Meant for children

Revisado: 12-30-21

This is a very quick and superficial overview. It quick and all over in just five minutes. It is truly meant to educate children about King Henry VIII. I'd suggest it to help a grade school student for a small book report or paper while reading up with other sources of material about Tudor history.

Fast Paced and Switches Modes.

Revisado: 04-29-15

Would you listen to The Harvesting again? Why?

Yes, It's different and it changes quickly.

What other book might you compare The Harvesting to and why?

Right now it's much like the Zombie craze that is going on but there is a twist so it's much of it's own that way.

What about Kristin James’s performance did you like?

It was great. I liked it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I didn't have a laugh or cry moment but I did like the switching mode and I liked the pace of the book.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed the book. Nice twist.

Sci-fi story with a small slash of fantasy.

Revisado: 04-20-15

Where does Kyrathaba Rising rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is one of the best stories I've read. If you are are a sci-fi fan and enjoy a little fantasy this is the book to read.

What did you like best about this story?

I was surprised by all of it. Mostly, I was impressed with the writing. This was edited well. I really enjoyed the parts that they Tolkien parts.

What does Christine Padovan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This was the first time listening to Charistine Padovan. She did well with the story.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

For some reason I was reminded of Anathem by Neal Stephenson. I'm not sure why but I felt a connection with this story and Anathem. Perhaps its the style.

This book really blew me away. One of the best sci-fi books I've read for the year.

Retelling of Virgil and Homer stories.

Revisado: 04-20-15

Would you listen to Black Ships again? Why?

Yes. I'm going to continue on in the series. I think it would be kind of fun to read Virgil and Homer then this again.

If you’ve listened to books by Jo Graham before, how does this one compare?

This is my first time.

Have you listened to any of Gigi Shane’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first time.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were a few parts that did make me laugh. I found the little argument while some were sleeping funny. I didn't cry.

Any additional comments?

I liked it. It's mainly from the POV of Gull, an oracle. It's also a great deal of being on ships on the sea and trying to survive and having freedom. There is a romance in this. There are a few humorous scenes. I'll put it on the TRL for in case I'd like to

Don't ever stick me in this situation!

Revisado: 04-15-15

Where does Strangers rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The story is dark and gripping. The narration is great. Jeffrey Kafer is one of my favorites.

What did you like best about this story?

This was freaky. This is one of your worst nightmares that just is pure survival.

Which scene was your favorite?

When there is a death that happens and questions are asked yet the others are wanting to go. (A bedroom scene). That sounds so messed up but it's to not give away anything.

Who was the most memorable character of Strangers and why?

Jerry.

Any additional comments?

This is a fast paces story. Dark. Nightmarish. Sticks with you.

Thriller with pets.

Revisado: 04-15-15

Would you listen to Lost and Found again? Why?

Yes. I enjoyed the story a lot. I loved the idea of it and how the different POVs happened. Shojai did a great job on character voices.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes. It's a scary concept and kept me going to the end.

What about Amy Shojai’s performance did you like?

She was great. Lots of different character voices and POV.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. It lasts longer so if you did it would be too long but it was a good story.

Any additional comments?

My favorite character was Shadow. I loved his POV. I will look for more books by Shojai.

Now-a-day Detective with Noir feel.

Revisado: 04-15-15

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes. This is the first time reading a Renee Pawlish book and listening to Johnny Peppers. It had a Hollywood Noir feel to it.

Would you recommend This Doesn't Happen in the Movies to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes. For people that enjoy detective stories or Noir Hollywood memories. There is a lot of name dropping.

Which character – as performed by Johnny Peppers – was your favorite?

Reed.

Was This Doesn't Happen in the Movies worth the listening time?

Yes. I liked the story. A solid 3 stars.

Any additional comments?

I grabbed this kindle book a year ago. I just recently grabbed the audio version of it. It's a detective story, Reed's first case, set in present day but has a Noir feel to it. Reed is a huge fan to the Hollywood Noir genre and has all kinds of posters in his office. Thee is a lot of name dropping of the actors, actresses, movies, and even popular movies in the 80s.

It a quick and light read and goes very quickly and predictable. This isn't bad thing just knowing it will know what kind of mood to be in when reading it.

Pawlish is a fan of Hardy Boys and this is very evident with this detective story that stars Reed. I felt that it was along that style of a story.
