of overwhelming adversity.

Fascinating story; author is annoying
Revisado: 11-10-15
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend the book because the story of January and her illness is very interesting.
What was one of the most memorable moments of January First?
January being desperate to hit her dog and her father trying to stop her and distract her.
What three words best describe Patrick Lawlor’s voice?
high-pitched, scratchy, grating
Any additional comments?
I found the author's description of his interactions with his wife to be shocking. The author was very disrespectful of his wife, and so many of their interactions left me feeling like I had wandered into a couple's spat at a party. I'm also amazed at how arrogant the author is about his perceive abilities to connect with his daughter. He really seems to be delusional in this aspect.

Historia
Meet Zoe and Greg Milton, a married couple who have let themselves go a bit. Zoe was a stunner in her college days, but the intervening decades have added five stone, and removed most of her self-esteem. Greg's rugby-playing days are well and truly behind him, thanks to countless pints of beer and chicken curry. When Elise, a radio DJ and Zoe's best friend, tells them about a new competition, it seems like the perfect opportunity to turn their lives around.

Disappointing
Revisado: 07-21-15
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No. The story telling was long-winded. I don't think that the author has taken ibuprofen, had a blister, or returned anything to Amazon ever.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I haven't finished it yet, but I'm having a hard time wanting to.
Have you listened to any of Heather Wilds and Napoleon Ryan ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't.
Did Fat Chance inspire you to do anything?
Yes. I'm contemplating returning the book.
